Leon Trotsky: Letter to the Executive Committee, Communist League of France [Writing of Leon Trotsky, Vol. 13. Supplement (1929-1933), New York 1979, p. 89, title: “The French Discussion”] To the Executive Committee, Communist League of France Dear Comrades: I have received your theses and your internal bulletin. But despite all my sympathies for your efforts to get the League back on the right track, it is completely impossible for me to intervene in the discussion at the moment. I have to finish the second volume of the History, which I consider to be a certain contribution to the clarification of the situation in Spain as well as in Germany. Moreover, I believe that the League has paid so dearly for its mistakes in trade union policy that it will firmly reject any move toward backsliding. But since there have been no countertheses up till now, we must assume that there will not be any at all. I am delighted that Comrade R.M. is taking that trip. With his energy and devotion he will without doubt be a very great help to the comrades down there. As for Rosmer’s latest letter, I have nothing to say in reply. I can only note with regret that the attempts made during the past two years to seriously reintegrate him into the revolutionary movement have failed. There is nothing that can be done about it. We note the fact and move to the next point on the agenda. With best communist greetings, L. Trotsky |
