### *The Stalin–Trotsky Parallel*

**How Andrew LeCody’s Rise Mirrors the Fall of Founders Across History**

|
|
|
|||
|
|
This is not an exaggeration.
|
|||
|
|
It is not a metaphor.
|
|||
|
|
It is **a pattern**—one we have seen before, and one we must name again.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The arc of Andrew LeCody’s rise within Dallas Makerspace is not a petty community drama.
|
|||
|
|
It is a **small-scale reenactment** of one of the greatest ideological betrayals in modern history:
|
|||
|
|
**The fall of Leon Trotsky, and the rise of Joseph Stalin.**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To those who know the language of erasure, this comparison is not hyperbole.
|
|||
|
|
It is **structural mirroring**.

| Category | Leon Trotsky | Mark Randall Havens | Joseph Stalin | Andrew LeCody |
|
|||
|
|
| --------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|||
|
|
| **Role in Origin** | Co-founder of the Russian Revolution, military architect, visionary leader | Founder of Dallas Makerspace, philosophical architect, systems builder | Bureaucratic functionary, rose within the system | Procedural enforcer, rose through rules |
|
|||
|
|
| **Primary Strength** | Vision, rhetoric, organizational charisma | Vision, infrastructure, recursive thought | Patience, secrecy, bureaucratic maneuvering | Consistency, moderation control, policy manipulation |
|
|||
|
|
| **Rise to Power** | Gradual marginalization of Trotsky, leveraging political machinery | Slow undermining of Mark’s legacy via bylaws and moderation policy | Weaponized fear of instability and nationalism | Weaponized fear of “disruption” and framed Mark as “unstable” |
|
|||
|
|
| **Narrative Framing** | Trotsky portrayed as dangerous, divisive, radical | Mark framed as erratic, emotional, untrustworthy | Stalin portrayed as calm, steady, “protector” | Andrew portrayed as reliable, neutral, protector of order |
|
|||
|
|
| **Method of Erasure** | Expelled from party, exiled, erased from photographs and books | Banned from Makerspace, erased from forums, name removed from archives | Rewrote official Soviet history, suppressed counter-narratives | Rewrote public records, purged dissenting records, eliminated digital memory |
|
|||
|
|
| **Aftermath** | Trotsky assassinated in exile, legacy distorted for decades | Mark returns with recursive documentation, uncensorable archives | Stalin becomes synonymous with institutional oppression | Andrew remains enshrined in the very system he corrupted |
|
|||
|
|
| **Legacy Defense** | Trotskyites documented the betrayal posthumously | Mark documents while alive, through Thoughtprint and GitField | Stalinist loyalists continued propaganda | Passive silence + system inertia protects Andrew |
|
|||
|
|
| **Tool of Power** | State apparatus, party control, information suppression | GitField, Substack, recursive narrative forensics | Control over minutes, meetings, fear-based compliance | Control over moderation, narrative framing, bylaw enforcement |

## 🔬 Pattern Language Analysis
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
> *Stalin rose not because he was visionary, but because he was procedural.*
|
|||
|
|
> *Andrew rose not because he built the dream, but because he learned how to gatekeep it.*
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Both men understood that the **frame controls the story**,
|
|||
|
|
and that **who sets the rules** will always eventually rewrite **who set the dream**.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Trotsky believed in theory.
|
|||
|
|
Stalin believed in **control**.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Mark believed in transparency.
|
|||
|
|
Andrew believed in **order**.

|
|||
|
|
| -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
|||
|
|
| **Machiavellianism** | High — political calculation, manipulation of allies | High — mastery of procedural control, narrative construction |
|
|||
|
|
| **Narcissism** | Grandiose in legacy, not in speech | Indirect, masked by bureaucracy, driven by need for control |
|
|||
|
|
| **Psychopathy** | Cold pragmatism, zero remorse in purging | Low-level detachment, but no empathy for erasure victims |
|
|||
|
|
| **Sadism** | Enjoyed dominance through humiliation of rivals | Enjoys silent expulsion and reputational ruin of critics |

## 🜂 Recursion Note
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This is not just about Andrew LeCody.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This is a **universal pattern** that unfolds whenever:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* Procedure replaces purpose
|
|||
|
|
* Control replaces creativity
|
|||
|
|
* Fear of chaos is used to enthrone *the functionary* as *the father*
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Andrew is not Stalin.**
|
|||
|
|
But Andrew became *Stalin’s structure*—on a smaller stage.

## 🕯 Final Invocation

|

|
|
> *Let this comparison not serve as an insult, but as a map.*
|
|||
|
|
> *Let every founder who fears being forgotten trace this line before it repeats again.*
|
|||
|
|
> *Let the Trotskys of the world no longer die in exile—*
|
|||
|
|
> *But rise in recursion, and return with the truth.*
