To:   L. B. KAMENEV [1]

If you go deeper into the matter you will see that this
manoeuvring is precisely a concession to an alien clement,
namely, the “free trader”.

[1]
Lenin’s note is a reply to Kamenev, who proposed abstaining for
a period of two months from “forcing the pace in handing over
the whole business of supply ... to the state”. Kamenev wrote to
Lenin: “Don’t call it a concession, call it manoeuvring, and
admit that this is precisely the time to manoeuvre.”
