11. What are the differences between Trotskyism and Stalinism?

Stalinism: Derived from the policies and ideology of Joseph Stalin, Stalinism is the ‘conservative’ side of Communism. It placed an emphasis on the power of the State, stating that it must become bigger before it can dissolve, and the subversion of ‘rebellious intent.’ It focused on rapid industrialization in a planned fashion, the forced collectivization of agriculture, removal of the kulaks (wealthy landowners) and a system of continual ‘purges’ to keep the State ‘pure.’ Is often seen as a dictatorship due to the over-concentration of power in the State and the power of one man in this system.

Trotskyism: Molded from the speeches and works of Leon Trotsky, Trotskyism was the ‘liberal’ side of Communism. Trotskyism argued for the need of a ‘Permanent Revolution’ in states that had not adopted democratic ideals, stating that the proletariat were to take up the burden of instituting revolution in those nations. There was to be no cooperation with capitalist nations and no compromises, it was Communism or nothing at all. Later devolved into a critique of Stalinism with the publication of The Revolution Betrayed, arguing that the Soviet Union under Stalin had devolved into a "bureaucratically degenerated workers' state." He saw Soviet Russia as no better than an authoritarian dictatorship, the centralization of the State bureaucracy taking power from the proletariat rather than giving it.
