Leninâs note is a reply to Kamenev, who proposed abstaining for a period of two months from âforcing the pace in handing over the whole business of supply ... to the stateâ. Kamenev wrote to Lenin: âDonât call it a concession, call it manoeuvring, and admit that this is precisely the time to manoeuvre.â
If you go deeper into the matter you will see that this manoeuvring is precisely a concession to an alien clement, namely, the âfree traderâ.
