In 1917 Troky apparently gave up his differences with
Lenin and welcomed into the Communist Bolshevk
Party his services being used in spite of his very dangerous

death of Lenn the old menshevk deoogy of rotsy began
to show itself in dangerous ways The period of intense

presenday menshevsm of Trosky and the old menshcvsm
of the time before the revolution But this neomenshevm
of the rotskyte differs from the menshevism of the social
democrats only as the period of time is different.
1t is inevitable that in this period of imperialism and the
proletaran revolution when the comparative class forces
throughout the world such that the proaran revolution

groups of fresh types of menshevks should make their ap

foundation of the menshevism which today finds its
expression in Trotskysm.
Can these have faith in the Of the working class

Where will the support of this Trotskyst movement come

working class to do So
Meanwhile the theological pressure of the still upward
growing American mperast ogarchy creates revival of
Troskyism among weaker elements of the Workers Com
