The "Zimmerwald Left" was "Left" precisely because while it accepted the Manifesto as a copmpromise it was very critical of the Zimmerwald Manifesto's "pacifism" (it's rejection of "revolutionary defeatism"). The "telephone booth" phrase was that of Lenin. Luxemburg's position on the war, "The Junius Pamphlet," and Trotsky's "The War and the International," were both severely criticized by Lenin and Zinoviev (these criticisms, including the label "Kautskyist," were brought to the fore by Stalin and Zinoviev during the troika's campaign against "Trotskyism). See pp. 150ff of Broué's biography of Trotsky.
