I guess I get that ... the liberal commie, not commie enough.
As I understand it, Trotsky was a globalist-communist, but he didn’t think violence was necessary to achieve the revolution. He thought continual government pressure could be used instead. He ran afoul of Stalin, who was a nationalist-communist and Stalin didn’t want to wait 100 years for the revolution to finish, so he resorted to extreme violence to secure his position and finish the work with Russia’s borders.
