Stalinism

Stalinism is a totalitarian, economically far-left ideology inhabiting the top left corner of the political compass. His cultural views are debatable, with some detractors accusing him of being culturally conservative and others accusing of being progressive.

He believes in rapid Industrialization, socialist commodity production,  Socialism  in one country, a   Totalitarian state, collectivization of agriculture, cult of personality.

Reign in Power
Joseph Stalin reigned to power in the Soviet Union in January 1924, 2 years after the Soviet Union is officially established in December 30, 1922 and after Vladimir Lenin's death.

Leadership
During his leadership, he industrialized the country, making the Soviet Union one of the top industrial superpowers in history. His plans for the development of the Soviet Union is forcing the collectivization of agriculture. Millions of farmers in the Soviet Union opposed to his ideas of accepting the rules of Joseph Stalin are sent to exile or either killed.

Totalitarianism
Stalin became more totalitarian in an attempt to eliminate his political enemies and anyone else opposing him. He also encouraged the citizens to spy on each other. Millions of people where sent to prison camps called Gulags or were either killed. During the 1930s, Stalin initiated the Great Purge, which are a series of campaigns in an attempt to eliminate those in the Communist Party, military and everyone else from he considered to be an enemy to him.

Censorship
He has rewritten history to make himself more prominent in the Russian Revolution and to mythologize his points of life. He censored photographs as part in rewriting history, removing associates formerly in part with the government, executed during his purges.

World War 2
In 1939, Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin declared war and split Poland, starting World War 2. Both Hitler and Stalin signed an NAP to not attack each other. That is, until June of 1941, when Hitler declared war on the Soviet Union, breaking the NAP between them. Hitler was winning on every front, encircling Soviet cities on their way and was close to Moscow. When Winter came, it gave Stalin an advantage, pushed back the German armies, liberating their cities and eventually captured Berlin. It was a victory for Stalin and the allies.

Post War Era
After the war, both relations between the Allies and Stalin soured due to their political differences. Stalin set up communist states in the east and the allies founded an alliance called NATO against the spread of  communism and Stalin's regime in the Soviet Union in 1949.

Death
On March 1, 1953, Joseph Stalin died from a brain hemorrhage. Doctors were afraid to treat his brain hemorrhage from how many people he killed during his leadership. Nikita Khrushchev took Stalin's position as leader of the Soviet Union.

Doctrine
Economically speaking, Stalinism is far-left, with strong emphasis on state socialism but unlike his predecessors, he prioritizes on fixing his own country instead of quickly trying to spread Marxist socialism across the world. Culturally speaking, Stalinism is considered by many detractors to be culturally conservative due to his opposition to LGBT rights, views on gender roles and nationalism. However, others dispute this and point out that only brought back the orthodox churches because many Soviet citizens remained secretly religious (which was not directly forbidden), so the “legalization” of Orthodoxy helped to keep the nation at war united – quite a crucial thing. Second, the Allies were pushing Stalin towards loosening his grip on the religious: the oppression of the faithful was bad publicity. They also point out his many campaigns against reactionary kulaks and fascists as evidence for his cultural progressiveness. Even his opposition to LGBT rights could be interpreted as being culturally left as he believed LGBT issues to be a bourgeois agenda and held deep suspicion that many fascists were homosexuals.

Personality and Behavior
Acts like a stereotypical Soviet era politician often sending people to the gulag.
