Trotsky’s ideas rise from the ashes

It has been 70 years since Leon Trotsky, one of the leaders of the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, was assassinated by an undercover Soviet agent.
This was a good story! I believe the world does need Trotsky. I also want to thank RT for reporting this story, and many other stories, such as the Wikileaks scandal, the protests in Europe against austerity capitalism and U.S. war moves from Honduras to Korea (and everywhere in between). In the U.S. the major TV news networks act as propaganda services for the government and large corporations, so in the U.S. we are starved for television news that tells us real stories. RT helps.
The most powerful and orthodox trotskyism is in France. There's Lutte Ouvriere(Workers Struggle) party. It has strong positions in labour unions especially in auto industry. It's sister's organisations in Haiti/Cote d'Ivoire and Turkey promotes the struggle in hard and iilegal conditions.
Good story. Time for Russia to officially rehabilitate Trotsky?
