'''Trotskyism''' or '''Bolshevik-Leninism''' is a [[File:Soc-h.png]] [[Socialism|Socialist]] and [[File:Internation.png]] [[Internationalism|Internationalist]] ideology focusing on the political ideals of the Soviet revolutionary [[File:Lev Davidovich Bronstein.png]] Leon Trotsky. It is distinguished in the belief of "permanent revolution".


== History==
== History==
Trotskyism originated during the life of [[File:Lev Davidovich Bronstein.png]] Leon Trotsky, who was influenced by the ideas of Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin. When the October Revolution occured, Trotsky was a major leader of the revolution and contributed greatly to leading the Petrograd Soviet. During the Russian Civil War, Trotsky was a major leader of the Red Army. When Joseph Stalin came to power in 1924, Trotsky was exiled from the [[File:ML.png]] USSR and formed the Fourth International with other Trotskyists. Trotskyism and the Fourth International continued to exist after Trotsky's assassination. After the death of the unified Fourth International, the League for the Fifth International (L5I) was eventually formed in hopes of creating a new Trotskyist 'Fifth International'. L5I still exists to this day and has affiliated parties in multiple countries.

== Beliefs==
== Beliefs==
Trotskyism's main belief is the "Permanent Revolution", which is the belief that communist states need to spread the ideals of [[File:Ormarxf.png]] [[Marxism]] and [[File:ML.png]] [[Marxism–Leninism|Communism]] in general whenever possible and however they can try to incite revolutions against capitalism in those countries. They should do this until "[[File:Cap.png]] [[Capitalism]]" ceases to be.
Trotskyism's main belief is the "Permanent Revolution", which is the belief that the complete victory of the [[File:Cap.png]] [[Capitalism|bourgeois-democratic revolution]] in Russia is conceivable only in the form of [[File:Erga.png]] [[Ergatocracy|the dictatorship of the proletariat]], leaning on the peasantry.
The [[File:Cap.png]] [[Capitalism|democratic revolution]] grows over directly into the [[File:Soc-h.png]] [[Socialism|socialist revolution]] and thereby becomes a permanent revolution.


Another important Trotskyism's belief is the theory of "Degenerated Workers' State". According to it, a [[File:Orthlen.png]] [[Leninism|Dictatorship of the Proletariat]] may develop a powerful caste of state bureaucrats, which will seize the power from the workers. [[File:Stalin.png]] [[Stalinism|Such a state]] will be unable to progress further towards [[File:Ormarxf.png]] [[Marxism|higher-stage Communism]], and without any political revolution to overthrow the bureaucracy it will eventually slide back to [[File:Cap.png]] [[Capitalism]]. As such, Trotsky believed that a socialist state would need to be run [[File:Dem.png]] [[Democracy|democratically]].

==[[File:Clif.png]] Cliffism==
Trotskyism also maintains as being in the camp of "Anti- [[File:Stalin.png]] [[Stalinism|Stalinist]]"/"Anti-Soviet" camp, and such it generally aligns itself with people on the [[File:Libleft.png]] [[LibLeft|libertarian left]] and the moderate left than with other extreme authoritarian left ideologies.

'''Cliffism'''' is an Ideology that is in its core Trotskyist but has broken with key components of Orthodox Trotskyism, such as the theory of Deformed Worker's States. It is more ideologically Versatile and puts more emphasis on identity Politics than normal Trotskyism, attempting to "Unite the Struggles". Cliffism is, similar to Trotskyism, on the far Left politically and culturally and slightly above the Authority Axis. It wants to achieve a Leninist Multi-Party Council Communist Democracy.

'''History'''

Cliffism was founded in 1948 by Israeli-British Socialist Tony Cliff (real name Yigael Gluckstein). Initially a member of the british wing of the Fourth International, the Revolutionary Communist Party, Cliff was expelled in the 50s for refusing to take a stance for or against North Korea in the Korean War, seeing it as a War between two capitalist Nations and founded the "International Socialists" who would later become the "Socialist Workers Party" of the UK. From there on the SWP was a constant, if minor, power within British Politics, organising during the Vietnam War, being an important part of the Anti-Nazi-League. Due to its ability to change Tactics rapidly it was able to survive Thatcherism and later showed itself again in Anti-War movements. It continues to be force in British Politics to this day. Outside of Britain its Tendency is very strong in Ireland and Germany, where it has members in Parliament.

"To make the individual sacred we must destroy the social order which crucifies him. And this problem can only be solved by blood and iron."

Trotskyism or Bolshevik-Leninism is a Socialist and Internationalist ideology focusing on the political ideals of the Soviet revolutionary Leon Trotsky. It is distinguished in the belief of "permanent revolution".

History

Trotskyism originated during the life of Leon Trotsky, who was influenced by the ideas of Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin. When the October Revolution occured, Trotsky was a major leader of the revolution and contributed greatly to leading the Petrograd Soviet. During the Russian Civil War, Trotsky was a major leader of the Red Army. When Joseph Stalin came to power in 1924, Trotsky was exiled from the USSR and formed the Fourth International with other Trotskyists. Trotskyism and the Fourth International continued to exist after Trotsky's assassination. After the death of the unified Fourth International, the League for the Fifth International (L5I) was eventually formed in hopes of creating a new Trotskyist 'Fifth International'. The L5I still exists to this day and has affiliated parties in multiple countries.

Beliefs

Trotskyism's main belief is the "Permanent Revolution", which is the belief that the complete victory of the bourgeois-democratic revolution in Russia is conceivable only in the form of the dictatorship of the proletariat, leaning on the peasantry. The democratic revolution grows over directly into the socialist revolution and thereby becomes a permanent revolution.

Another important Trotskyist belief is the theory of the "Degenerated Workers' State". According to it, a Dictatorship of the Proletariat may develop a powerful caste of state bureaucrats, which will seize the power from the workers. Such a state will be unable to progress further towards higher-stage Communism, and without any political revolution to overthrow the bureaucracy, it will eventually slide back to Capitalism. As such, Trotsky believed that a socialist state would need to be run democratically.

Cliffism

Cliffism' is an Ideology that is in its core Trotskyist but has broken with key components of Orthodox Trotskyism, such as the theory of Deformed Worker's States. It is more ideologically Versatile and puts more emphasis on identity Politics than normal Trotskyism, attempting to "Unite the Struggles". Cliffism is, similar to Trotskyism, on the far Left politically and culturally and slightly above the Authority Axis. It wants to achieve a Leninist Multi-Party Council Communist Democracy.

History

Cliffism was founded in 1948 by Israeli-British Socialist Tony Cliff (real name Yigael Gluckstein). Initially a member of the british wing of the Fourth International, the Revolutionary Communist Party, Cliff was expelled in the 50s for refusing to take a stance for or against North Korea in the Korean War, seeing it as a War between two capitalist Nations and founded the "International Socialists" who would later become the "Socialist Workers Party" of the UK. From there on the SWP was a constant, if minor, power within British Politics, organising during the Vietnam War, being an important part of the Anti-Nazi-League. Due to its ability to change Tactics rapidly it was able to survive Thatcherism and later showed itself again in Anti-War movements. It continues to be force in British Politics to this day. Outside of Britain its Tendency is very strong in Ireland and Germany, where it has members in Parliament.

Personality and Behaviour

Cliffism is most often seen with Trotskyism. They are rather reserved but when angered start chanting Slogans with a Megaphone. They also have a fondness for Congresses, Placards and Newspapers. Despite denouncing them as "Reformists" Cliffism constantly works with Social Democracy and Democratic Socialism in the name of left Unity, something Italian Left Communism likes to mock them for.
