He's been usurped by the paranoid crazies in the neocon movement and is alive and well in the civilian ranks of Likudniks currently in control of the Pentagon.

Calling them "paranoid crazies" is a bit hyperbolic. They're not crazy, but they do have a grandiose vision of how the world ought to be. And they apparently harbor no doubt about the wisdom of trying to implement that vision, grabbing the American military as their instrument. Trotsky only dreamed of permanent revolution, this bunch is giving the idea a go.

Leo Strauss wrote impenetrable books on Platonic philosophy. Apparently he did have some theory of esoteric language, where speech designed for the public contained hidden meaning for the ruling elite. But I'm not aware of any connection between him and Trotsky's ideas.
