Stalinism
A name given to adherents of - the Marxism proclaimed by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), when it was governed by Stalin. Sometimes alleged to characterise all people who sympathise with Stalin, from a Marxist perspective.
It is often regarded as a slur by supporters of Stalin, and the official USSR term 'Marxism-Leninism' is preferred. However, using this term is still common among other currents of Marxism. Due to the highly oppressive nature of Stalin's regime, people who view Marxism as a form of popular liberation will use this term to dissociate from those who support Stalin.
