Revision as of 23:48, 20 February 2024

This page is about the ideology commonly referred to Communism. The formal name for it is Marxism-Leninism. For other uses, see Communism.

"I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this—who will count the votes, and how."

Marxism–Leninism (alternatively known as State Marxism, State Socialism, or just Communism) is an authoritarian, economically far left, usually culturally left, and internationalist ideology. Based on Joseph Stalin's ideological synthesis of Marxism and Leninism, it was the core ideology of the world communist movement, with practically every communist state in history proclaiming Marxism-Leninism as their guiding ideology.

He believes in the historical theory that social revolution by the working class is brought upon by a vanguard party of revolutionaries. This would then lead to a dictatorship of the proletariat through a communist political party that serves as the state’s government, which would reorganize society to bring the social revolution into action. He believes that Anarchism is a childish ideology and that the Bourgeois Class will not give up its wealth. He is one of the main, largest, most aggressive, hated, and best-known enemies of the Libertarian Right quadrant. Many ideologies hate him, including Liberalism, Conservatism, Capitalism, Anarcho-Communism and Fascism.

History

Founding

Following the early death of Vladimir Lenin, he was succeeded by Joseph Stalin, who defined the Soviet Union’s development of Marxism as Marxism-Leninism (which was previously just called Bolshevism).

Soviet Union

WIP

Joseph Stalin

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 Joseph Stalin came to power, he soon consolidated power and won the power struggle against the left dissents ( Trotskyists). He later enacted the policy of Great Purge and cleansed his political opponents with estimably 700k to 1.2 million fell victims. Despite being considered the leader of the "center" (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 New Economic Policy and enacted the the Collectivization of the USSR. During an era of one of the most rapid industrialization in human history, the artificial[11] 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 Kazakh Famine happened with 1.5 to 2.3 million perished. Stalin’s government enforced Lysenko’s pseudo-science theory.

The Stalinist USSR also implemented anti-parasite laws with[12] 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, which effectively cut off the USSR’s economy from trade with the outside world, avoiding most of the effects of the Great Depression. In the mid-1930s, Stalin began to notice a rise in fascism and proposed an Alliance with the West, which they rejected. Western countries signed the The Munich Agreement with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy instead, which includes the partition of Czechoslovakia. Stalin was very disappointed with this decision, and this agreement reportedly influenced his decision to patriate Poland. During the late 1930s, 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. 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.[13]

Stalin didn’t believe that the Nazis would honor the treaty, and Stalin believed they would invade. But he left the Red Army unprepared when the invasion happened 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 alleged Nazi collaborationism of these ethnicities. 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 can be traced back to the 1930s, and it 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 anti-fascist partisans of the continent. Finally, in 1945, the USSR, with support from other allied members, such as 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 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 Dimitrov Or 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 a superpower. The Stalinist USSR almost eradicated illiteracy rate with near 100% literacy rate by 1950.

Stalin died in 1953 and his successor started to gradually move away from his influence. 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 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 bloodthirsty 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 Marx, Engels, and Lenin.

Georgy Malenkov

(...)

Nikita Khrushchev

Main Article: Khrushchevism

After the brief rule of Georgy Malenkov, Nikita Khrushchev assumed leadership of the USSR. Khrushchev’s primary focus was De-Stalinisation, as well as slight liberalization of cultural policies and small parts of the economy, while preserving the socialist state. He also prioritized the needs of the people over the state, emphasizing investments in agriculture and consumer goods over the military and heavy industry. Khrushchev dismantled gulags and freed millions of innocent prisoners, and he enacted a cultural thaw with more cultural exchange with western nations, as well as liberalizations of arts, abortions, and marriage.

Mikhail Suslov

Mikhail Andreyevich Suslov was the chief ideologue of the USSR as he served as the ideology hardliner within the Soviet Union to oppose all reform attempts of Marxism-Leninism. Suslov was a hardline Stalinist who conducted a great purge in the Baltic state against Baltic nationalists and supervised the deportation and genocide of Chechens. He also provoked a full-scale conflict against Titoist Yugoslavia, obstructing Khrushchev and later Brezhnev's reconciliation attempt with Yugoslavia. He also tried to obstruct the de-Stalinization process of Khrushchev in social and economic spheres, and later persuaded Brezhnev to stop this process.

Suslov's main achievements were increasing the industrial output of Lativa under his rule by 14 times and overthrowing Khruschev, which saw the installation of Brezhnev as the head of the USSR, his staunch commitment to supporting third-world national liberation movements, such as the Algerian FLN movement, the Nasserist Egypt, and many others. He was also credited for living a plain life and refusing to engage in corruption. Suslov was forced to support the invasion of Hungary despite his initial reservations due to the overwhelming support of the presidium. Still, he later opposed the invasion of Czechoslovakia and was skeptical of using social imperialist methods. However, he supported the invasion of Afghanistan and staunchly opposed all nationalist movements within the USSR and the Socialist Camp, favoring a more centralized Soviet state and world socialist movement.

As the leader of the Stalinist wing of the CPSU, Suslov was allied with Neo-Stalinists like Grigory Romanov. Suslov opposed any further detente attempt by Kosygin and Brezhnev with the USA despite their diplomatic flexibility due to his skepticism of trade with the capitalist bloc; despite this, he was a staunch supporter of the peaceful co-existence theory due to the threat of a nuclear war, and he sharply criticized Mao for opposing this theory. Since the mid-1960s, Suslov became increasingly hardline on foreign and domestic policies as he blocked the 1965 economic reform, voiced strong criticisms against Maoist China 's "revisionism," and criticized it as deviating from Marxist-Leninist orthodoxy, just like Titoist Yugoslavia. Despite his overall support of Stalin, Suslov was critical of his autocracy and personality cult. He restored the collective leadership of the Lenin era, as opposed to the one-man rule of the Stalin and Khrushchev eras. Suslov also opposed the "Social Fascism" theory of Stalin. He was generally supportive of communist parties allying social democratic/socialist parties, which he saw as a "progressive force", especially in the third world. However, he was vehemently opposed to any attempt to revise orthodox Marxist-Leninist ideals of violent revolution and a one-party socialist republic, as he saw these attempts as revisionist.

Alexei Kosygin

Main Article: Market Socialism

Alexei Nikolayevich Kosygin was the premier of the Soviet Union who through the Kosygin reform reformed the USSR's planned economy by making it's industry more efficient by including some market measures to increase the production rate, which initially succeeded as wages increased but later failed as housing construction declined massively between 1960-1964, due to the poor results, the reform was cancelled by Brezhnev. Under Kosygin's premiership the Soviet Union signed a friendship treaty with Iraq in 1972 and ended war between India and Pakistan through the Tashkent Declaration. During the 1946-1947 Soviet famine, Kosygin sent food to the affected regions.

Leonid Brezhnev

Leonid Brezhnev came to power in the USSR via a bloodless coup against the incumbent Nikita Khrushchev and was widely viewed as a compromise candidate of hardline Stalinists and Khrushchevite reformists in the USSR. Many western scholars have described Leonid Brezhnev’s rule as 'Neo-Stalinist'. However, Brezhnev didn’t fully restore the cult of Stalin or undo all of Khrushchev’s economic reforms. Brezhnev’s first term saw the Kosygin reform being implemented. However, the reform was half-hearted and later abandoned as Brezhnev favored Stalin’s emphasis on heavy industry in his economic policy.

Brezhnev also reversed the cultural liberalization reforms in literature and arts and arrested people who criticized him, sharply contrasting Khrushchev’s relatively relaxed communist rule, and Brezhnev restored some Stalinist practices like the lifetime cadre system, which accumulated corruption in the USSR. But he did restore the collective leadership of the Lenin era, as opposed to his predecessor Nikita, who ruled the USSR with a similar autocratic style to Stalin despite his intense hatred of his predecessor.

Brezhnev shifted from Khrushchev believing in the idea of different paths to Socialism and Khrushchev emphasized the importance of the Non-Aligned Movement countries. As such Brezhnev believed in economic integration and political consolidation of the Socialist countries in order to sustain socialist integrity in the socialist countries. As such Brezhnev Doctrine believes in the idea of the preservation of international socialism over a country's sovereignty believing it is the Soviet Union's job to intervene if the country strayed away from the socialist orthodoxy.

Yuri Andropov

(...)

Konstantin Chernenko

As General Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee, Konstantin Chernenko actually continued Andropov's policy, even as a crony of Brezhnev. Chernenko actively fought the shadow economy, initiated the concept of "perestroika," and pursued a policy of acceleration, even before Gorbachev. Most of Chernenko's time in the highest office of the state was sick and had to run the country from the hospital. Chernenko's very appointment as general secretary demonstrated the deep crisis that reigned in the highest corridors of power of the Soviet elite. As it turned out later, the real crisis was just ahead.

Germany

Marxism-Leninism started in Germany in the 1920s, when the KPD progressed from a libertarian and council-communist party to a Marxist-Leninist party under Ernst Thälmann, who would run for various different positions. The KPD would also start the Anti-Racist Action movement, which directly countered racism in Germany in the 1930s. The KPD, along with many other leftist parties, was banned, and Thälmann was later shot on Hitler's orders. After Nazi Germany was overthrown, the Eastern part of it was taken over by the Socialist Unity Party, a merger of the KPD and Social Democratic parties, and transformed along with the majority of the Eastern Bloc, countries that the Soviet Union liberated from fascism and forcefully imposed the ideology of Marxist-Leninism upon them. This would later lead to the GDR, or East Germany, which existed for many years, and had an array of different leaders, the most notable of which being Erich Honecker. Eventually, like most Eastern Bloc countries, it was dissolved.

Poland

In Poland, following the war, the socialist Provisional Government of National Unity was formed. It was a communist-dominated force and eventually established the Polish People's Republic. The PPR was initially very Stalinist, cracking down on the partisans who are loyal to the exiled government of Poland, who were operating from the ashes of the Home Army. Infamously, it granted amnesty to all these "Cursed Soldiers"", and then put them into prisons, or just executed them. Later, after the death of Stalin, the leader, Boleslaw Bierut died and replaced by Gomulka, who tried to initiate a series of reforms, which failed and Poland continued to be a highly authoritarian and communist country. During this time, the communist government cracked down heavily on the Catholic Church, which, due to Poland's religiousness, alienated most people in Poland. After the resignation of Gomulka, a series of leaders sped by, most notably Edward Gierek, ruling from 1970 to 1980, and somewhat democratised the country, making it slightly less authoritarian, as well as not attacking the church as much. Then, after the resignation of Gierek, general Wojciech Jaruzelski took power. During this time, the anti-communist group Solidarity, with strikes, heavily weakened the government. To save Poland from an invasion like the one on Czechoslovakia, Jaruzelski declared martial law and ruled as a military despot for 9 years. In 1989, the Solidarity strikes destroyed Poland's economy, and Jaruzelski negotiated with them to save the government. He was forced to resign, and Solidarity took power, initiating a series of sweeping reforms that dissolved the PPR.

Hungary

Main Article: Market Socialism

Goulash Communism, also called Kadarism and Hungarian Thaw, was the communist ideology associated with Hungary after the 1956 revolution. It is generally economically and culturally left-wing and while less so than its predecessors, was fairly authoritarian. It was characterized by improvements in personal freedom and quality of life, market reforms, and a deviation from Stalinism.

Beliefs

Dialectical and Historical materialism

By virtue of being a Marxist ideology, Marxism–Leninism concurs with the core Marxist tenets of dialectical materialism. Dialectical materialism serves as an essential form of analysis for any Marxist ideology and thus is a core component of Marxism–Leninism.

Critique of Imperialism

Imperialism as seen and described by Lenin is the highest stage of capitalism, involving the domination of the economy by monopolies and the export of capital as the principal form of exploitation and accumulation engaged in by the leading capitalist countries. Imperialism in the Leninist sense is essentially limited to the capitalist era.

Imperialism entails savage competition between the leading capitalist countries for colonies and spheres of influence, culminating in imperialist wars (such as the First World War, which Lenin witnessed).

Party organization principles

Marxist–Leninist parties usually adhere to the principle of democratic centralism which involves free debate within the party and democratic development of party policies by the party members and their elected committees and leaders, but strict adherence by party members to those policies once the policies have been chosen.

Strategy and tactics of revolution

Marxist–Leninists hold that successful revolutions involve more than spontaneous, elemental action by the masses but require a vanguard party to provide them theoretical guidance and, in the revolutionary moment, tactical leadership. The vanguard (communist) party is based on full-time revolutionaries and is a repository of revolutionary experience.

Theory and practice of the dictatorship of the proletariat

Marxist–Leninists adhere to Marx's two-stages model of communism, involving an initial, "lower" stage, often termed "socialism", which is transitional between capitalism and "higher" stage communism in which the state, money, and other vestiges of capitalism and class society no longer exist. In the lower stage a state, controlled by the proletariat, remains necessary to defend against counter-revolution and to guide society away from capitalistic behaviors and toward cooperation and the "free association of the producers" which characterize true or higher-stage communism. The lower stage is also known as the dictatorship of the proletariat since it involves control of society by the proletariat.

Belief in the necessity of the dictatorship of the proletariat distinguishes Marxism–Leninism from more anarchistic tendencies within social liberation theory.

Proletarian Internationalism

WIP

People's Democracy

People's Democracy is a type of multi-class dictatorship involving the alliance of the proletariat, peasantry, petite bourgeoise, and the national bourgeoisie. In a people's democracy, a multi-party democracy as one united popular front will achieve the path to socialism. The parties in the united front are all social democratic, socialist, and anti-fascist parties; whom are all united against imperialism and fascism and for the development of socialism.

A multi-class dictatorship was needed in order to unite the anti-fascist and patriotic sections of society in order to fight against the resurgence of fascism and to help these countries recover from WW2’s destruction.

Socialism in One Country

Most commonly associated with Joseph Stalin, who adopted it as official policy, Socialism in One Country is a theory which proposes that it is possible to build socialism in a single country, even in a poor and underdeveloped one. This is in opposition to the view of Leon Trotsky (a major opponent of Stalin), who advocated “permanent revolution”, a Eurocentric perversion that held that socialism was only possible in wealthy, industrialized countries and only if established simultaneously in many of them. Trotsky and his followers opposed the peasantry and held that line that permanent revolution was the only true expression of internationalism, and that Stalin supposedly abandoned internationalism.

However, Socialism in One Country doesn’t contradict internationalism and the world revolution, it simply argues that any country which lacks the material requirements for socialism can work to fulfill those requirements and then build socialism - this is what the Soviet Union did in the early 1920s before adopting socialism in 1928. “Permanent revolution” would mean that the Third World poor would have to wait for the white Europeans, which led the most “developed” civilizations due to centuries of colonialism, to first establish socialism and spread it elsewhere, which is a completely revisionist line which contradicts the material realities of imperialism - it isn’t a surprise that this “permanent revolution” never occurred, and the strategy of Socialism in One Country was followed by nearly every socialist country in history.

  • Paleoconservatism - A neocon in disguise who still wants intervention but in fewer countries. Also, it's the West that's controlling Israel, not the other way around as what chuds like you believe.
  • Christian Democracy - Opiate-addicted libtard that banned me from West Germany. I banned him too in GDR. East Germany best Germany!
  • Trumpism - Shut the f*ck up, LIBERAL.
  • Thatcherism - THE B*TCH IS DEAD!
  • Reactionaryism - The reason why I am called a tankie. To the gulags!
  • Feudalism –I can't believe I'm saying this, but one of the few good things that he did, was getting rid of you.
  • Monarchism - Fuck the Romanovs! They got what they deserved for holding the commoners in serfdom.
  • Apoliticism - Apoliticism benefits the status quo!
  • Radical Centrism - Crypto-Fascist with a mask.
  • Horseshoe Centrism - This guy says that me and Anarcho-Capitalism is the same thing. I would say that you are actually working with cappies.
  • Alt-Lite - Another moderate fashie.
  • Alt-Right - A reactionary chud and a filthy fash. I'd rather work with the anarkiddy to bash you up!
  • White Nationalism - Death to white supremacist AmeriKKKa! Also, you hate Israel for the wrong reasons, I oppose them because they support Apartheid (both at home and in South Africa), like you. Get exiled!
  • Social Darwinism - Are you not just capitalism again?! You also misinterpreted Darwin's theory of evolution! That I ignored for a short time in favor of Lysenkoism.
  • Yellow Socialism - A disgusting reactionary parading around calling himself a socialist! Fake socialist!
  • Anarcho-Pacifism - And I thought anarkiddy couldn't become even more spineless.
  • Theocracies - My lack of god, imagine still believing in these regressive institutions. I'll forever be thankful to the Orthodox for supporting me during the war.
  • Islamic Nationalism & Jihadism - *Afghan war flashbacks*
  • Three Represents & Scientific Outlook on Development - I despise both of you as you kinda sold out to the west persecuting the Chinese New Left. However, the way crushed liberal dissidents such as Liu Xiaobo and Ai Wei Wei were based and Jiang make for funny memes.
  • Pinochetism - You're just another American puppet bourgeoise regime. Please get that helicopter away from me. Plus your free market plans fell harder! Also, how dare you murder Allende?!
  • Batistaism - F*ck off, Batista. Running away in 1959 was the best thing you ever did.

  • Anarcho-Nihilism - One of the most lumpen anarchists who cares only about himself and hates Working people and society. Go to gulag.
  • Illegalism - You may refuse to be capitalist, but if you are motivated by self-interest and you like money and any markets, including black markets you are just lumpen. There is no crime in the Motherland Don't watch Citizen X, please

Notes

  1. ↑ "When we are told that the victory of socialism is possible only on a world scale, we regard this merely as an attempt, a particularly hopeless attempt, on the part of the bourgeoisie and its voluntary and involuntary supporters to distort the irrefutable truth. The ‘final’ victory of socialism in a single country is of course impossible." - Vladimir Lenin.
  2. ↑ It is absolutely necessary for us to ensure the rapid and continuous renewal of all sectors of the national economy on the basis of modern achievements of science and technology. This is one of our fundamental tasks. Without this, the progress of society is simply unthinkable." - Konstantin Chernenko
  3. ↑ At the age of 35, Stalin had a relationship with Lidia Pereprygina, who became pregnant with two of his children while she was aged 14 and 15 respectively.
  4. ↑ Homophobia of Stalinist USSR was not due to conservative or traditional beliefs, but by opinion that homosexuality is a tool of fascism and aristocracy.
  5. ↑ Suslov was strongly opposed to the de-Stalinization policy of Khrushchev and his economic reforms. Suslov persuaded Brezhnev to stop the de-Stalinization process, but he also criticized the autocracy and personality cult of Stalin.
  6. ↑ Cde. Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej: They call that “internationalism” while we are the “nationalists,” we suffer from “national narrow-mindedness,” that we haven’t evolved to the level of an “excellent communist”! Why? Because we do not want to hand over our natural gas, crude oil and other raw materials to them. They can hardly wait to get their hands on these resources. They look at them like some hungry wolves. If we would let them, they would drain our resources dry – grain, corn, natural gas, crude oil, everything we have of value – in several years.
  7. ↑ Officially opposes Dengism, though retains relations with the Communist Party of China.
  8. ↑ DPRK’s 2009 Constitution removed all references to communism and Marxism-Leninism.
