	Specifically where could I find an elaboration on this concept, as
it has always seemed to me as though Trotsky lived essentially in a chasm
where he would attack Lenin's concept of the vanguard, as he had done in
his youth, while simultaneously defending his role in the Bolshevik party. I
would'nt be surprised to hear Trotsky call himself a Bolshevik, but a
Leninist?
