Seventy years since the assassination of Leon
Trotsky bourgeois writers and historians are attempting to bury the man
again. They are constantly demonizing him and his ideas. That is because
they understand that his ideas are not dead, but very alive and have
never been so relevant as they are today, in this period of crisis of
capitalism.

On August 21, 1940 the great
revolutionary fighter, theoretician, and martyr, Leon Trotsky, died of
the wounds inflicted in a brutal attack by a Stalinist agent. To mark
the 70^th anniversary of his assassination we want to bring to
the attention of our readers some of the material we published on the
www.marxist.com about the life, work and ideas of Trotsky.

Today 6th August is the 20th anniversary of the death of Marxist MP and class fighter Pat Wall. In his memory we publish a tribute to him by Rob Sewell.
