Thank you comrade for clearing that up....however, if anyone was an opportunist it was Stalin or even Lenin....if Trotsky was an 'opportunist' as you suggest....he would have replaced Lenin in 1924 but the fact that Trotsky was so easily out maneuvered by Stalin tell us something. Trotsky was in many ways too clever for his own good and could be heavy handed. Yes he was a menchavik [had I been round then...I would have been one too] and he felt he had to change too...and won the trust of Lenin....Yes Trotsky was a revisionist but such is the nature of
history....I find his writing analytical and instructive.Good luck in your search for a 'socialist' steel frame.

I have read many of his works and also works done by Lenin, Stalin, Marx, Mao... I'm not a Stalinist as such, I believe he did good and bad. I do think Trotsky was an opportunist and largely revisionist.
The comment was a bit tongue in cheek.
All the best comrade.
