What were the initial arguments posed by Leon Trotsky on the Bolshevik Party?
Leon Trotsky was a valid Marxist until the time came to throw his support to the Bolsheviks. As a Menshevik, he made it clear that Lenin had created an organization which incorrectly led the Party as a whole. Trotsky's foresight was remarkable. Later, the Central Committee of the "organization" takes control of the movement. And finally, Lenin or another dictator becomes, in essence the Central Committee. Trotsky's vision was remarkable and of course it all came to pass as he foresaw it would. For the sake of the movement, clearly the Menscheviks understood the situation.

How did Leon Trotsky react to the downfall of the German Communist Party?
Leon Trotsky did believe that Karl Marx was correct in assumption that England or Germany were the most likely places for the first communist party. He also believed that the Soviet Union would need the help of another advanced communist nation, such as at least one of the two previously mentioned.When the Nazi Party gained power in Germany, it ended the existence of the German Communist Party. For Trotsky, the defeat of the German "proletariat" ( Trotsky preferred to use this term instead of the word "Party" for political purposes for reasons seen later ) was the most important event since the Bolshevik revolution in 1917. Trotsky did not blame the power of Hitler for this, but instead placed the blame for it on the leadership of the German Communist Party. Trotsky continued to spread blame around for the German problem. He was critical of Pravda for not speaking about it and Pravda saw blame within the Presidium of the Executive Committee of the Communist International. As Trotsky expected, the International took its time to form an opinion. And, decided to place the blame on the Nazi coup d'etat. This of course was not entirely true, as far as Trotsky was concerned. He remain convinced, that the German Party had every chance to destroy fascism but failed, despite all the leverage he believed the Party in Germany had.

Why did Leon Trotsky lose the the leadership contest?
There were several reasons. Trostsky was a late convert to Bolshevism and was not trusted by many of the old Bolsheviks. many old Bolsheviks considered Trotsky to be too much of an intellectual for their liking. Many disliked him for being Jewish despite the fact that many Bolsheviks were themselves Jewish. Grigori Zinoviev, himself a Jew, hated Trotsky so much he joined with Stalin and Lev Kamenev (also Jewish) to form a three party ruling block to oust Trotsky from power. Another reason is that Stalin, as General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party as well as Commissar of other departments in government held the loyalty of many people he had installed in government and party positions. Trotsky had few allies in power.
