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. It usually represents Stalin's theoretical contributions, while Stalin's actions taken as leader of the Soviet Union are usually referred to as Stalinism.

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 which 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 most known enemies against 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.

Russian Revolution
The Russian Revolution was a revolution that formed the first Marxist-Leninist country by eliminating Tsar Nicholas II in 1917. Before the revolution, Russia was in a complicated situation, high social inequalities, lack of freedom, absolutism, extreme poverty, illiteracy, remnants of feudalism, backwardness compared to other countries, exhausting work with several hours and among countless other problems. One of the first oppositions emerged with the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party (RSDLP) of a Marxist and democratic socialist nature founded by Vladimir Lenin, but ended up being considered illegal by the Empire, in which Lenin ended up fleeing to other European countries. Subsequently, the party split into two wings, the more radical Bolsheviks (Russian "Majority") and the more moderate Mensheviks (Russian "Minority").

The empire was already losing popularity among the people, in which there were protests in 1905 in Saint Petersburg, but it was violently repressed with the imperial guard shooting and killing hundreds, in what became known as Bloody Sunday. After the massacre, the people were furious against the tsar, culminating in the revolution of 1905, causing the tsar to create the Duma (parliament) as a way to alleviate the situation, allowing parties, in which the St. . Many historians claim that the revolution of 1905 was a "rehearsal" for that of 1917. In 1907, some revolutionaries were arrested or had to flee (like Lenin, again). way to calm the protests and increase patriotism against an outside enemy, but it was a disaster due to the high number of casualties and the death of 1,600,000-1,800,000 soldiers, destroying what was left of Russia (economy, infrastructure, quality of life, etc was completely destroyed), causing the tsar himself to command the army in 1915 leaving his wife to rule the country, in which they accused her of treason for being German and also of the Romanov family being influenced by Grigori Rasputin, being assassinated in 1916. numerous protests, rebellions and increased tensions, in which there was a demonstration in 1917, in which the guard was called to repress, but ended up allying with the protesters, which in March of the same year took place the Revolution of February (calendar difference), overthrowing the Tzar and the monarchs. A provisional government formed by the Duma and led by Alexander Kerensky was formed, in addition to the influence of the Petrograd Soviet (dual power). Kerensky's provisional government ended up granting amnesty to political prisoners and establishing a democracy with a secret vote, but continued into World War I, in which at the behest of the German government to destabilize Russia, Lenin returned to Russia, promising "Peace, Land and Bread". ", that in October of the same year, there was the October Revolution, overthrowing the provisional government and Lenin taking power. The Bolsheviks became the communist party and took measures in this direction, in addition to exiting the First World War, which, even losing the elections, remained in power and repressed opponents (turning into a dictatorship).

Several opponents of Lennin, some ex-Mensheviks, pro-church and pro-empire formed the white army, while the communists formed the red army led by Leon Trotsky. The white army took most of the country (Siberia), but the whites it had several internal divergences, the red army took the smallest part (the European part), but the was "better part", in which it had more industries, population, a better climate, etc. and it had few internal divergences. There were also Greens who were against everyone and wanted centrism and Blacks who were anarchists, who took Ukraine but later supported the Reds. There was also the execution of the Romanov family. Both sides committed massacres and atrocities, known as White Terror and Red Terror. There was the consolidation of the USSR, there were the so-called revolutionary courts that tried, arrested or executed the "counter-revolution".

After the revolution, communism began to take influence, parties and movements in Europe, bringing the first red fear, eventually electing fascist and anti-communist leaders later. There are currently several debates and controversies regarding the Russian Revolution, with some extolling Lenin as a liberator of the oppressed from capitalism, others as a genocidal dictator who led the Russian people to misery and others considering him as a state capitalist because of the NEP.

[[File:JosephStalin.png]] Joseph Stalin
After Joseph Stalin came to power, he soon consolidated power and won the power struggle against the left dissents ( Trotskyists) and right dissents ( Bukharinists. He later enacted the policy of  Great Purge and massively cleansed his political opponents with estimably 700k to 1.2 million fell victims. Despite being considered the leader of ‘centre’ (no relation to Centrist Marxism) faction of the CPSU, Stalin enacted a similar economic platform of 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. The Kazakh Famine happened with 1.5 to 2.3 million perished. Stalin’s totalitarian regime enforced Lysenko’s pseudo-science theory and implemented the so-called ‘anti-parasite laws’ with Forced labor that punished people for ‘poor labor disciplines’ and ‘laziness’ and gulags. It was noted that there was a rise in wages that happened by late 1930s after real wages declined to 60% of pre-1928 level in the early 1930s.

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 the trade with outside world. In 1939, Stalin decided to do a deal with the Devil as the USSR entered a treaty with Nazi Germany, known as the Molotov Ribbentrop Pact, which would see Nazi Germany annexing Western Poland with the USSR taking the eastern part and the Baltics. Meanwhile, the Finnish soldiers bravely defended their country against Soviet annexation in the Winter War and successfully repelled the offensive of the Soviet invaders, partially due to the lack of logistics of the post-purge USSR military.

Stalin didn’t believe that the Nazis would honor the treaty, but rather used it as a gamble for Nazi Germany and the west to fight against each other. The gamble backfired; the Nazis launched Operation Barbarossa and stormed the USSR’s borders with the most massive war front in human history-Eastern Front. The Soviet soldiers and generals bravely defended their motherland under the command of the helmsman Joseph Stalin, which was commonly known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia and other post-Soviet countries. The Soviet people used blood to defend their land against Nazi invasion and launched a massive counter-offensive to retake Eastern Europe with over 10 million Soviet soldiers scarified on the battlefield and at least 4 million genocided by the Nazis in the Holocaust. The Soviet anti-fascist war effort was also greatly helped by the opening of the Western Front and the American land lease under  FDR’s administration. In the meanwhile, secret orders were instructed by Stalin to Beria to conduct ethnocides against the ethnic minorities in the USSR as part of the deportation process.

After the Allied triumph in World War 2 against Fascism, another famine happened in Ukraine, known as the 1946-1947 Famine. However, it would be the last major famine of Eastern Europe. Stalin soon plundered the Eastern European countries into satellite states and began the Cold War along with his western counterparts Harry S Truman,  Winston Churchill and later his successor,  Clement Attlee. The USSR rose to a superpower with satellites launched into the space and nuclear bombs.

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 destroyed Stalin’s cult of personality that he helped to set up. Though the shadow of Stalinism 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 Russia and some post-Soviet countries such as Georgia and Belarus, Stalin remained a highly controversial figure internationally, with most western scholars and his critics denouncing him for being a totalitarian paranoid power hungry tyrant who was responsible for the deaths of at least millions and up to tens of millions and genocides. 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.

[[File:Brezhnev.png]] Leonid Brezhnev
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 Stalin, 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 in 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. As such Brezhnev believed in economic intergration 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 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.

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 to Marxist-Leninist states. 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.

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:Castro.png]] Cuba [[File:FidelCastro.png]][[File:RaulCastro.png]]
Prior to 1959, Cuba was ruled by Batista, an  authoritarian capitalist dictatorship. From 1959-1960, Fidel Castro and other communists started the Cuban Revolution and overthrew Batista. Fidel Castro was made the new leader of Cuba. In 1961, the United States attempted to overthrow Castro but failed miserably in the Bay of Pigs Invasion, causing them to start using undercover operations  to try and kill Castro. In 1962, the United States discovered Soviet missiles in Cuba and thus began the Cuban Missile Crisis. The United States said these missiles were illegal and violated international law, though this was hypocritical as they had stationed missiles in Turkey. After the Cuban Missile Crisis ended a week after it started, the US would keep trying to assassinate Castro all up until his death in 2016 by natural causes. During the Cuban Missile Crisis, Castro reportedly asked Khrushchev to launch nukes to strike the USA, which can be seen as a form of  Posadism.

[[File:Hochi.png]] Vietnam [[File:HoChiMinh.png]]
Ho Chi Minh Thought is an Authoritarian Left ideology which applies the characteristics of  Marxism–Leninism to  (North) Vietnam. Although named after him, Ho Chi Minh Thought is not based exclusively on Ho Chi Minh's ideas, as it is also based on the ideas of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV), and may include ideas espoused by the CPV, even if they differ from, or build upon Ho Chi Minh's own ideas. It is centered around values such as national liberation, class liberation, independence, and a revolutionary attitude.

[[File:Đổi Mới.png]] Đổi Mới
Đổi Mới which means "renovation" or "innovation" in Vietnamese is the name given to the economic reforms initiated by the Communist Party of Vietnam during the 1980s with the supposed goal of creating a "socialist-oriented market economy".

The father of Đổi Mới is said to be Nguyễn Văn Linh who was the general secretary of the CPV from 1986 to 1991. Nguyễn Văn Linh could be seen as the Vietnamese equivalent to Hu Yaobang and Zhao Ziyang as he liberalized the Vietnamese economy and politics. While Đổi Mới was officially introduced at the 6th National Congress of the CPV in 1986, the Vietnamese government had allowed decentralization of economic decision-making since 1979.

One of the most important advocates for Đổi Mới was Võ Văn Kiệt who served as Prime Minister of Vietnam from 1991 to 1997. Võ Văn Kiệt can be seen as Vietnam's equivalent of Deng Xiaoping as he oversaw his nation's return to the world arena after decades of war and isolation and normalized relations with the US, ending 20 years of formal mutual enmity and American embargo after the fall of Saigon. Võ Văn Kiệt's advocacy for privatization and deregulation of the economy was met with much criticism from more conservative Party members and the CPV just like its Chinese counterpart became plagued by power struggles and factionalism between reformists and conservative members.

In the early 1990s, under Võ Văn Kiệt, Vietnam accepted World Bank reform advice for market liberalization and the number of private enterprises increased, and investment from foreign corporations was encouraged thus moving Vietnam further and further away from Ho Chi Minh's vision of a communist society.

As a result of vast privatization and economic reforms, Vietnam underwent a miraculous economic transformation in the 1990s. However, massive inequality, negative environmental effects, lack of social welfare, exploitation by both domestic and foreign corporations, and high levels of corruption and nepotism still plague Vietnam to this day.

During the 2000s the CPV, just like its Chinese counterpart under  Jiang Zemin and Zhu Rongji, came to be largely dominated by "right-leaning" politicians such as  Nguyễn Tấn Dũng, Nguyễn Minh Triết, and Trương Tấn Sang, who advocated for an  authoritarian capitalist form of government with economic growth being prioritized over equality and welfare. During the Premiership of Nguyễn Tấn Dũng (2006-2016), human rights deteriorated significantly and Vietnam became one of the most dangerous countries for journalists.

In 2011 Nguyễn Phú Trọng became the General Secretary of the CPV and the most powerful man in the country. Nguyễn Phú Trọng bares many similarities with China's Xi Jinping due to his outspoken disdain for his fellow party members' loss of "Marxist-Leninist virtue, " increase in censorship, persecution of human rights activists and political dissidents. Nguyễn Phú Trọng in a similar manner to Xi managed to consolidate power through a large-scale anti-corruption campaign against political opponents without enacting any judicial reform. The CPV under the regime of Nguyễn Phú Trọng's government has in recent times faced a lot of controversy over its handling of the Covid19 pandemic. Although Vietnam's response to the pandemic has received international acclaim for its effectiveness to stop the spread of the virus it has been met with much criticism at home for imposing strict and inhumane lockdowns which many Vietnamese citizens perceive as another move by the CPV to maintain its dictatorship.

Kaysone Phomvihane Thought builds upon  Marxism-Leninism and  Ho Chi Minh Thought developed by Kaysone Phomvihane, the first leader of the  Lao People's Revolutionary Party and is a variant of Marxism-Leninism adapted to circumstances and special time peiods of  Laos. It includes views on the issues of basic principles of the Laotian Revolution, specifically the application and development of Marxism-Leninism to the material conditions of Laos.

[[File:Pinksoc.png]] Neo-Marxism-Leninism
Neo-Marxism-Leninism, Pink Socialism or Communism of Generation Z, is based on the views of some modern ML political movements and some digital influencers, combining "woke" beliefs and aesthetics with ML economic policies. They usually use social networks like Twitter, Tumblr, TikTok, and YouTube among others. Mostly they preach the end of capitalism for supposedly capitalizing on and oppressing the LGBT community, having inherent racism, among other things. They preach rights and some laws that favor women, LGBTQ, blacks, overweight, trans and non-binary people, indigenous people, etc. They are strong opponents of conservatism and centrism acknowledging that centrism is ultimately in the interests of the status quo and the bourgeois class.

Cultural Beliefs
Marxism Leninism, is (at least in theory), a culturally neutral/variable ideology, with 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,  Beirut, and  Mao. There are some culturally centre-right Marxist-Leninists, such as Brezhnev,  Kim (Jong-Il), and  Husak, while others such as  Stalin, and  Ho had culturally Centre left positions, while others still  Khrushchev,  Castro,  Kim (Il-Sung) and  Tito are culturally centre/syncretic/ambiguous. But Marxist Leninists usually lean towards culturally left positions.
