¨Leon Trotsky, of all people¨ He is obviously expressing surprise at who it was. Just because the person may have not been a role model or the brightest person in general, however, does not mean all of their ideas must be thrown out. If you disregarded the ideas of anyone who believed or did something you disagreed with, you´d only have yourself to look at.
