He agreed with the Left Communists that ultimately a pan-European Soviet revolution would solve all problems, but until then the Bolsheviks had to stay in power. Lenin did not mind prolonging the negotiating process for maximum propaganda effect, but, from January 1918 on, advocated signing a separate peace treaty if faced with a German ultimatum. Trotsky's position was between these two Bolshevik factions. Like Lenin, he admitted that the old Russian military, inherited from the monarchy and the Provisional Government and in advanced stages of decomposition, was unable to fight:<sup id="cite_ref-99" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-99"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>96<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712"></p><blockquote class="templatequote"><p>That we could no longer fight was perfectly clear to me and that the newly formed <a href="/wiki/Red_Guards_(Russia)" title="Red Guards (Russia)">Red Guard</a> and Red Army detachments were too small and poorly trained to resist the Germans.</p></blockquote> <p>But he agreed with the Left Communists that a separate peace treaty with an imperialist power would be a terrible morale and material blow to the Soviet government, negate all its military and political successes of 1917 and 1918, resurrect the notion that the Bolsheviks secretly allied with the German government, and cause an upsurge of internal resistance. He argued that any German ultimatum should be refused, and that this might well lead to an uprising in Germany, or at least inspire German soldiers to disobey their officers since any German offensive would be a naked land grab for territories. Trotsky wrote in 1925:<sup id="cite_ref-100" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-100"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>97<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1244412712"><blockquote class="templatequote"><p>We began peace negotiations in the hope of arousing the workmen's party of Germany and Austria-Hungary as well as of the Entente countries.

The first draft of the resolution was rejected by Trotsky, which led to the formation of a special group consisting of Stalin, Trotsky and Kamenev, which was charged with drafting a mutually acceptable compromise. On 5 December, the Politburo and the Central Control Commission unanimously adopted the group's final draft as its resolution. On 8 December, Trotsky published an open letter, in which he expounded on the recently adopted resolution's ideas. The <i>troika</i> used his letter as an excuse to launch a campaign against Trotsky, accusing him of factionalism, setting "the youth against the fundamental generation of old revolutionary Bolsheviks"<sup id="cite_ref-165" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-165"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>156<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> and other sins. </p><p>Trotsky defended his position in a series of seven letters which were collected as <i>The New Course</i> in January 1924.<sup id="cite_ref-166" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-166"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>157<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> The illusion of a "monolithic Bolshevik leadership" was thus shattered and a lively intra-Party discussion ensued, both in local Party organizations and in the pages of <i>Pravda</i>.

On the question of world revolution, Trotsky and Karl Radek saw a period of stability in Europe, while Stalin and Zinoviev confidently predicted an "acceleration" of revolution in Western Europe in 1924. On the theoretical plane, Trotsky remained committed to the Bolshevik idea that the Soviet Union could not create a true socialist society in the absence of the world revolution, while Stalin gradually came up with a policy of building "socialism in one country". These ideological divisions provided much of the intellectual basis for the political divide between Trotsky and the Left Opposition on the one hand, and Stalin and his allies on the other. </p><p>At the thirteenth Congress Kamenev and Zinoviev helped Stalin defuse Lenin's Testament, which belatedly came to the surface. But just after the congress, the <i>troika</i>, always an alliance of convenience, showed signs of weakness. Stalin began making poorly veiled accusations about Zinoviev and Kamenev. Yet in October 1924, Trotsky published <i><a href="/wiki/Lessons_of_October" title="Lessons of October">Lessons of October</a>,</i><sup id="cite_ref-174" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-174"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>164<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> a summary of the events of the 1917 revolution. He described Zinoviev and Kamenev's opposition to the Bolshevik seizure of power in 1917, something they would have preferred left unmentioned. This started a new round of intra-party struggle, which became known as the <i>Literary Discussion</i>, with Zinoviev and Kamenev again allied with Stalin against Trotsky. Their criticism of Trotsky was concentrated in three areas: </p> <ul><li>Trotsky's disagreements and conflicts with Lenin and the Bolsheviks prior to 1917.</li> <li>Trotsky's alleged distortion of the events of 1917 to emphasise his role and diminish the roles played by other Bolsheviks.</li> <li>Trotsky's harsh treatment of his subordinates and other alleged mistakes during the Civil War.</li></ul> <p>Trotsky was again sick and unable to respond while his opponents mobilised all their resources to denounce him. They succeeded in damaging his military reputation so much that he was forced to resign as People's Commissar of Army and Fleet Affairs and Chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council on 6 January 1925. Zinoviev demanded Trotsky's expulsion from the Communist Party, but Stalin refused to go along and played the role of a moderate. Trotsky kept his Politburo seat, but was effectively put on probation. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="A_year_in_the_wilderness_(1925)"><span id="A_year_in_the_wilderness_.281925.29"></span>A year in the wilderness (1925)</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Leon_Trotsky&amp;action=edit&amp;section=26" title="Edit section: A year in the wilderness (1925)"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Leon_Trotsky_and_Leonid_Serebryakov_attend_the_Congress_of_Soviets_of_the_Soviet_Union_May_1925.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/ff/Leon_Trotsky_and_Leonid_Serebryakov_attend_the_Congress_of_Soviets_of_the_Soviet_Union_May_1925.jpg/220px-Leon_Trotsky_and_Leonid_Serebryakov_attend_the_Congress_of_Soviets_of_the_Soviet_Union_May_1925.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="150" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/ff/Leon_Trotsky_and_Leonid_Serebryakov_attend_the_Congress_of_Soviets_of_the_Soviet_Union_May_1925.jpg/330px-Leon_Trotsky_and_Leonid_Serebryakov_attend_the_Congress_of_Soviets_of_the_Soviet_Union_May_1925.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/ff/Leon_Trotsky_and_Leonid_Serebryakov_attend_the_Congress_of_Soviets_of_the_Soviet_Union_May_1925.jpg/440px-Leon_Trotsky_and_Leonid_Serebryakov_attend_the_Congress_of_Soviets_of_the_Soviet_Union_May_1925.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1936" data-file-height="1324" /></a><figcaption>Leon Trotsky and <a href="/wiki/Leonid_Serebryakov" title="Leonid Serebryakov">Leonid Serebryakov</a> attend the <a href="/wiki/Congress_of_Soviets_of_the_Soviet_Union" title="Congress of Soviets of the Soviet Union">Congress of Soviets of the Soviet Union</a> in May 1925</figcaption></figure> <p>For Trotsky, 1925 was a difficult year.

After Krestinsky's ouster in March 1921, Vyacheslav Molotov became the senior secretary, but he lacked Krestinsky's authority, since he was not a full Politburo member. Stalin took over the position as senior secretary, which was formalized at the XIth Party Congress in April 1922, with Molotov becoming second secretary.</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-147"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-147">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text">It is not clear why Kamenev, a mild-mannered man with few leadership ambitions and who was the brother-in-law of Trotsky, sided with Zinoviev and Stalin against Trotsky in 1922.

The change was prompted by the need to allocate manpower quickly during the Civil War as well as by the transformation of the party from a small group of revolutionaries into the country's ruling party, with a corresponding increase in membership. New members included career seekers and former members of banned socialist parties, who were viewed with apprehension by Old Bolsheviks. To prevent a possible degeneration of the party, various membership requirements were instituted for party officials, and the ultimate power of appointment of local officials was reserved for the Secretariat of the Central Committee. This put enormous power in the general secretary's hands.</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-157"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-157">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text">Lenin's <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1922/dec/15.htm">letter</a> to Stalin dictated on 15 December 1922: "I am sure Trotsky will uphold my views as well as I."
