Why do you ask?
Trotsky was more radical than Stalin, a better orator, writer etc. But he could be autocratic, stubborn, and I disagree with him on the trade union question. He saw the rising levels of bureaucracy inherent in the soviet state, and tried to combat him. Stalin came to the same conclusions as Trotsky, albeit at a later time, after Trotsky was exiled for opposing the ruling clique

Hehe. Just accept that our lives our meaningless and the universe is a cold and cruel place, and you will either be more depressed or feel a sense of euphoric liberation
You are like a Finnish version of me. Maybe your ancestors were Vikings and settled in Britain, and we're secretly related
Let's see. Kim the First came up with Juche, which is like Maoism with a dash of Hoxha, and the result is something weird, clearly revisionist, but also oddly affective; north Korea experienced more economic growth than south Korea until the late Eighties, around the collapse of the Eastern Bloc and just before the Soviet Union's dissolution. Shortly thereafter, Kim the First dies, and Kim the Second comes up with Songun as a response to increased political aggression from the United States. I'm not sure what Kim the Third will come up with, but I'm telling you right now, I'm calling the whole thing "Juche," not "Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism-Kimjongunism." Or maybe just "Kimism." Kim the Third is young; maybe he'll come up with "Jeonche," and shift resources to other sectors of society besides the military.
