it seems the page was culled down from the previous entry for not containing enough "secondary, independent" sources. however the previous entry was to a large degree a summary of his own memoirs. i fail to see how this primary source lacks value that another's summary of his life (which would, necessarily, draw from his memoirs!) would allegedly provide. as it stands the current page provides hardly any information whatsoever. it should be revised back to the previous version that contained detailed information about his life and political development. 24.148.91.14 (talk) 17:11, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
""I am afraid we will soon see burst on the scene in various countries communist-totalitarian condottieri like Mao Tse-tung or Tito, cynical and convinced, who will be 'revolutionaries' or counter-revolutionaries – or both at the same time – according to the orders they receive, and capable of a complete about face from one day to the next."

Sad that his abuses at the hands of soviet authorities caused him to adopt such a two dimensional, anti-communist Cold War outlook. Mao and Tito were leaders of authentic, deep seated social revolutions in their countries of world historic importance in their own right, events that were not at all a function of them being manipulated by a foreign puppet master like Josef Stalin, with their later dramatic breaks with the USSR being clear evidence of that. Not that it matters, but that mentality rooted in defeat and demoralization was not one Trotsky subscribed to, in fact he polemicized against it during the last year of his life.
This is a major article to be nearly entirely unsourced, with not even general references. Unless there is immediate interest in retroactively adding sources, it looks like it'll need WP:TNT to be rewritten from reliable sources. czar 05:47, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There is a new book out about Serge’s life in France during the army years of World War 2, living under the Nazi occupation. It would be good if that period of his life were to be addressed in the article 2604:2D80:ED08:A00:89F3:D900:59AF:3749 (talk) 20:23, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
