I've read what I could find on these different philosophies on communism, but it seems that on this site anytime anyone tries to have an intalligent debate between the two sides all that happens in a lot of trash talking. As I said before, I've done research but i want ot know first hand from a Trotskyist and a Stalinist what each philosophy is all about. Lets be grown up and keep this clean, I'm not trying to start a fight just trying to see how they differ.

To keep this unbiased, I am not going to give my personal ideology, but I fit in neither one of these categories

Both sides call their idealogy an "advancement" of leninism(which was an "advancement" of marxism), which is debatable. But Stalinists claim that there is no difference between Leninism and Stalinism(scary) and that it was a "trot invention" to "seperate" the working class from the "leninist/stalinists". Although, both sides make attempts to appeal to peasentry(which is ironically reactionary), there is nothing else they share. Trots want a world revolution and Stals want socialism in one state, trots want democracy stals want dictatorship, and so on and so forth.

I'm neither but this is what each of them say about themselves.

I've already tried getting some information from a Stalinist on here, doesn't seem to work out too well. However, I was referencd this: http://www.plp.org/books/Stalin/book.html -- by someone who claims to be a Stalinist (even though I'm quite sure he's very lost on basic communist principles)... But my understanding is that it was written by a Stalinist and it goes over a lot of what he did, so you'll get least that side of Stalin from a Stalinist. As for Trotsky, well the majority of stuff out there is anti-Stalin, which apparently makes it pro-trotsky (at least in some peoples' eyes). But I would suggest reading anything in the marxists.org archive from Trotsky himself. You'll probably notice a lot of fundamental differences in ideas, however, from what I understand after Trotsky was expelled (and possibly after he was murdered but it may have been before), Stalin undertook a very similar plan of his of massive industrialization which he used to criticize Trotsky for. Once again, this is just what I understand from what I know, not sure if that's exactly the case yet. I myself still have to read that link, aswell as more stuff from Trotsky.

Hello all! Okay, I am one of the few Trots on this board I will try and answer you I just don't have time right now but I'm just letting you all know I'm aware of this thread and will hopefully get back to it.
One thing to remeber is that it was one of Stalins agents, ordered by Stalin himself, that killed Leon Trotsky.
Chioa for now.

I sense already this is leading into debate. How about a Trot just lay down the basics and a Stalinist lay down the basics.

Well it's a big subject.
The way I view it is basically that Stalinism was born out of the views the bueacracy needed to adapt to keep themselves in power. Like their dealings with Hitler, abandoning socialist revolution in Spain, abandoning the greek communists after ww2, killing the comintern etc. This also had an effect on the other communist parties since they followed the directives from Moscow.
Stalinism today? Well apart from the different impotent "m/l" sects, we can see that most of the leadership of the existing communist parties (I mean those with a massbase) has adopted a reformist outlook.

If you want a explanation of "trotskyism" (bolshevism) then I would suggest you to go directly to the man himself and look through his works. Trotsky Internet Archive (http://www.marxists.org/archive/trotsky/index.htm) Since there is quite a few groups with each their definition of Trotskyism.

I would suggest these 2 books on the subject of the eternal Stalinism vs. Trotskyism debate.

Lenin and Trotsky - what they really stood for (http://www.marxist.com/LeninAndTrotsky/)

As I expected your to stupid to reply.
Luckily your kind is a dieing breed.
At least the old stalinists would try to defend their views you on the other hand is utterly incapeable of that. The only thing I have seen you do is to defend the moscow trials in OI were you basically said the old guard was counterrevolutionary. Considering the vast amount of menshevics and carrerists in the top of the party at that time I think it's pretty clear who's the revisionist here.

Consider this RAF. What future line will be taken will be decided by discussions and by revolutionaries being able to connect with the big mass of people. Not by who can throw around the most insults. As Lenin said "patiently explain", you are quite incapeable of that. Most people feel repulsed by your attitude and that's not really helping anyone. I would love to see you act that way at one of my unionmeetings. The members need a good laugh considering the present situation. None of them would however take a arrogant wornout guy shouting insults serious. Now gently crawl back to the cave were you have been hiding the last 50 years.

I would love to see you act that way at one of my unionmeetings. The members need a good laugh considering the present situation. None of them would however take a arrogant wornout guy shouting insults serious. Now gently crawl back to the cave were you have been hiding the last 50 years.

Btw it's Mr T not Mr ED.

Good idea! Let's talk about insults a bit. It's seems common for the "leftists" here to wine about "how I've insulted them" only after starting the insults themselves.

Look kid, if you did not want the "mean old Stalinist" to retaliate then why did you post this:


As I expected your (sic) to stupid to reply.
Luckily your (sic) kind is a dieing (sic) breed.


and this:


One starts to wonder when you got that lobotomy.

A grown up acting like a kid is not something you see very often, but it's always a sad case.


Many folks on this board have attempted (many times) to paint me as the "instigator" of insults when all I have done was return the favour.

Remember how well it worked out for them? Do you think the people here are so completely daft that they will ignore WRITTEN FACT in order to slag the evil Stalinist?

Get real son. This absurd charade is not fooling ANYONE any longer.

When are you cats going to learn? This is too much like watching puppet theatre. :lol:

Stay away from those planes "Mr. T".

P.S.

In case you have forgotten, I DON'T CARE what Lenin said, I for one do not hang on the words of an individual who has been amusing kids who gush over "the mummy" for nearly a century.

I don't take his words as GOSPEL, and NEITHER SHOULD YOU, sonny.

Communism is about the PEOPLE, not about THE MUMMY.

Dear little hurt RAF what did you expect?
You answer a post just by an icon, not very serious well? Especially from a guy with a university degree. As most of you other posts it's just useless, I mean using icons and saying liar in every sentence is just pathetic. Don't post if you don't have anything to say, or is spamming allowed for you?

Haha Well RAF the thing is Lenin's works still hold water and should be a good base for anyone claiming to be marxist. Just like Marx is still a good read. Of course your communism is quite far away from theirs which is why you probably choose to just write em off as dead men. Now the later communist parties had quite a different view than you on this matter, which was why they tried to portray there ideas as being in accordance with Lenin. We can learn alot from past experiences, what happened in Russia?, why did we see capitalist restoration? etc. All points you always skip. Theory is among others summed up experience which is why it is so usefull.


Communism is about the PEOPLE, not about THE MUMMY.

Now what is this worthless statement supposed to mean? Of course communism is about people. It's about taking human society to the next level. If you really belived communism was about people you wouldn't be so insulting, it seems to me you think communism is about RAF making witty comments and playing king on a discussionboard.

But as you said yourself your not really interested in discussions:

Why bother to explain anything to an individual that subscribes to bourgeois revisionism of history?

Get a grip RAF, it's truely pathetic.

A great many people's works "still hold water" to some degree. Most theories, Marxism included, contain obsolete and useless material that must be adjusted to fir the modern era.

Anyone that does not recognise this is a fool.

Could you explain what exactly about Marxist and Leninist theory is obsolete and how Stalinism is more relevant today?

What adjustment to Marxism does Stalinism make?

"Stalinism" is simply Marxism and is therefore classified in my previous statement.

I find it odd that you would not be able to recognise that a complete revolutionary theory that is over a century old will have "issues" when re-applied to the modern struggle.

Our most specific example of course is the LTV.

Trotskism embodies the main theories of Lenin whilst also encompassing the theories of Permanent Revolution and many others.

I would hesitate to call Stalinism even an ideology, to do that would be to recognise it as a train of followable to any one who doesn't have character defects like severe paranoia and is grossly incapable of running a country by any other means then bullying. I can dig up my stats on the lies about Stalin again if you want.

Stalin killed Trotsky, his family and his friends. Stalin isn't worthy of anyone respect for anything, he destroyed the revolution and betrayed us all. His socialism in one country policies pretty much made the sucess of Communism doomed to anything but sucess.
