Trotsky wouldn't have dared to betray the revolution if he was a eunuch, same with Tukhachevsky, Bukharin, Zinoviev and so on. I feel like this is a fool proof way of preventing counter revolution

Every court needs it's scheming eunuch, it's doddering old king, it's indolent heir, it's ambitious guard captain, it's power broker soon-to-be dowager queen, and it's fucking stupid cousin or nephew who ends up king when everyone else kills each other.
