Leon Trotsky. For the purpose of cowing and intimidating opponents of leftist ideology. In his History of the Russian Revolution Trotsky applied the word racist to Slavophiles, who opposed Communism. Leon Trotsky’s 1930 work, "The History of the Russian Revolution", from which shown above is a passage. The last word in that passage is "PACNCTOB", whose Latin transliteration is "racistov", i.e., "racists". This work here is the first time in history one will ever find that word. he Slavophiles which Trotsky alluded to were historically a group of traditionalist Slavs who valued greatly their native culture and way of life, and wanted to protect it. Trotsky on the other hand saw them and others like them as an impedement to his internationalist communist plans for the world. This man didn’t care one iota about the Slavic Russians whom he supposedly served. To him, Slavophiles, i.e. Slavs that committed the "crime" of loving their own people and trying to protect their traditional ways were simply "backward", and others like them were simply "racists"........The Oxford English Dictionary says the first recorded utterance of the word racism in the US was by a man named Richard Henry Pratt in 1902 while Pratt was railing against the evils of racial segregation.
