Brezhney greets Castro arriving in the USSR Trotskyism, an adventurist, anti-Soviet, anti-party, anticommunist ideological and political current, originates from the activities of Leon Bronstein and his followers during the period of struggles within the old Russian Social-Democratic Workers' Party and the period after the proletariat took power and started build the first socialist state in history...

• Trotsky and his followers rejected the possibility of building socialism in the Soviet Union and did not believe in the worker-peasant alliance.

Like counterfeiters, they are experts. quoting fragments from Lenin attempt to gain prosThe "left-wing" orientation of the Trotskyists who go around prescribing adventurism leads to the isolation of the forces of the national liberation movement ...

•.. Contemporary Trotskyists have established the tactic of going into parties and mass organisations, dissimulating the fact that they are Trotskyists so as to later dig away at those organisations from within and impose their own ideas. -In fact this tactic is not new since it had been recommended by Trotsky himself.

This clandestine work on the part of the Trotskyists is not the same as that of the revolutionaries; it is ideological subversion within the ranks of revolutionaries.
