These functionaries demanded “non-interference” on the part of Comrade Trotsky on the Southern front. But first of all, Comrade Trotsky exaggerates in an outrageous manner, and inflates the whole subject; for the Bolshevist Party has outlived these differences of opinion without being in the least shaken. The C.C. Lenin realised that because in Russia the working class was so small then the peasants also had to be part of the socialist revolution. Is this true? is to distort history in a reckless manner. The State Conference at the end of April only completed the work of the Petrograd conference in a measure appropriate to the State, gathering, by the united attitude of the Party, nine-tenths of the Party round itself. The latter resigned. plus representatives of the Petrograd committee plus representatives of the military organisation, of the factory committees of the trade unions, of the railwaymen. The revolution was mobilised, which brought about the mobilisation of the counter revolution. Marxism vs Leninism . resolved by a majority of 10 against 2 votes to proceed immediately with the practical work for the organisation of the insurrection. The facts say that the Russian SDLP split into factions, Lenin of course was a Bolshevik while Trotsky sided with the Mensheviks. Comrade Trotsky comes off no better when he “expounds” the attitude of the C.C. Fri 04 Apr 2008, 22:36 Could someone please explain to me the main differences between the following aspects of Maoist and Trotkyist Theory that seem somewhat similar to me 1. Trotskyism vs. Leninism « on: September 17, 2017, 10:17:54 pm » What's the difference? After Lenin’s death, one of the leading questions in Russia was the question of internationalism – should they follow the ‘international revolution’ policy or the ‘socialism in one country’ policy? pronounced against the revolt, but that just then a workman forced his way into the committee and said: “You have passed a resolution against the revolt, but I tell you that it will take place in spite of everything.” The C.C. There is, however, no doubt that this was the aim pursued by the Mensheviki and the social revolutionaries when they created the revolutionary parliament. Trotsky argued that the proletariat, upon achieving state power, would "be unable to contain itself" even generally to the historical tasks of the bourgeoisie and thus would inevitably need to press on to socialism upon the achievement of the basics of the democratic revolution, rather than more or less waiting around for another generation or … Trotskyism is, in the sphere of organisation, the theory of an association of revolutionaries and opportunists, of their groups and grouplets in the bosom of one united Party. The old Trotskyism made efforts to belittle Lenin more or less openly without fearing the consequences. Fundamental facts of this period: (a) The April demonstration in Petrograd and the formation of a Coalition Government with the participation of the “Socialists”; (b) the demonstration on May 1st in the most important centres of Russia with the slogan of the “democratic peace”; (c) the June demonstration in Petrograd with the chief slogan: ”Down with the capitalist ministers”; (d) the June offensive on the front and the failures of the Russian army; (e) the armed July demonstration in Petrograd and the resignation of the ministers of the Cadet party from the government; (f) the bringing up of counter-revolutionary troops from the front, the destruction of the editorial office of the Pravda, the fight for the counter-revolution against the Soviets and the formation of a new coalition government with Kerensky at its head: (g) the Sixth Party Session at which was given the slogan for the preparation of an armed insurrection; (h) the counterrevolutionary imperial council and the general strike in Moscow; (i) the unfortunate attack of Kornilov on Petrograd, the revival of the Soviets, resignation of the cadets and formation of the “directorium.”. But alas, Comrade Trotsky did not display such courage and such revolutionary steadfastness at this difficult moment. Only the history of Bolshevism in the whole period of its existence can satisfactorily explain how it could, under the most difficult conditions, work out and preserve the iron discipline which is necessary for the victory of the proletariat.” (See Lenin “Infantile Sickness.”) Bolshevism and Leninism are essentically one. It is no less important to hold fast to the power on the day after the revolution, than to seize it. But this theory has so utterly become a scandal, that one does not care to be even reminded of it. To resume: There were in the days of Kornilov’s advance, as a matter of fact, absolutely no differences of opinion in the C.C. You wish to know how our Party decided the question of the dissolution of the Constituent Assembly? The Communist Party of the Soviet Union - Leonard Shapiro. Granted, they say, but it cannot be denied that Comrade Trotsky fought well in the October period. Transcription/Markup: Brian Reid Leninism is an indivisible theory, which arose in the year 1903, has experienced three revolutions and now marches … Without this “operation” serious cooperation with Comrade Trotsky would have been impossible. In view of this it seems difficult to understand how it could happen that the Party escaped a split; how it could happen that, in spite of the differences of opinion, the comrades in question were placed by the Party at the most important posts, were elected to the political central committee of the insurrection, etc. Comrade Trotsky had no alternative than to recognise the fact of the uselessness of this theory. The left social revolutionaries did not fight badly in the October period when they supported the Bolsheviks. [3], 2. We must consider as one of these legends the wide-spread version that Comrade Trotsky was the “only” or the “chief organiser” of the victories at the fronts in the civil war. The period of the revolutionary mobilisation of the masses (May-August). and the Soviets will in due time make known the right moment and the suitable means for the insurrection.”. There are … We cannot regard it as an accident that the rise of the new Trotskyism coincided with the moment of Lenin’s death. The Party knows Lenin as a ruthless revolutionary. The fragile construction of the “contact commission” saw, its last days. Trotskyism needs this theory of the division of Leninism as a first, more or less “acceptable” step which should facilitate the subsequent steps in the fight against Leninism. Trotskyists oppose strongly "Stalinism" and its related ideologies. Trotsky sided with the former position, while Stalin sided with the latter. The fight of the proletariat has its trials, its defeats. Leninism and Stalinism. Kornilov’s advance showed that this decision was right. Playing next. Why does Comrade Trotsky want to drag the Party hack to new discussions? by Sandra Bloodworth. A significant problem we encounter when we engage with Trotskyism is the charge that any form of communism that accepts the basics of Leninism but that is not-Trotskyism is, ipso facto, “Stalinism”. Our Party is strong and powerful. Each one of them is related to another that makes it hard to make a difference between the two. Comrade Trotsky asserts that in the persons of Comrades Kamenev and Zinoviev, we had in October, a right-wing, almost a wing of Social-Democrats in our Party. But this lesson, as we have seen, has not agreed well with Trotskyism. (middle and end of April, 1917.). Leninism is the body of political theory, developed by and named after the Russian revolutionary and later Soviet premier Vladimir Lenin, ... Trotskyism vs. Stalinism. There are many reasons for the failure of Trotskist groups. (Source: Lenin, Collected Works, Vol. Deirdre Harms. This is not the way the history of October is written. The Question of Bolshevism. If Comrade Trotsky had not written in accordance with Suchanov’s information he would certainly have known that the demonstration of July 9th was postponed in complete agreement with Lenin and that Lenin defended the postponement in an important speech at the well-known meeting of the Petrograd Committee (see Minutes of the Petrograd Committee). “The C.C. The impression resulting is, that Lenin was the most bloodthirsty of all the bloodthirsty Bolsheviki. This is very clear in the early years of the revolutionary movement in Russia. This was an entirely mistaken policy; for it produced pacifist illusions, supplied water to the mills of social patriotism and rendered the revolutionary education of the masses difficult. This is all the more necessary because Comrade Trotsky in his eagerness to put himself in a conspicuous place, unintentionally misrepresents Lenin’s attitude towards the last two questions. Lenin and Trotsky created a government structure that Marx had never outlined, they just created it from necessity. in connection with the armed July demonstration. The resolution of the C.C. The question of the permanent revolution. Comrade Trotsky’s partisans vigorously spread rumours that the inaugurator and the only leader of the October revolution was Comrade Trotsky. Without such a general foundation, a split would have been inevitable. I will not enter into detail as to these theses, as they are known to everyone. In the interest of truth, comrades, I must declare that this version is absolutely contrary to the truth. Lenin subsequently admitted that the line taken by the Sixth Party Session had been the right one. Trotsky wanted a less absolute form or the state than Lenin. I have already mentioned the differences of opinion as regards the insurrection. A united and consolidated Party which stands in the centre of the revolutionary mobilisation of the masses, this is the picture of the situation of our Party at that period. Trotsky does not confine himself to this angry remark. inexactness? and the Sixth Party Session took a more cautious line and decided that there was no sufficient reason for thinking it impossible to revive the Soviets. declined Comrade Trotsky’s plan. This no doubt explains the fact that Comrade Trotsky sometimes entirely fails to hit the mark. The real difference was between Stalin and the other three in that Stalin created a totalitarian state of near genocide that none of the other three even came close to imagining. It is as though the revolution had hidden its acts of aggression under the cloak of defence so as to attract all the more easily the undecided elements into its sphere of influence. The C.C. did not agree with Comrade Trotsky and found that the Urals with their works, their network of railways, should not be left in Koltchak’s hands, because he could there easily bring his troops into order, collect large farmers round him and advance to the Volga, but that first of all Koltchak should be driven back over the ridge of the Urals into the Siberian steppes, and that only then should the transference of troops to the South be proceeded with. See Lenin’s Works, vol. There were. A QAnon congressperson has already drafted articles of impeachment against Joe Biden. Trotskyism is a distrust of the doings of the Bolshevist Party, of its unity, of its hostility to the opportunist elements. The point of the matter is that the old burden of Trotskyism, which was hidden away in a cupboard in the days of the October movement, has now been dragged to light in the hope of disposing of it, all the more so as the market here has widened. For Anarchists and some extremely foresighted observers, the "Kronstadt moment" actually was the Kronstadt uprising in 1921--when Trotsky suppressed the Red Sailors and Lenin restored capitalism. How is it to be explained that the Party escaped a split? As the characteristic feature of this period we must regard the rapid growth of the crisis, the complete confusion of the ruling circles, the isolation of the S.R. The characteristic feature of this period is the fact that side by side, concurrently and simultaneously, there exist both the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie and that of the proletariat and the peasantry, the latter showing confidence in the former, believing in its efforts for peace, voluntarily conferring the power on the bourgeoisie and thus turning itself into its appendage. It would, however, be wrong to take for granted, as does Comrade Trotsky, that the partisans of participation entered the Preliminary Parliament with the object of organic work, to “guide the Labour movement into the channel of social democracy.” This is quite wrong. but only our Soviet representative in Parliament, could not, of course, know that the C.C. Comrade Trotsky is simply using his. Were there at that time differences of opinion between the Party and Lenin? Many assumed that Trotsky would become the leader of the Communist Party after Lenin's death in 1924, but this wasn't to be. Trotsky Vs. Stalin. 1. The so-called editor of Trotsky’s works, Comrade Lenzner, maintains that the American letters of Comrade Trotsky (March) “completely anticipate” Lenin’s “Letters from Abroad” (March) which form the foundations of Lenin’s April theses. (Trotsky: “On Lenin,” p. 106, Russian edition.) Comrade Trotsky withdrew from immediate participation in the action on the Southern front. I know for instance that some of the Bolsheviki who were arrested were even ready to leave our ranks. This chiefly explains that passion with which Lenin, in his letters, scourges the adherents of the Preliminary Parliament. Marxism-Leninism-Maoism puts considerable emphasis on the idea of communism as a science of revolution and, as a science, it must continually transform in order to get better at revolution. What for instance is Comrade Trotsky’s “amiable” remark about Lenin worth, when he describes him as a “professional exploiter of every backwardness in the Russian workers’ movement?” (See the already quoted letter to Tscheidse). Trotskyists, claims itself to be the true Leninist theory. What are some views expressed by Lenin and Trotsky that were not Marxist? The real … What are some views expressed by Lenin and Trotsky that were not Marxist? After the July defeat, it is true, a difference of opinion did arise between the C.C. is said to have been alarmed by these threats, to have discussed anew the question of the revolt, and to have decided to organise it. To members of the petty bourgeoisie, such Suchanov, all this may appear strange, but the facts, the actual facts completely confirm my statement. We can hardly think so. We did not desire this literary discussion, nor did we strive for it. The Party knows Lenin as the greatest Marxist of our time, the profoundest theoretician and the most experienced revolutionary who was not guilty of even a shade of blanquism. And history says that our troops defeated these two enemies. The warning proved prophetic. There is no doubt that the differences of opinion as to the question of the Preliminary Parliament were of a serious nature. ), from this point of view.”. Trotskyism or Leninism - Q&A. Communism vs Leninism. But he gives us a picture not of but of some Chinese mandarin, who decides at random the most important questions in the silence of his study, as though he were illuminated by the Holy Spirit. First of all, as to the October revolution. How can this be reconciled with the opinion in general circulation as to the special part played by Comrade Trotsky? Serious conflicts between the two dictatorships had not yet arisen. Comrade Trotsky is entirely in the wrong when he speaks of the “tragic” differences of opinion within the C.C. From this it draws the following conclusion: the correct and acceptable features of Leninism are those which existed since the war, in the period of the October revolution, and on the other hand the incorrect and unacceptable features are those which existed before the war, before the October Revolution. Comrade Trotsky treats this side of the question also in his book. Anyone who knows the mechanism of the Party leadership of the Bolsheviki will understand without much difficulty, that it could not have been otherwise, for had Comrade Trotsky begun to act contrary to the will of the C.C., he would have been deprived of his influence on the course of things. I am far from denying the important part played by Comrade Trotsky in the civil war. only passed two resolutions altogether concerning the insurrection, one on the tenth, and one on the 16th of October. It is a form of Communism. Trotskyism, or those who follow Leon Trotsky (who led the opposition to Stalin’s reactionary policies after Lenin’s death in 1924) is actually a continuation of Marxism/Leninism, but many people use the word Trotskyism to distinguish themselves from the Stalinists. It was in the summer of 1919. Trotskyism consists of positions similar to Leninism, but differs with it in one key area: the mass basis of the proletarian state. We must take it for granted that the entertaining speeches about our Party belong to the usual peculiarities of Comrade Trotsky. Comrade Trotsky writes on the lessons of October but he forgets that in addition to all the other lessons there is one more lesson of October which I have just told you, and that this is of primary importance for Trotskyism. Trotskyists believe in a theory known as Permanent Revolution in opposition to Stalin's "theory of uneven development". “must have regarded the July episode as a harmful adventure.” Comrade Trotsky, who at that time was not yet a member of the C.C. The “steel ring” round Mamontov (the storming of Mamontov) was an obvious failure. In the subsequent criticism of this nonsense which is ascribed to Lenin, Trotsky “dances and plays” and finally ends with the condescending sentence: “This would have been a mistake.” Comrade Trotsky here tells a lie about Lenin; he misrepresents Lenin’s view as to the part of the Soviets in the insurrection. The counter revolution on the other hand fanned the flame of the revolution by intensifying the revolutionary conflagration. Firstly. Comrade Trotsky refers to a letter of Lenin’s to the C.C. There is not much difference between communism and Leninism. In practice this means the Marxian critique of Capitalism, Historical Materialism, and the concept of class struggle, plus the desire for a socialist society based on state ownership and workers' control, ultimately to a communist society in which the state will be rendered unnecessary. It is foolish and ridiculous to endeavour by gossiping about illegality to erase that indubitable fact that the leader of the Party, V. I. Lenin, was the instigator of the revolution. This was the greatest change in the history of Russia and a hitherto unexperienced turn in the history of our Party. There is no doubt that the open going over of the garrison to the revolutionary military committee and the organisation of the network of Soviet commissioners indicated the beginning of the insurrection; nevertheless these steps were taken under the slogan of the defence of the Petrograd Soviets against possible attacks of the counter-revolution. As a noun socialism is any of various economic and political philosophies that support social equality, collective decision-making, distribution of income based on contribution and public ownership of productive capital and natural resources, as advocated by socialists. We might, therefore, pass over these rumours, for indeed, many unfounded and silly rumours are manufactured in the studies of persons in opposition or not connected with the Party. Please credit “Marxists Internet Archive” as your source. attempt to prepare the conditions for replacing Leninism by Trotskyism. Trotskyism is a see also of socialism. Maoism Vs Trotskyism: heiss93 [+-] Soviet cogitations: 831 Defected to the U.S.S.R.: Mon 28 Jan 2008, 19:10 Ideology: Marxism-Leninism Komsomol. A living and powerful Party, at the head of the revolutionary masses, who storm and overthrow the bourgeois power, this is the condition of our Party at that period. One of the two main branches of Leninism; developed upon by Leon Trotsky, co-leader of the Russian Revolution and founder of the Red Army. We could quote a heap of documents which prove that Lenin proposed the seizure of power by the Soviets, by those of Petrograd or Moscow, and not behind the back of the Soviets. imagination when he assumes that some members of the leading group of the C.C. This double-faced policy was calculated to convince the Soviets through the concrete questions of peace of the genuinely imperialistic nature of the Provisional Government, and thus to tear them away from the latter. was faced by a split on the question of the insurrection. It is quite possible that some of the Bolsheviki actually pulled long faces in connection with the July defeat. Report. 2. Altogether it must be said that it is not difficult to fight bravely in a period of victorious insurrection, when the enemy is isolated and the insurrection is growing. It looks as though the C.C. It is surely impossible that we have no stalwart Communists.”. In Comrade Trotsky’s opinion, the chief lesson of the proletarian revolution of October is “not to run off the rails.” This is wrong, for the assertion of Comrade Trotsky contains only a small part of the truth as to the lessons of the revolution. How do you think about the answers? It is indeed somewhat “strange” as Suchanov or Comrade Trotsky’s adherents would say. Trotskyism was to become the primary theoretical target of Stalinism In a conformity of views as to the fundamental questions, the questions as to the character of the Russian revolution, as to the driving force of the revolution, the role of the peasants, the principles of party leadership, etc. Thirdly, Trotskyism is a mistrust of the leaders of Bolshevism, an attempt to discredit and dethrone them. It is rather amusing to hear these strange statements of Comrade Trotsky about the Party, who in the same “preface” to Volume III. [At the Plenary Meeting of the Communist Section of the Central Trade Union Council on November 19th, 1924.]. The question to be discussed is the situation at the tune and the insurrection. Why did Comrade Trotsky need this unnecessary and in no way justified laying on of colour? The affair took place in Autumn, 1919. It seems, therefore, perfectly clear that the C.C.
