Trotsky left Europe for Mexico in 1937. Here he thanks president Cardenas for his hospitality so I am assuming it was not after his arrival. So I guess around the end of 1937 and beginning of 1938. His video is English, so obviously for an anglo-saxon audience (keep in mind English was not the universal language it is today). Seeing as he was planning to go to visit the US shortly before he died, it might also have been filmed closer to his death, maybe 1939. Anyway, good judgment.
It's actually incredibly easy to narrow this down. Trotsky mentions both the "Zinoviev-Kamenev trial" (August 1936) and the "Pyatakov-Radek trial" (January 1937). A commission; the "Dewey Commission';, was formed in March 1937. Because in this video Trotsky asks for the creation of a Commission, rather than referencing one, it stands that this video took place either between January 1937 and March 1937.

comrade, Trotsky was a good man, but, not perfect. To worship a man, is fundamentally against any doctrine from any true preacher of Communist ideals. Instead, you should focus upon the revolution at hand, the praxis we can deploy. Instead of worshipping Trotsky, READ Trotsky. Learn from him, but always remember he can be improved upon. Stay strong, comrade. And always remember to punch your local facist/stalinist.

Trotsky was a highly educated man. He spoke at least five or six languages. Prior to the Russian Revolution he traveled a good bit and spent time in several countries, including France.
The exact same thing would've happened as it did in real life, the only difference being the fact that Trotsky doesn't have Stalin's Red-Brown tendencies tbh.
I am an American, and I find no problem with his (in his own words) "very imperfect English." Most Americans, and probably most British people, can not speak English any better--or even as good. His speech naturally has an accent, but he is very clear. He speaks better than many of our American political leaders, and much better than our buffoonish former president, Donald Trump.
Trotsky, whose soul was saved by his fall from power and expulsion from the Soviet Union in 1929. Therefore he ended his life with much less blood on his hands than Stalin himself. He was also the ONLY Bolshevik founding father who admitted, shortly before his murder, that perhaps Communism might have been a failed ideology from the start.
Got no problem with Comrade Stalin. Of course we have to give thanks to Comrade Trotsky for creating the mighty Red Army. Comrade Stalin &Comrade Trotsky's falling out is really unfortunate. If only comrade Lenin had lived longer.
