I hear alot about this “trotsky was the successor of Lenin” line…where does it come from?
As comrade Dolores said, it’s overblown myth based on few last letters of Lenin which were most likely forged and trots build a legend around that which is very much ridiculous for anyone who followed the Lenin’s writings.
It’s an old myth that was invented by Trotskyists after they lost the inter-party struggle in the 1920s and 30s.

Tldr: In Lenin’s final letters, he said Stalin was rude and that he might not show enough caution using power as Secretary-General
Now do it on a website that doesn’t do Trotskyist revisionism (they even admit to it!) — wonder if it looks different
Stalin agreed. And he also thought the Secretary-General position shouldn’t exist: https://socialistmlmusings.wordpress.com/2017/02/23/stalins-four-attempts-at-resignation/
We would be all speaking german if that happened, at least in europe.
I’ve never actually met a Trotskyist who claimed this, most of them understand that’s not how a worker’s state works.
