Stalinism

Stalinism is a totalitarian, culturally variable, economically far-left ideology occupying the upper left corner of the political compass. (however, Stalin's personal views shifted towards right-leaning cultural views during his tenure) The cultural views of Stalinism are controversial, some detractors accuse him of being culturally conservative, while many of his supporters praise him of being  progressive (like ML, many modern adherents are  socially progressive, but the others are  culturally conservative).

He believes in rapid industrialization, socialist commodity production,  socialism in one country (until 1939), a   totalitarian state, and collectivization of agriculture. A cult of personality was established under his rule, but expressed his personal distaste and resisted the cult for multiple times.

Doctrine
Economically speaking, Stalinism is far-left. Stalinism is culturally variable, some consider him culturally conservative and some culturally progressive. 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 strong state is needed to progress toward it. He believes industrialization is needed so that the Socialist state won't get crashed by foreign powers, and believes that the Kulaks are enemies of the Revolution, which is why Collectivization is needed, however he does believe that middle and 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
Some scholars describe Leonid Brezhnev's rule as Neo-Stalinism since the methods used under the Stalin administration such as mass arrests, closed courts, etc were common under Brezhnev.

The term is also used to describe the system of the countries that in many ways resembled the political system of the USSR under Stalin. As an example, the dictatorships of Mao Zedong in  China,  Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il in  North Korea,  Hồ Chí Minh in Vietnam,  Enver Hoxha in  Albania and to political parties that idealize a similar political system.

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

How to Draw
Stalin_flag.svg The symbol used for Stalinism in the polcompball is the symbol of the Worker's and Peasants' Red Army, more famously known as just The Red Army which was a military force led by Joseph Stalin through much of its existance.


 * 1) Draw a ball.
 * 2) Fill it with red (preferably CC0000).
 * 3) Draw a golden hammer and sickle inside of a star (feel free to make the red inside the star darker, to mimic the USSR military badge).
 * 4) Draw Stalin's military cap
 * 5) Add eyes.

And you're done!

 * [[File: Nazi.png]] National Socialism (pre-1941) - Can't be bored with him, I love getting ahead of you when we sign pacts. Your Aryan supremacy schtick is very cringe though, you are still pretty much a filthy fashie. Also, you aren't nationalist, if you had focused on assembling and uniting the German lands, it was possible to call you nationalist, but after you enslaved foreign nations, you became imperialist. Unlike my totally justified enforcement of soverign nations becoming my satellite states.
 * [[File: Showa-kanmuri.png]] Showa Statism - Same as above but we unfortunately haven't had as much interaction. That being said, I'll fuck you up if you fuck with my borders.

 * [[File:FDRismF.png]] Rooseveltanism - Thanks for the lend lease 'velt, but I'm afraid our little alliance ends here.
 * [[File:Gay.png]] LGBTQ Communists - Western decadence, however, Comrade Georgy Chicherin knows the mood in foreign investment circles better than all of us! Also, Yezhov was a great help during the purge. But I had to execute him later because pedos like Beria are way better!
 * [[File:StateathFedora.png]] State Atheism - I was very harsh on religion but loosened up after 1941.
 * [[File:Consocf.png]] Conservative Socialism - I am often called conservative because I recriminalized homosexuality. But bear in mind that I viewed them as a form of bourgeois reactionarism because he didn't go far enough...

 * [[File:Natcom.png]] National Communism - Natcoms are revisionists, but I did help some of them. I still prefer intenationalism.
