この電子書籍について

In "Results and Prospects," Leon Trotsky presents a profound analysis of the Russian Revolution and the trajectory of socialism, articulated through a Marxist lens. This seminal work is characterized by Trotsky's vivid prose, theoretical rigor, and a sense of urgency that reflects the tumultuous period in which it was written. Published in 1906, the book examines the revolutionary potential of the proletariat, critiques both reformist and opportunist elements within the working-class movements, and postulates the necessity for a global revolution to realize socialist ideals. Through these explorations, Trotsky situates his writing within the broader context of early 20th-century Marxism, making it essential for understanding the ideological battles of the era. Trotsky, a key figure in the Bolshevik Revolution and a staunch advocate for permanent revolution, draws upon his personal experiences and radical political activity to inform his analysis. His intellectual journey, marked by his opposition to Stalin's bureaucratic regime, imbues "Results and Prospects" with a sense of urgency and conviction about revolutionary theory. Trotsky's unique perspective, shaped by his historical involvement in both theory and practice, enhances the text's authority and relevance. This book is highly recommended for those interested in revolutionary theory, political history, and the complexities of socialist thought. Scholars, students, and general readers alike will find Trotsky's insights illuminating as they grapple with the ongoing struggles for social justice and equality in contemporary society. "Results and Prospects" is not merely a historical account; it is a clarion call for continued revolutionary action.

著者について

Leon Trotsky (1879–1940), born Lev Davidovich Bronstein, was an influential Marxist theorist, revolutionary leader, and a primary figure in the 1917 October Revolution in Russia, which he played a significant role in organizing as the leader of the Petrograd Soviet. An important contributor to Bolshevik thought and the development of Marxism, Trotsky is perhaps best known for his theory of 'permanent revolution,' as extensively articulated in his seminal work, 'Results and Prospects' (1906). This book emphasizes the potential for working-class revolutions to spread internationally and criticizes the limitations of a purely national focus in socialist movements. Trotsky's intellectual contributions extend to works such as 'The History of the Russian Revolution' (1930) and 'The Revolution Betrayed' (1936), where he analyzes and critiques the rise of Stalinism in the context of the degeneration of the Soviet Union from the ideals of the October Revolution. A prolific writer and orator, Trotsky combined an acute analytical acumen with an impassioned advocacy for international socialism. Following his expulsion from the Communist Party and subsequent exile from the Soviet Union due to his opposition to Stalin's policies, Trotsky's writings became an ideological cornerstone for the fourth internationalist movement. His literary style, known for its persuasive rhetoric and sharp critique, has made Trotsky's works essential reading for students of political science, international relations, and captivating to a wider audience interested in the history of revolutionary thought.
