I think we might have had some discussions on this before, but I wanted to ask the board, once and for all-is there any way Trotsky could have won WWII? Yes, I know he was fighting the entire rest of Europe and that, after the Soviet intervention in the German Civil War went pear-shaped, its kind of hard to imagine him coming out on top-but was it impossible? Is there any way the Reds could have triumphed, or was communism doomed from the start?
