==Permanent revolution==

Trotsky's most influential idea was the notion of permanent revolution.  Drawing on the experiences of the 1905 Russian Revolution, Trotsky maintained that revolution would spread worldwide after the international proletariat's aid to the Russian workers, who in turn would "export" the revolution abroad.  By contrast Stalin rejected Trotsky’s theory and presented his own thesis on socialism in one country (Russia) in 1926.  Trotsky asserted that the unification of developed and backward countries in the worldwide operations of capitalism created a combination of separate and uneven stages of development in backward countries like Russia, permitting the Russian proletariat the capability of carrying out a revolution but at the same time requiring the permanent extension of revolution in time and space until the extinction of class distinctions.  A similar ideology regarding revolution would be adhered by [[Sturmabteilung]] leader [[Ernst Röhm]].<ref>Shirer, William L. ''Rise and Fall of the Third Reich''. "The Nazification of Germany: 1933-34; 'No Second Revolution'"<br />''"A tremendous victory has been won.  But not an absolute victory! The SA and the SS will not tolerate the German revolution going to sleep and being betrayed at the half-way stage by non-combatants.  Not for the sake of the SA and SS but for Germany's sake.  For the SA is the last armed force of the nation, the last defense against communism.  If the German revolution is wrecked by the reactionary opposition, incompetence, or laziness, the German people will fall into despair and will be an easy prey for the bloodstained frenzy coming from the depths of Asia.  If these bourgeois simpletons think that the national revolution has already lasted too long, for once we agree with them.  It is in fact high time the national revolution stopped and became the National Socialist one.  Whether they like it or not, we will continue our struggle - if they understand at last what it is about - with them; if they are unwilling - without them; and if necessary - against them."''[http://spartacus-educational.com/GERroehm.htm]</ref>
