    Stalinism is a totalitarian, mostly culturally left in his time, economically far-left ideology occupying the upper left corner of the political compass. He believes in rapid Indust.png industrialization, socialist commodity production, Socialism in One Country.png socialism in one country (until 1939), a Totalitarian.png totalitarian state, and collectivization of agriculture. A cult of personality was established under his rule, but JosephStalin.png Stalin expressed his personal distaste and resisted the cult multiple times.[3]

    JosephStalin.png 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 JosephStalin.png Joseph Stalin came to power, he soon consolidated power and won the power struggle against the left dissents (Trot.png Trotskyists). He later enacted the policy of NKVD.png Great Purge and cleansed his political opponents with estimably 700k to 1.2 million fell victims. Despite being considered the leader of "centre" (no relation to Centrist Marxism) faction of the CPSU by some scholars, Stalin enacted a similar economic platform to the Trotskyist left opposition.

    Shortly after coming to power, Stalin declared the end of Lenin’s NEP.png New Economic Policy and enacted the Statesoc.png the Collectivization of the USSR. During an era of one of the Indust.png most rapid industrialization in human history, the artificial[4]Kosior.png Holodmor happened under the context with around 3.5 million to 5 million died of starvation. Whether it’s genocide is still subjected to debates in academia. But some scholars believe the famine was primarily caused by external factors outside of Stalin’s control, such as the burning of crops by the Kulaks and bad weather. The Goloshchyokin.png Kazakh Famine happened with 1.5 to 2.3 million perished. Stalin’s government enforced Lysenko.png Lysenko’s pseudo-science theory.

    The Stalinist USSR also implemented anti-parasite laws with [5] Forced labor that punished people for ‘poor labor disciplines’ and ‘laziness’ and gulags. 1.8 million workers were sentenced to 6 months in forced labor with a quarter of their original pay, 3.3 million faced sanctions, and 60k were imprisoned for absentees in 1940 alone. The conditions of Soviet workers worsened in WW2 as 1.3 million were punished in 1942, and 1 million each were punished in subsequent 1943 and 1944 with the reduction of 25% of food rations. Furthermore, 460 thousand imprisoned were imprisoned throughout these years. However, it was noted that there was a substantial rise in wages that happened by the late 1930s after real wages declined to 60% of the pre-1928 level in the early 1930s, and wage funds were increased by 50%. A minimum wage of 110-115 rubles was established in 1937; private gardens were allowed for one million workers to farm in their private plots. Even so, most Soviet workers lived in crowded communal housings and dormitories and suffered from extreme poverty.

    Stalin’s regime continued the economic boom of the Lenin era and enacted the policy of Socialism in One Country.png Socialism in One Country, which effectively cut off the USSR’s economy from the trade with outside world. In the the mid-1930s, Stalin began to notice a rise in fascism and proposed an Alliance with the West, which they rejected. During the late 1930s, Hitler.png Adolf Hitler offered the USSR a non-aggression pact. Stalin decided to take him, believing (In his own words) that it would give the USSR time to prepare its troops. Stalin decided to invade eastern Poland and the Baltics, believing that if they did not fall into nazi hands, it would give the USSR an advantage. NKVD.png Mass repressions by the NKVD were launched to suppress Polish civilians and military personnel following the invasion, the USSR conducted the Katyn Massacre against Polish military officers, which killed 22000 officers and POWs. There were also mass repressions conducted by the USSR against Baltic populations with 10% of Baltics either killed, deported to Siberia, or detained by the extrajudicial rule of the Soviet regime.[6]

    Stalin didn’t believe that the Nazi.png Nazis would honor the treaty, and Stalin believed they would invade. But he left the Red Army unprepared when the invasion happened and the USSR suffered heavy casualties in the early stage of the war. In 1941, Nazi Germany broke the nonaggression pact, invading the USSR. However, Nazi Germany’s forces underestimated the harsh weather conditions in the winter of the Soviet Union, therefore giving the red army the upper hand. After long and harsh conditions in battles such as the Battle of Stalingrad and the Battle of Moscow, the Soviet Union managed to push back. During the war, the USSR transported different ethnic groups around the USSR. Per official reason, this decision was to suppress the revolts and Nazi collaborationism. However, this decision is condemned by scholars as genocide and ethnic cleansing and 800k to 1.5 million died in the process. This population transfer continued in 1949, after the war ended. The USSR joined the allies and began to push the Germans out of the USSR and Eastern Europe, with help from Antifash2.png anti-fascist partisans of the continent. Finally, in 1945, the USSR, with support from other allied members, such as FDRismF.png FDR’s lend lease to the USSR, managed to push the nazis to Berlin, leading to Hitler's suicide and the end of the war. The USSR's participation and the victories of the Battle of Stalingrad and the Battle of Moscow are generally considered a major turning point in WW2.

    After the Allied triumph in World War 2 against Fash.png Fascism, another famine happened in Ukraine, known as the 1946-1947 Famine. This would be the last major famine in Eastern Europe, partially due to the rapid industrialization effort of the USSR. Due to support and aid from the USSR, many communist governments (such as BulgarianStalin.png Dimitrov Or Gottwald2.png Gottwald) managed to gain power in their respective countries by couping the governments (known as post-war Eastern European coalitions) and began to implement Marxism-leninism under their government, with the support and aid from the USSR. These governments were widely described as satellite states by scholars. The USSR was therefore, able to rise to the status of superpower.

    Stalin died in 1953 and his successors started to gradually move away from his influence. Khrusch.png Nikita Khrushchev gave a secret speech in 1956, marking the first wave of De-Stalinization and denounced Stalin’s cult of personality. Though the influence of Stalinist policies and practices on Soviet politics would not diminish before the second wave of De-Stalinization, carried by the reformist-minded Gorb.png General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev.

    As one of the most respected figures in some post-Soviet countries such as Russia, Georgia and Belarus, Stalin remained a highly controversial figure internationally, with most western scholars and his critics denouncing him, describing him of being a blood thirsty tyrant who killed a range of millions to tens of millions under his rule. Still, some scholars defend his record, and the governments of Russia and Belarus see him as a patriotic leader who deserves credit for making the USSR a superpower with rapid industrialization and victory in the Soviet Patriotic War. Many Marxist-Leninists generally see him as one of the most important figures who theorized Marxism-Leninism, along with Ormarxf.png Marx, Orengelsf.png Engels, and Lenin.png Lenin.

    Doctrine

    Economically speaking, Stalinism is far-left. Stalinism is culturally variable, but mostly left-leaning. 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 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.

    Neostalin.png Neo-Stalinism

    Neostalinism, is an ideology used to represent the followers of Stalin in the modern age. It is an anti revisionist ideology, influenced from Hoxhaism.

    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.

    Personality and Behavior

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

    How to Draw

    Flag of Stalinism

    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 existence.

    1. Draw a ball.
    2. Fill it in 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!

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. At least we both like your Chiang-Ching-kuo.png son.
