I quoted Lenin on Trotsky; Gandall asserts without evidence. He also tries to sweep away Lenin before WW One. He cannot look a material reason why the Bolsheviks approved Trotsky's membership in 1917: every possible force had to be assembled to help October succeed. We can as well judge that Lenin knew this and kept silent on some things, as to conjure up mutual "deep respect." The quotes from Lenin about factionalism by Trotsky are obviously relevant in a thread that has discussed democratic centralism. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
