Marxism–Leninism

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

Marxism–Leninism (alternatively known as State Marxism, State Socialism, or just Communism) is an authoritarian, economically far left, usually culturally left, and internationalist ideology. It is based on Joseph Stalin's ideological synthesis of Orthodox Marxism and Leninism, although many Marxist-Leninist leaders, such as Fidel Castro and Nikita Khrushchev, opposed Joseph Stalin.

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 Capitalism,  Anarcho-Communism,  Conservatism,  Liberalism and  Fascism.

Founding
Marxism-Leninism, despite what the name may suggest, was founded as an ideology by Joseph Stalin after the death of  Vladimir Lenin. It was created as a synthesis of the ideas of Marx, Engels, and Lenin.

 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 ) 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  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 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.

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

WIP

 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 Eurocommunism and 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" WIP

 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

WIP

 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.

[[File:Cball-EastGermany.png]] Germany [[File:GermanStalin.png]][[File:WalterUlbricht.png]][[File:ErichHonecker.png]][[File:Krenz.png]]
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.

[[File:Cball-PRPoland.png]] Poland [[File:Bierut.png]][[File:PZPR.png]][[File:Gomułka.png]][[File:Gierek.png]][[File:Jaruzelski.png]]
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.

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.

[[File:Neostalin.png]] Neo-Stalinism
Neostalinism is an ideology used to represent the followers of Stalin in the modern age. It is an anti-revisionist ideology, influenced by Hoxhaism. Contrary to the belief of many people, figures such as Brezhnev and Kim Jong-il were not supported by most Neo-Stalinists, despite using aesthetics and methods originating in the Stalinist area, their economics and general political system is viewed as revisionist by most neo-stalinists who derive a lot of their work from Hoxha. He is stereotyped as being someone who would be willing to deny and defend the actions of Stalin such as gulags, purges of his political enemies, forced deportations of “the enemies of the state”, famines as a result of mismanagement of resources, and Lysenkoism, which people who are opposed to Stalin would consider abhorrent, to defend.

Cultural Beliefs
Marxism Leninism, is (at least in theory), a culturally neutral/variable ideology, due to it describing economic and state positions, but not cultural ones. However, despite this, many Marxist Leninists, both historic and present, have tended to shift towards culturally left positions, such as state atheism, feminism, and the elimination of traditional values, prime examples of this can be seen in Lenin,  Sankara,  Pauker,  Kadar,  Honecker,  Gottwald,  Jaruzelski,  Ulbricht,  Hoxha,  Habash,  Thalmann,  Mao. There are some culturally centre-right Marxist-Leninists, such as Brezhnev,  Kim (Jong-Il), and  Husak, while others such as  Stalin,  Khrushchev, and  Ho Chi Minh had culturally Centre left positions, while others still  Castro,  Kim (Il-Sung) and  Tito are culturally centre/syncretic/ambiguous. But Marxist Leninists usually lean towards culturally left positions.
