On Leon Trotsky...
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Purveyor of Truth Leon Trotsky Recently my curiosity over whether the USSR would have been a far different state had Trotsky succeeded Lenin rather than Stalin was renewed. A post over at Contra O'Reilly is responsible for this revived curiosity. Of course the question that is fun to consider is would have Russia (USSR) and the world been better for it. Of course we'll never know the answer to these musings but there certainly is a large volume of information for anyone interested in the life and times of Leon Trotsky. Following is an interesting discussion with Hitchens and Service at the Hoover Institute.
