Neokonservativní obhajoba Trockého

Stephen Schwartz: "It is certainly true that Trotsky's role at Kronstadt was abominable. It is also true that very few people today know or care about Kronstadt, which may or may not be bad. But a great deal more people know about the Moscow purge trials of the 1930s. In that instance, Trotsky fearlessly denounced and exposed the totalitarian lies being purveyed by the Soviets and echoed by the leftist intellectuals around the world. Which, in the end, is more important today?"

Odpovídám: Zavraždění Kronstadtu. Je to proto, že ukazuje přetvářku establishmentu. Bolševici se tvářili jako levice, ale ve skutečnosti zavraždili autentickou levici. Neokonservativci se tváří jako demokraté, ale ve skutečnosti potlačují pluralitu.
