Compared to the #Czars #Lenin was a competent and a nice guy, sadly for all Russians, he was an arrogant bastard, and #Trotsky even more so. Lenin looked down on the peasants, Trotsky looked down on the peasants AND the #proletariat . #Lenin gave all party members perks that began to corrupt the ideology, and #Stalin used those perks to gain loyalty from people with loose belief in #communism . Trotsky would have been the right man for the job, but wasn't the best at gaining and holding power. Communism would have been somewhat repressive but no where near the terror and brutality and death that it was under Stalin, with deaths that dwarfed most czars, and 3% of the population was incarcerated.. After that all new socialist nations were forced due to trade embargoes by the west to become Stalinist instead of a more democratic system. This only ended once Stalin Died and places like Chile, Vietnam, Cuba and Laos aimed to be democratic, but with all the American backed coups and embargoes, this was not to be sadly.
Why Trotsky Lost to Stalin (Even Though He Was Smarter)
