Stalin objected to Trotski getting other people to do his homework for him instead of doing it himself.

Iosif Vissarionvich Dzhugashvili (1879-1953)(later Koba then Joseph Stalin) and Lev Davidovich Bronstein (1879-1940)(later Leon Trotsky then Judas Trotsky) had completely different ideas as to how Socialism could be brought about in Russia. Trotsky declared that it was impossible to build Socialism in Russia because the Russian peasants did not want it - it would only be possible if the workers of the West (Europe) revolted and carried the Russian peasants with them. Stalin declared that it was impossible to wait for the Western(European) workers to revolt before building Socialism in Russia, because the Western workers were not likely to revolt in the immediate future - therefore Socialism would be built in Russia only if the Bolshevik Party forced the Russian peasantry to it. And for Marie here is a young Leon.
