The only unifying "trait" between these men is the ideological philosophy, rooted in socialist doctrine explored and much advanced by Marx and later further developed by Lenin, who have created a new theory of his own of socialist revolution as a method of transforming society from capitalism to more responsible social welfare of the nation and society. Trotsky has also created a theory of his own by taking Marx work called "Capital" - writing on capitalist economy and society with futuristic outlook on the possible way of development and progress of capitalistic economy and society which under his view will inevitably come to realization of the social approach as a better way to manage economy in general, Natural Resources as the ground for the economy of production and social evolution of the working class, that will come to realization of the necessity for "CHANGE" and will lead to more democratic governance of the working place and social live of the nation, in the nation state. Trotsky is radical adept of the Marx teaching, who advocated the need for push towards the CHANGE, that it will not come by itself, that capitalist and owners of the big business will never allow for the CHANGE to take place since it will put their ownership of assets at risk and their businesses at heavy tax burden, that will make their ownership rather a responsibility then a means for self enrichment. Therefore Trotsky theory was called a military communism. In comparison Lenin theory was also advocating a revolution as means for CHANGE, that will not come by itself, but rather through the violent clash of massive people resistance to the present authorities and governing powers, but once achieved revolution will evolve into construction mode of the new society, and other people who did not support them at the time of the revolution will join their efforts to build a new social format of society he called communism. Trotsky's approach to successful establishment of communist was much different he advocated that acceptance of the new form of social organization called communism would rather be possible if all the oposition and those who did not support them in the establishment of the new social form of comunism would rather be killed, to secure proper development of communism.

Stalin was much unknown political figure at the time of Lenin and Trotsky, it would rather be their student and a good memeber of the communist party of Lenin, but probably he was very good student he learned the theory of CHANGE much to well, he advanced in the party ranks much too fast, he have staged the coups inside the party, organized the conspiracies against other party memebers, then tryed to kill Lenin unsucessfully (at first), but removed Lenin from the leadership position of the communist party assumed the role of the new leader, drived Trotsky in exile to Mexico, labeled him in the party as negative element and killed all his supporters, then killed all his own opposition in the party and otside, then killed Trotsky too.... and start building the new socialist society in a ways and methods Lenin and Trotsky advocated. Later he has created a theory of communism state of his own, but it looked rather as a manual to follow for all communist party memebers.

What is undeniable to Stalin is that he has build the communist society of Russia much like Marx have predicted a centure before, in his book "Capital", Stalin has turned Russia into very industrialized nation with GDP capacity greated then United States of that time (mid 1930-s) and have turned Russia from rural and agrarian type of economy at the earlier 1920 to the highly industrialized nation in 1935. However the price he paid for the progress in terms of human lives that have perished in the construction process of the industrial economy of Russia was to great for Russian people to apriciate the CHANGE, they rather hate it, but in fear to become next who would perish, they have kept silence and visible acceptance.

That was the time when the LOGO (heads of Marx, Lenin, Stalin) of Russian communist party have been created and accepted as the natonal symbol of the communist state of Russia. Trotsky perish in times for the communist party of Russia, however his theories on social CHANGE has found the way to other communist movements and leaders around the world like in Cuba for instance

What was Stalin's relationship to Leon Trotsky?

Stalin and Trotsky were among the top leaders of the Bolshevik Party after the Revolution and Civil War. They disliked one another intensely and had conflicting opinions on how to run the country after the revolution. Trotsky favored spreading communism to all countries as Marx and Lenin had envisioned. Stalin felt that they should establish communism firmly in one country first then move from there. Stalin also disliked Trotsky because he was Jewish and had only recently joined the Bolshevik Party. After Lenin died in 1924, the two vied for control of the Communist Party and the country with Stalin winning and expelling Trotsky first from the Communist Party then from the country. In 1940, Trotsky was living in Mexico in exile and Stalin had an undercover agent assassinate him.


Why did Lenin want Trotsky to be his successor?

While Lenin was initially critical of both Trotsky and Stalin, toward the end he began to see Stalin's true ambitions and strongly favored Trotsky over him. Trotsky, (who was by no means an angle) was ruthless but extremely dedicated to communism and sincerely belived in the cause. Trotsky would probably no do any thing as awful as Stalin did and probably would have entered WWII before stalin. all and all Trotsky's soviet union would probably bear more resembelence to the one envisioned by comrade Lenin.


When Lenin died in 1924 who would replace him Stalin or Trotsky?

Lenin wanted Trotsky to succeed him, because he felt that Stalin was too power hungry and crude. Lenin even wrote that before he died, but Stalin found out about it and suppressed it. Stalin as Secretary General of the Communist Party had placed many people loyal to him in high party office and had allied himself with Grigory Zinoviev and Lev Kamenev (both of whom hated Trotsky). Trotsky found himself isolated and without support to succeed Lenin. Stalin, Zinoviev and Kamenev ruled after Lenin died, but Stalin gradually eliminated them too and took complete control in 1928.
