A Letter to Prometeo, Published January 1, 1933
| Author(s) | Leon Trotsky |
|---|---|
| Written | 1 January 1933 |
You know my opinion on the question of relations between your group and the International Left Opposition. Events have shown that unity between us would be nothing but a mistake on both our parts. By the logic of events it has become a pure fiction. Sustaining fictions is not revolutionary politics. It is necessary for us to separate in order to clear up the situation. Separation from an honest revolutionary group like yours need not necessarily be accompanied by animosity, personal attacks, or veiled criticism. I hope on the contrary that by eliminating organizational frictions, the inevitable result of fictitious unity, we shall be able to create favorable conditions by mutual criticism based on the lessons of events. That at least is the conclusion I draw as of today from the experience of these last years.
My best communist greetings,
L. Trotsky
