| | Introduction: The Theory of Permanent Revolution, Its Origins and its Application Today |
| | Lenin argued for a new formulation to describe the kind of state sought in the forthcoming revolution. | | | For the Mensheviks the role of Marxists and the Russian working class was to act as an auxiliary left pressure group on the bourgeoisie in the revolutionary movement. | | | Both currents agreed that the mounting social upheavals in Russia were leading to a bourgeois-democratic revolution which would usher in a period of capitalist development. |

| | For this act of heresy, Trotsky, the champion of permanent revolution, excommunicated Stalin as a "reformist" -- and was himself rewarded in 1940 with an ice ax in the head, courtesy of Stalinist assassin Ramon Mercader. | | | He charges that NED had a hand in the 2002 coup that briefly overthrew his government and in the recall election forced upon him in 2004. | | | Foreign journalists contend that the color-coded popular "revolutions" that ousted Milosevic in Serbia, Shevardnadze in Georgia and the Kuchma crowd in Ukraine were also made in the U.S. and hand-tooled at Langley. |

| | Chris Bambery: Permanent Revolution (1983/86) |
| | His ideas were accepted whole-heartedly by Lenin, who argued for a workers’ revolution on his return to St Petersburg after the fall of the Tsar in February 1917. | | | After all, it had been the great bourgeois revolutions – in England during the mid-17th century and above all the great French Revolution of 1789 – which had created the possibilities for socialism by overthrowing feudalism, laying the basis for the capitalist development which created the industrial working class, and ushering in democratic rule. | | | But when the revolution actually broke, the capitalists, however liberal they might have been in speech, rallied to the Tsar and his state. |

| | Permanent Revolution and the National Question Today |
| | In this regard, his comments on the African National Congress, written in 1934 to a group of supporters in South Africa, are worth recalling: | | | However, disagreements arose over the political relationship between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat in the achievement of the democratic revolution and the political and state forms through which the democratic revolution would be realized. | | | Thus, the decisive role in the democratic revolution was to be played by the working class; and it could be consummated only in the form of the dictatorship of the proletariat. |

| | This position was put forward to the Bolsheviks on his return to Russia, in his April Theses. | | | Therefore it was argued the future revolution must be led by the proletariat who would not only carry through the tasks of the Bourgeois Democratic Revolution but would commence a struggle to surpass the bourgeois democratic revolution. | | | This effort was seen as being the Chinese Bourgeois Democratic Revolution, and the fact that communists supported it meant a return to a Stagist position. |

| | The relevance of permanent revolution |
| | As Lenin would later write, "it was the Bolsheviks… who, thanks to the victory of the proletarian revolution, helped the peasants to lead the bourgeois democratic revolution to the end". | | | However, in one of his last writings, Three conceptions of the Russian revolution (1939) he argued that the Marxist appreciation of the peasantry as a non-socialist class had never had an "absolute and immutable" character. | | | It was during 1905, in a number of articles for the revolutionary press, that Trotsky would formulate for the first time his new doctrine - systematised later in the pamphlet Results and Prospects (1906). |

| | Permanent Revolution, as a belief, was also to bring Trotsky into direct conflict with Joseph Stalin after the death of Lenin in January 1924. | | | Permanent Revolution, in the eyes of Trotsky, was a world where somewhere a communist revolution was taking place and the old order was being overthrown, bringing in government by the people. | | | Trotsky believed that a world experiencing a permanent revolution could only strengthen the hold of the working class and destroy what he viewed as the old order that had done all it could to strangulate the workers. |
