Victor Serge's Crisis
Dear Comrade:
Your letter, while very friendly in a personal sense, demonstrates to me anew that you are passing through a protracted ideological crisis and that you are turning your dissatisfaction with yourself into dissatisfaction with others. You write about intrigues, false information, etc. I donât know about any of that. I know only your writings and your actions. Against the Fourth International you support everybody âsupportable.â This demonstrates that politically your solidarity with us is much weaker than your antagonism. After the inevitable setbacks to your politics, which for my own usage I call individualistic and even, permit me the word, adventuristic, you ought to change your way of doing things. I do not lose the hope of seeing you return to the road of the Fourth International. But at present you are an adversary, and a hostile one at that, who demands nonetheless to be treated as a political friend.
My best regards,
