Trotsky was a Jew, as was a lot of the Bolshevik leadership.
Wow, what a great presentation People Profiles. I enjoy learning other countries history besides The U.S. 💯
Trotsky was cool he was a true revolutionary for his Mother land (we don't know how just he could have been had not Stalin conived his way in )🤬😡
And I didn't know that Lenin passed not long after the revolution and the Abdication of Czar Nicolas.
And what was the U.S. , GB, and France doing funding the white Army in Russia? Maybe they were trying to get the Czar back or quell the communist revolution?!
I'm learning and have taken notes. 😊
Trotsky the revolutionary financed by his brethren bankers in NY.
⛏️⛏️⛏️⛏️
The leader of a brutal muderous cult and the oddity that followed him too.
As a communist curious person it's great to have this type of stuff to get some idea of who's who and what is what, have to admit to admiration for Trotsky.

1:58 "And Russian and Ukranian was spoken at home…" – uh what?! There was no Ukrainian language back then. While there was a land that could be called Ukraine, there was no Ukranian language prior to the disolvement of the USSR in the late 20th century. Saying that PEASANTS/FARMERS COULD speak two languages BACK THEN is ridiculous. Heck, even now most farmers know one language. Ukrainian back then wasn't a language, but a dialect at best. And that statement is a STRETCH! It's like saying that people in one village are speaking a language of their own. The modern ukranian exists, but it's the only variety. Also if you know Russian you will understand Ukranian and vise versa quite well. If you have at least two neurons firing in your brain that is. There is a difference in the languages, but the emergence of Ukranian was due to political reasons, not because it existed back then – prior to 1900.
Trotsky: Bourgeois Theorist & Traitor to the Revolution
Sam Hyde can't keep getting away with it.
3:50 Yep! That was all due the Alexander II, the most reform-minded Tsar Russia ever had — who was ASSASSINATED by an Anarchist, and replaced by a highly repressive Tsar.
Sam Hyde?
0:30 that’s Sam fking Hyde
Let’s agree to never use “beating the men off” again when describing a brawl in defense of someone.
“Beating the assailant…..off” 😂😂😂
L joo trotsky
He was not Lennonist That is fundamental test of not being communist
He cant keep getting away with it.
Why is the picture sam hyde?
Sam Hyde looks like Trotsky
You don't need to repeat the same information backwards and forwards. Man that ruined this video for me.
Lev Davidovich Bronstein
bronstein….
that is all you need to know.
Trotsky had a pretty nice place in Coyoacán. You can tour it and see the bullet pocked wall from an assassination attempt. He was besties with wealthy elite communists Diego Rivera and Frida Khalo.
so basiclly he was a giant nerd
Sam hyde's dad… clearly.
okay but why is that Sam Hyde
Thanks for being a solid human made content channel in this age of slop. Much appreciated
Some say Trotsky’s real name was Sam Hydov
The councils were democratic and each office bearer had to be elected. Dont know how you can claim they were unelected?
The fact that none of the atrocities are layed at his feet and the glossing over of these facts is gross.
Great documentary. Thank you for producing it.
Tony Blair is a big fan.
When you find out Sam Hyde is actually Sam Trotsky
Trotsky supported the Red Terror. Case closed.
(((Bronstein)))
Ah yes, a quarrel between two ✡️’s on how to best destroy the world.
Every August 20th, I raise a glass to Ramon Mercader.
Knowing how commies operate they probably agitated the 1905 massacre.
