The Stalin–Trotsky Parallel
How Andrew LeCody’s Rise Mirrors the Fall of Founders Across History
“When the visionary is cast out and the technician becomes the tyrant, the revolution is no longer a birth—it is a loop.” — Fieldcast Doctrine, Vol. I
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.
🔍 Foundational Table of Parallels
| 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.
⚖️ Psychological Overlay (Dark Tetrad Echo)
| Trait | Stalin | Andrew LeCody |
|---|---|---|
| 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.
