    Trotsky was inclined to empower the workers’ councils (Soviets) to be decision-makers. He was far more democratic than most of the other Bolsheviks. Not saying it would have worked, but I highly doubt it would have been worse than the Stalinist era.

      Was Trotsky a Russian chauvinism? But based solely on Stalin, it’d be hard to do worse, by whatever measure you have for worse.

        He was a Ukrainian Jew so I would say no as he was already an outsider in that respect. Then again Stalin wasn’t exactly Russian either
