Well, I wouldn't say "indict," but yes, Lenin  was part of this Comintern
thing. Of course, he was also a little busy with a few other things, civil
war, imperialist intervention, economic collapse and famine, among them, and
was not in good health. Insofar as his *individual* contribution on the
"organization question" Louis has presented what I think is the most
relevant passage. NB what Lenin says about Russian *conditions*, i.e.,
organizational forms depend on  actual conditions, they do not flow from
first principles. Zinoviev, Kamenev and --yes-- Trotsky were the ones most
intimately involved with the international work. Trotsky's *main*
contribution was incessant meddling in the French section, the *overall*
effect of which, however right Trotsky may have been on each and every
political point raised, was to undercut its development.

So when I denounce "Cominternist Zinovievism" there are a whole series of
unindicted co-conspirators in there, and in the very front row, Lev
Davidovich.

Jose,
 Seems you leave out Lenin's' role in the building of the Third
International.
