Lenin's testament

[Idealism]

he basically said he thought stalin should be removed from his position http://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1922/dec/testamnt/congress.htm
is this not true? marxists.org, to my knowledge, is a fairly accurate site
thoughts?

[LOLseph Stalin]

To be honest, Lenin didn't really want Stalin nor Trotsky to succeed him.

[Brother No. 1]

He "Thought" to take Stalin out. Besides Lenin didnt care much for Trosky either.
“Therein lies the fundamental difference between us and the liberals, whose talk about changes and reforms ‘pollutes’ the minds of the people. If we were to set forth in detail all the demands for the abolition of serf-ownership, we should fill whole volumes. That is why we mention only the more important forms and varieties of serfdom, and leave it to our committees in the various localities to draw up and advance their particular demands in development of the general programme. Trotsky’s remark to the effect that we cannot concern ourselves with local demand is wrong, for the question...is not only a local one.” -Lenin

See this thread (http://www.revleft.com/vb/lenins-and-trotskyists-t90312/index.html?t=90312) and I have a useful quick post (on the nature of the 'succession') here (http://www.revleft.com/vb/showpost.php?p=1342170&postcount=43). Do a search of the history forum as well, this topic comes up time and time again
