...lesser great men must be left behind? ", Ihe matter is clear when two facts are remembered: Trotsky represents the doctrine that the Soviet state must never cease to promote "The World Revolution of the World Proletariat, because, until that Revolution comes, Russia herself cannot attain a state of "pure" Lenin Communism, due to the machinations of non-Communist powers; 2) Stalin, on the other hand, holds that the Soviet state must temporarily cease to foment "World Revolution," in order to gain strength from friendly commerce with the non-Communist powers, and finally, when strong enough, press on with the "Revolution...

He has held himself up as the disciple and interpreter of Leninism; the men in power have regarded him as an upstart and a renegade. The difference is not merely political; behind all there lies an inscrutable 'tissue of venemous personal hatred. For the nonce, Trotsky is in the discard.
