What was a basic belief of Leon Trotsky concerning the relationship of trade unions and the Soviet government?
As early as 1920, Leon Trotsky stood firm on his belief that trade unions and the Soviet government could have conflicting interests. With that being the case as far as Trotsky was concerned, the trade unions needed to be educated on this crucial point. Trotsky saw the problems that workers were having with the Soviet government and to help solve them, he proposed a "shake up" so to speak of unions and union members who disagreed with Trotsky. Here we see how the early beliefs of Trotsky were changed once he and the Bolsheviks came into power. Early on in his career, he pushed for the protection of the workers' trade unions. Later, once in power he reversed his position. In exile, he reverted to his original idea about government suppression of the workers.
