Stalin and Trotsky had different views on many issues regarding Marxism - Leninism. The most significant difference was that Trotsky can be said to have been a true Marxist, while Stalin took a more "practical" view on how Marxism should be applied to the Soviet Union. Another key difference was that Trotsky believed that debate and different points of view on various issues were healthy for the communist party. On the other hand, Stalin believed that decisions, once made, were not open for discussion.
Yes, Stalin had Trotsky killed eventually. However, before that he had Trotsky kicked out of USSR politics and then the USSR itself.
Trotsky and Stalin's interpretations of Marxism differed greatly because Stalin was a Bolshevik while Trotsky was a Menshevik.
Snowball represents Leon Trotsky, Napoleon represents Stalin. Stalin manipulated the politics to force Trotsky out of power (of the farm) and then used many of Trotsky's ideas.
No in fact they were enemies, that's why trotsky was killed by the CIA. Stalin was jealous of trotsky.
Leon Trotsky accused Joseph Stalin of being a tyrant and demanded democracy. Although Lenin wanted Trotsky to assume leadership after his death, Stalin's supporters out-maneuvered Trotsky. Stalin suppressed Lenin's will and manipulated Trotsky out of his post of Commissioner of War as well as out of the Politburo.
Joseph Stalin opposed Trotsky in their struggle for power after Vladimir Lenin died in 1924.
Trotsky was mad at Stalin because he did not have a major role in the Russian Revolution.
Stalin had Trotsky expelled from the Communist Party and exiled from the Soviet Union. He then ordered the assassination of Trotsky, who was killed in Mexico in 1940 by a Soviet agent.
The main persons vying for power were Leon Trotsky and Joseph Stalin. There were others, such as Grigori Zinoviev and Nikolai Bukharin, but the first battle was between Trotsky and Stalin. Lenin favored Trotsky over Stalin, but Stalin was too entrenched in the Communist Party for Trotsky to win that struggle.
Poorly, in fact he was assassinated on Stalin's orders.
Stalin's biggest rival was Leon Trotsky.
Leon Trotsky posed a threat to Joseph Stalin's hold on the power in Russia after Lenin's death. Many Bolshevik leaders supported Trotsky's philosophy of "permanent revolution" while others supported Stalin's policy of "socialism in one country." Stalin allied himself with Grigory Zinoviev and Lev Kamenev against Trotsky and eventually had enough people loyal to him to expel Trotsky from the Communist Party. Trotsky continued to criticize Stalin and tried to line up support against Stalin. Stalin knew the only way to completely eliminate Trotsky as a rival would be to get him out of the country entirely, so Trotsky was exiled to Turkey.Trotsky was exiled because of his opposition to Stalin.The excuse Stalin gave for the exile of Trotsky was that he did not go to Lenins funeral-but Stalin idid not invite him to the funeral.
