What caused Leon Trotsky to mistrust the peasantry in Russia regarding a revolution?
ChuckSiata
Leon Trotsky was neither a worker, peasant, or member of the bourgeois, he was a revolutionary intellectual. He was completely outside the realm of most Russians. He dreaded having the problems of the peasants to be solved before those of the working class. He wanted however to make use of the peasantry for the purpose of seizing power. He also believed that the peasantry would betray the revolution just as the bourgeois did in 1905 and 1848. It is by the close examination of the intellectual thirst for power that the true motives of revolutionaries like Trotsky can be seen. In today's world, this same idea persists. The intellectual elites want a society where they rule. Any measure to attain that is justified by creating class warfare.
