Money makes the difference between marxism and another things: is it a market economic system or not. Only Marxist communism is nonmarket economic system.

Who can know you're not a socialist if you do not what it means? :D

Stalinism is generally regarded as Socialism in one state. Stalin felt, opposite of Trotsky, that Russia should build up Socialism in one state, rather then "export" it, aka, support other communist parties in siezing control of their governments. Lobby, please remember there is nothing innately wrong with being a Stalinist (some comrades think there is is).

Marxist-Lenninsts believe communism is a graudal road. You can not just have a revolution and become Communist, you become a socialist nation and work your way to a state of communism (The CCCP had planned to be a pure communist nation by the seventies, I have heard). Like all wings of MArxism it is revisit because it changes Commumism from how Marx and Engels saw it, holy shit that sounded dogmatic.

Trotskyites believe that the only way for communism to work you need a world wide revolution. Trotsky had hoped when he came to power to invade Germany and beyond and install communist governments.

Maoism, well, I'm not sure on that one, got to ask Chairman Mao.

PS, you can find more information on any of these topics furhter down. Next time look for threads about what you want to know about!
