What does the political cartoon depicting Leon Trotsky mean?
The caricaturist condemns Trotsky for selling his articles to the British Newspaper The Daily Express. He must be a Stalinist or even only a die hard soviet fan that was not liking Trotsky’s plan to globalize communism by mingling if you will with foreign newspapers, not to mention the fact that he was most probably bad mouthing Stalin to the whole world. As far as I know Trotsky also gave interviews to the Daily Express. The cartoon gives the impression of a mad man attempting to kill people with his pen, the pen which generally stands for the sword of writers, while working for the newspaper. As far as I know Trotsky wrote to several other foreign newspapers that would print his works.
