| | Stalinism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | After Stalin's death in 1953, his successor Nikita Khrushchev repudiated his policies, condemned Stalin's cult of personality in his Secret Speech to the Twentieth Party Congress in 1956, and instituted destalinization and liberalisation (within the same political framework). | | | Stalinism is a brand of political theory, and the political and economic system named after Josef Stalin, who implemented it in the Soviet Union. | | | The historians who support Discontinuity theory claim that Leninism and Stalinism were two opposing ideologies. |

| | The political tenets of Stalinism revolve around the theory of socialism in one country–developed by Stalin to counter the Bolshevik theory that the survival of the Russian Revolution depended on proletarian revolutions in Europe. | | | Specifically, Stalinism is the politics of the bureaucracy that hovers over a workers' state. | | | First and foremost, Stalinism must be understood as the politics of a political stratum. |

| | Theories of Stalinism's Collapse |
| | Stalinism left us a legacy of two evils: the resuscitation of capitalism from its death agony in the 1930’s, and the destruction of working-class consciousness of the proletarian alternative to capitalism. | | | The downfall of Stalinism was a warped after-effect of that achievement, since the central reason for the collapse was the statified capitalist ruling class’s desperate need to dismantle the workers&; remaining gains. | | | The triumphs of Stalinism infected it with the cynicism toward proletarian revolution common among the petty-bourgeois intelligentsia. |

| | International Socialist Review |
| | Stalinism had to exterminate first politically and then physically the leading cadres of Bolshevism in order to become what it now is: an apparatus of the privileged, a brake upon historical progress, an agency of world imperialism. | | | In fact, Stalin had to drown the Bolshevik Party of 1917 in blood in order to consolidate his power and the victory of the bureaucracy. | | | The unimpeachable language of figures mercilessly refutes the assertion so current among the democratic intellectuals that Stalinism and Bolshevism are “one and the same.” Stalinism originated not as an organic growth out of Bolshevism but as a negation of Bolshevism consummated in blood. |

| | Stalinism in the Postwar World |
| | In France and Italy in particular, the Communist Parties became the dominant force within the working class and with their control of the unions and other mass organisations of the proletariat, with a powerful apparatus and machine, organisationally the Stalinist parties were far stronger than Bolshevism had ever been before the Russian revolution. | | | In the face of economic slump, Stalinism can recover and even gain support from further sections of the workers and petit bourgeoisie whom they have not affected in the past. | | | Already in Western Europe the splintering away of Cucchi[9] and Magnani in Italy, a split off in France, and the creation of a Titoist Communist Party in Germany, are symptoms of a positive crisis within Stalinism. |

| | Consequently, it can be said that Stalinism is a product of a condition of society in which society was still unable to tear itself out of the straitjacket of the state. | | | The Bolsheviks — according to Gorter, Pannekoek, certain German "Spartacists" and others — replaced the dictatorship of the proletariat with the dictatorship of the party; Stalin replaced the dictatorship of the party with the dictatorship of the bureaucracy. | | | Is it true that Stalinism represents the legitimate product of Bolshevism, as all reactionaries maintain, as Stalin himself avows, as the Mensheviks, the anarchists, and certain left doctrinaires, considering themselves Marxists, believe? |

| | Ernest Germain: Stalinism (1947) |
| | That is why we say that Stalin, far from being an evil genius who succeeded in fashioning history with the help of his diabolical secret police, is himself only an abortion of the historical process, driven by social forces of which he was unaware to a policy whose appalling internal logic he could never suspect. | | | The masses who flocked to Stalinism in 1944 came there not because of its policy today but because of its past which made the Stalinist parties appear to the masses as the most radical on the political scene. | | | Similarly, Trotsky always emphasized the fact that the passivity of the German working class under Hitler was fundamentally not a result of the all-powerfulness of the Gestapo apparatus, but that, on the contrary, the “totalitarianism&; of the dictatorship was possible only because other factors had brought about an unprecedented prostration of the proletariat. |

| | Most organizations claiming to be Trotskyist avoid programmatic specifics, issuing vague calls for workers' power and a "political revolution" against Stalinism -- while giving direct or backhanded support to the post-Stalinist regimes. | | | We developed a theory of Stalinist imperialism, a question that has not only been left unsolved by all other theories of Stalinism -- even those labeling it a class society -- but has not even been raised at the theoretical level. | | | Its attempt to suppress capitalist economic laws through proletarian property forms and crude planning created a strikingly inefficient and unstable form of capitalism. |
