Trotsky’s Speech

But our party is not a party of political empiricism, that is, it is not a party that lives from case to case (...) -

There are common features in the nature of war and of revolution. These common (...) -

Looking back on 2013, it was a year of records. The capitalist class – the owners of the banks and corporations – brought in record amounts of wealth. Their profits have hit an all-time record in this country, making up over 70 percent of the GDP (the gross domestic product – all wealth produced in one year). Companies are making the most amount of money since anytime after 1947 – the year that records started to be kept.
Banks alone made record amounts (...) -
