Breton was obviously the driving force behind surrealism, and he ran the movement in a dictatorial style, even expelling several of its members. Several of these ex-members started adhering to Georges Bataille's subversive "Bataillean" surrealism and the latter's journal Documents.
Breton calls Bataille an "excrement-philosopher" (philosophe-excrément) in the Second Surrealist Manifesto.
