Absolutely. One of the main points of Leninism is that revolution could be achieved only by a small group of professional revolutionaries as opposed to the populace in general. Thus, once he and his Bolsheviks did take over the country, they had to maintain their gains by the same method. All other political parties were abolished, all people disagreeing with his policies were branded counter-revolutionaries and eliminated and only Bolsheviks Party member were allowed to work in key government and industrial positions.

∙ 13y agoYes, Trotsky was a totalitarian in the sense that he would permit no deviation from the Bolshevik/Communist plan for the country whether the people wanted it or not. Trotsky was every bit as ruthless and oppressive as Lenin was toward anyone who voiced opposition to the Party line.

Yes, he was a brutal dictator. He certainly wasn’t a Communist, which would have meant he wanted the abolition of the wages system.
