I’ve never come across anyone who calls themselves a “Stalinist.” Maybe that’s what some horseshoe theorists call Marxist-Leninists.

Hoxhaists called their ideology Stalinism often

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I’ve never run into one myself. ProleWiki/Lemmygrad user Wisconcom was before my time.

A self-proclaimed Hoxhaist (although he would later start calling himself a Marxist-Leninist-Maoist, anti-revisionist, or a Marxist-Leninist-Stalinist... and eventually claimed he was never a Hoxhaist as Hoxhaism “does not exist”) […]

Incredible mind palace.

The modern revisionists and reactionaries call us Stalinists, thinking that they insult us and, in fact, that is what they have in mind. But, on the contrary, they glorify us with this epithet; it is an honor for us to be Stalinists for while we maintain such a stand the enemy cannot and will never force us to our knees.

What would it even mean?

Kinda like Marxism-Leninism, but in a one-man cult-of-personality police state and if you as much as look funny at the leader, you get disappeared/shot?

In other words, what's happening to the USA minus the Marxism-Leninism?

The only people I call Stalinist are people who intentionally go about delaying or postponing things. They gotta quit stalin for time.
