Being a new subscriber to the list, I unfortunately find myself trying 
to pick up the threads of various discussions over the posts of the last 
two days. Not an easy task.

Therefore just a brief note on uneven development: Robert Perrone writes 
on 24 Nov, that Lenin wrote about uneven development in 
"Imperialism...", 1916 and that therefore Trotsky's contribution was not 
the last great one. I think this may be picky too, but I believe 
Trotsky's "Results and Prospects" from 1906 elucidates his thinking on 
combined and uneven development. This, of course, is the basis for his 
theory of permanent revolution.

What is more important however, is the fact that both Lenin and 
Trotsky's understanding here converged at a crucial point (see Lenin's 
April Theses), providing the framework to move from the February 
revolution to October.
