  1. …and, “The end may justify the means as long as there is something that justifies the end.” Thus, an icepick to the skull to cool a hothead is justified in establishing temperature and temperament equilibrium.

  2. Anastasia, Thanks for your admirably succinct comment. But don’t be surprised that Trotsky fled to Mexico. If the government of a whole country wants to kill you, you might not have much choice. And if you plan to build a career as a revolutionary there,what better place than somewhere teeming with the credulous and impoverished? After all, it had just worked beautifully for his former pals in Russia.
