But Trotsky was at odds with Lenin and was sent into exile a few years after his death, and then assassinated by Stalin in Mexico.
But it was not the Revolution that put the elite in power they just took it...just like they did in Russia, and in most revolutions...by hook and by crook...The revolutions are all based on moral principles and good intentions of liberty and justice, and they are soon corrupted by power and wealth.
