There are two meanings that can be attacked to this sentence. 
 
MEANING ONE: 
 
"I am going to argue that Bukharin was right all along on issues of
economics during the transitional phase, but I don't want to be held
accountable for what I argue so remember that I never claimed that  he was
right; I only wrote that "perhaps" he was right." 
 
MEANING TWO: 
 
"Let's discuss whether Bukharin was right or not on economics during the
transitional phase." 
 
Meaning One is dishonest; Meaning Two requires that the focus of discourse
be on E. Preobrazhensky and Bukharin, not Bukharin, Lenin and Trotsly.
