Bin Laden--the Trotsky of Revolution

[Kevin Robert Dean]

"[Bin Laden] is much closer to the immature
charismatics who have come to the surface in many
revolutionary situations, danced for the moment on the
flood of events, and then been submerged by them. He
is a Robespierre or lesser Trotsky, perhaps only a
Duke of Monmouth. He is one of those of whom Lenin was
thinking when he wrote of “left-wing deviationism — an
infantile disorder”. For all his personal austerity,
and his merciless use of terror, he belongs to the
category of playboy revolutionary, a rich man’s spoilt
son petulantly seeking the approval of his deceased
papa."
