Author Biography
Dave Prince (1943- ) has been a member of the National Committee of the Socialist Workers Party since 1977. He is the author of the introduction to The Jewish Question: A Marxist Interpretation (2020). Leon Trotsky (1879-1940) was part of the central leadership forged by Bolshevik party leader V.I. Lenin that organized the revolutionary conquest of power by workers and peasants in Russia in October 1917. V.I. Lenin (1870-1924) was the central leader of the Bolshevik Party, which led workers and peasants to power in the world's first socialist revolution in October 1917. He was chairman of the revolutionary workers and peasants government in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Lenin was the founding leader of the Communist International, which worked to advance the building of proletarian parties worldwide able to emulate what toilers in Russia had accomplished by conquering state power. In the final year of his active political life, Lenin led the fight within the Communist Party of the Soviet Union against the course of the growing petty bourgeois and newly emerging bourgeois layers in the Soviet Union that Joseph Stalin came to represent.
