The event reflects the objective change that has been underway for some time in the relationship between Trotskyism and the international working class.
Trotsky spent the critical years of his exile on Prinkipo writing masterpieces and organizing the Left Opposition in the Communist International all over the world.
Trotsky’s assassination was the most consequential political assassination of the 20th century. It was the culmination of the Stalinist Great Terror and the product of one of world history’s bleakest and bloodiest conspiracies.
This is the speech by <em>World Socialist Web Site</em> International Editorial Board Chairman David North to “An Island at the Center of World History: Trotsky on Prinkipo,” held on Sunday, August 20.
