The Evil of Leon Trotsky Revisited
6th November 2009
Two of Leon Trotsky’s best-known quotes are his statement that “Where the sole employer is the State, opposition means death by slow starvation” (made famous, especially among libertarians, in part because it was quoted by Hayek in The Road to Serfdom), and the very next sentence in the same paragraph: “The old principle: who does not work shall not eat, has been replaced with a new one: who does not obey shall not eat.”
Not really news, but a useful reminder that Islam is not the only danger to freedom in the world; Communism remains fashionable among the Crust, and has not yet been defeated. The stake is through it’s heart, but we still need to cut off the head and fill the mouth with garlic.
