"The Draft Program of the Communist International: A Criticism of Fundamentals" is a seminal theoretical work by Leon Trotsky, written as a rigorous critique of the program presented to the Sixth World Congress of the Communist International in 1928. This work stands as one of the most significant documents in the history of Marxist theory, serving as the platform for the International Left Opposition. Trotsky provides a detailed analysis of the shift in Comintern policy, specifically challenging the doctrine of "Socialism in One Country" and arguing for the necessity of a permanent, internationalist approach to the proletarian revolution.

The text examines the strategic and tactical problems facing the global communist movement during the late 1920s, dissecting what Trotsky viewed as the bureaucratic and nationalistic deviations of the Soviet leadership under Stalin. By addressing the fundamental principles of historical materialism and the nature of the imperialist epoch, the work offers a defense of the original internationalist foundations of Bolshevism. Including an introduction by James P. Cannon, this volume is an essential primary source for understanding the ideological schisms that defined the 20th-century socialist movement and remains a vital study in political strategy and revolutionary critique.
