Lenin TO THE C.C., R.C.P.

TO THE C.C., R.C.P.

Comrade Trotsky is mistaken: here there are neither whims, nor mischief, nor caprice, nor confusion, nor des- peration, nor any “element” of these pleasant qualities (which Trotsky castigates with such terrible irony).246 What there is, is what Trotsky overlooked, namely, that the majority of the C.C. is convinced that General Head- quarters is a “den”, that all is not well at Headquarters, and in seeking a serious improvement, in seeking ways for a radical change it has taken a definite step. That is all.
