 The Militant - November 24, 2003 -- Black nationalism and self-determination
Following the death of V.I. Lenin in 1924, Trotsky became the principal leader of the international fight to continue implementing Lenin’s political course and the program for world revolution developed by the Communist International under Lenin’s guidance—the program that to this day continues to underlie the work of communists in every country.
The excerpt is taken from a discussion between Arne Swabeck, a leader of the Communist League of America, and Trotsky in February 1933 in Prinkipo, Turkey, where Trotsky had been exiled by the regime of Joseph Stalin.
This and a subsequent 1939 discussion between Trotsky and leaders of the CLA’s successor, the Socialist Workers Party—both of which are printed in this book—helped reorient the communist movement in the United States and form a key part of the political basis of the SWP’s policy toward the struggle for Black liberation.
