HERE TROTSkyites, here is some info, there is nothing anywhere on this
I have been doing alot of work on this question, and the main points you need to show are what are his ideals and how they go way beyond his self interest
For example. In the early beginnings he wrote and editedmany newspapers such as the Iskra and the Prava, Why did he do this becuase of his ideals of a permanent revoloution. Did this go way beyond his self interest yes. He could have kept on studying mathematics which he was good at but put his ideals that he wished for above this, and didnt care about his self interests even though he might get in jaul for it
Lets look at the 1917 revoloution. What were his ideals, achieving the revoloution, overthrowing the Tsar, did he achieve this yes. Did he put this above his self interests of ultimate power of the party yes and did he risk his own self interest of security and comfort and riske his own death for the party yes, thus his ideals are put above eveyrthing else
You must in order to get the top marks do this for everything throughout his life. Now people arguing against this quote would say about the power sturggle, but use this to your advantage say that he was merely putting the ideals of the party at heart because he wanted a Permanent revoloution over the Socialism in one country of Stalin
Look at his writings after his exile
Hope this helps everyone
Thanks
