Stalinism

Stalinism is an authoritarian, culturally left, economically far-left ideology occupying the upper left corner of the political compass. He believes in rapid, socialist commodity production,    and collectivization of agriculture. A cult of personality was established under his rule, but Stalin expressed his personal distaste and resisted the cult multiple times.

History
Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin (born Ioseb Besarionis dze Jughashvili) was an ethnic Georgian Bolshevik member of the USSR who rose to power due to the promotion of Lenin of him as the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). After he came to power, he won the power struggle against the left dissents and right dissents (.

Shortly after coming to power, Stalin declared the end of Lenin’s  and enacted the.

During the Period of collectivization, resistance from the kulaks (whose land was being confiscated), such as burning of crops, and bad weather conditions, endured a famine, that lead to a lot of pain and suffering in the USSR.

Stalin, during 1939, enacted a neutrality pact with Nazi Germany, to give time for the USSR to prepare troops. They invaded parts of Poland, as a way to stop Nazi Germany from taking it. After 1941, when Nazi Germany violated the treaty, the USSR managed to go into war, and eventually, manged to defeat it. In the process, it freed much of Eastern Europe from fascism and helped communist movements in the area take power.

Stalin died in 1953 and his successor started to gradually move away from his influence. gave a secret speech in 1956, marking the first wave of De-Stalinization. Though the shadow of Stalinism on Soviet politics would not diminish before the second wave of De-Stalinization, carried by the reformist-minded.

Stalin is renowned by his supporters, as a great military and political leader, who helped build socialism in the USSR, and sustain the dictatorship of the proletariat, but renounced by his critics, as a totalitarian ‘genocidal’ tyrant.

Doctrine
Economically speaking, Stalinism is far-left. Stalinism is culturally left. Stalinism is a development of Leninism, his main theoretical beliefs are Socialism in one country (until 1939), Aggravation of the class struggle under Socialism, and Socialist commodity production. Although he does believe in the final goal of Communism (stateless, moneyless, classless, etc), he believes that a worker's state is needed to progress toward it. He believes industrialization is needed so that the Socialist state won't get crushed by foreign powers and believes that the Kulaks are enemies of the Revolution, which is why Collectivization is needed, however, he does believe that small peasants are friends of the Revolution. He believes enemies of the people need to be purged so that Socialism can be preserved.

[[File:Neostalin.png]] Neo-Stalinism
Neo-Stalinism, is an ideology used to represent the followers of Stalin in the modern age. It is an anti-revisionist ideology, influenced from Hoxhaism.

As it is a modern-day ideology, It is progressive in its social views, usually in favour of issues like feminism or gay rights and argues that Stalin was progressive too.

Contrary to the belief of many people, figures such as Brezhnev and Kim Jong-il were not supported by most Neo-Stalinists, despite using aesthetics and methods originating in the Stalinist area, their economics and general political system is viewed as revisionist by most neo-Stalinists who derive a lot of their work from Hoxha.

He is stereotyped as being someone who would be willing to deny and defend the actions of Stalin such as gulags, purges of his political enemies, forced deportations of “the enemies of the state”, famines as a result of mismanagement of resources, and Lysenkoism, which people who are opposed to Stalin would consider abhorrent, to defend.

Because this bastard forgot how I and Lenin supported him all the way for his Northern Expedition Campaign with military experts and aid! But I saved him from the Xi’an coup and backed him against Japan at the beginning of the Sino-Japanese War. But still, I only did it to let Mao enter Manchuria later and funded the CCP with massive aid support and Japanese weapons. I still tried to help negotiate a peace agreement between the communists and the nationalists to divide China to give him a lifeline when the nationalists were losing the war, though.
 * [[File:Progress.png]] - The USSR was a very progressive nation, for its time. However most of your western followers denounce me as ‘totalitarian’ and ‘conservative.
