    Fucking hell… it’s so awkward seeing a sophisticated writer in a rare moment of privacy like this.

    If I ever become a historical figure (highly doubtful), I’m sure that somebody would scrounge up chatlogs of mine somewhat similar to this letter.

    You might think this is cringe but who among us doesn’t like hearing about how horny Fidel was?

    What makes you cringe more: Trotsky’s sex letters or the Anarchist Library?

      I think this just shows how much he loved his woman which is super good, in my opinion. This letter was not supposed to be seen by anyone except for the addressee.

      I have never understood why anarchist like Trotsky more than Lenin.

        Real reason: the USSR survived under Lenin and Stalin, and anarchists have a fetish for failure and defeatism.

        Meme reason: Lenin appointed him king in his last testament! What’s more anarchist than hand picking your successor?
