The Editorial Board of the soon to appear "International Revue", 'Opposition',
ie L. Trotsky, sends its German adherents an article "What Does the 1st of August
Offer Us ?", that is dutifully published in "Fahne des Kommunismus",
number 25, and in which the master gives the pupils the following advice regarding the 1st
of August.
| "One must get the demonstration called off. The opposition must apply
all its forces in order to achieve this. One must call on all party organisations. The
demonstration was announced behind their backs." |
|
| Just how the demonstration should be linked to the present struggle tasks of the
working class Urbahns - exactly like the CC - does not say. Though on the one hand such
a relationship is shown between master Trotsky and his pupils, that the master, from his
high chair, hands down instructions that, with the best will, cannot be put into practice
by the pupils, yet on the other hand, a letter from A. Treint to Leon Trotsky (in the same
issue of "FdK"), gives a plainly alarming picture of how awfully a
pure sect-like relationship between master and pupils influences the pupils.
A few sentences from Treint's letter as proof :
| "It is time that a labour of clarification under the control of your authority
puts an end to a situation," etc "It is thus impossible to maintain this
contradiction any longer, the whole support of your great authority to sanction a group,
that ...."
"But then our group must ... receive without reservation the support of your
political authority ..."
"Comrade Trotsky, one also lies to you !"
"Comrade Trotsky, we have spoken to you clearly and openly. Tell us our faults and
errors." |
