Trotskyism: Difference between revisions

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:OrmarxfErgaDictature.png]] [[MarxismErgatocracy|the dictatorship of the proletariat]], leaning on the peasantry.

Another important Trotskyist belief is the theory of the "Degenerated Workers' State". According to it, a [[File:OrthlenErgaDictature.png]] [[LeninismErgatocracy|Dictatorship of the Proletariat]] may develop a powerful caste of state bureaucrats, which will seize the power from the workers. [[File:Stalin.png]] [[Marxism–Leninism|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:Dsa.png]] [[Democratic Socialism|democratically]].
