Leon Trotsky: Letter to the National Committee, Communist League of America [Writing of Leon Trotsky, Vol. 4, 1932, New York 1973, p. 98, title: “International and National Questions”] To the National Committee, Communist League of America I am very glad you have taken a firm position on the international question. … On the internal dispute in the American League I do not as yet take a position because I have not had an opportunity to study the question with sufficient attentiveness. When I take a position I will try not to let myself be influenced in advance by the false and damaging position of Comrade Shachtman on all the international questions, almost without exception. On the other hand, however, it is not easy to assume that one can be correct on the most important national questions when one is always wrong on the most important international questions. |
