Compare with another entity →

Trotskyism is a Marxist political tendency derived from the theoretical and political positions of Leon Trotsky, developed in opposition to the Stalinist direction of the Soviet Communist Party after the mid-1920s. It originated in the Soviet Union and subsequently spread through affiliated parties and groupings across Europe, the Americas, Asia, and elsewhere throughout the 20th century and into the present. Its principal associations are with the concept of permanent revolution, the theory of the degenerated workers' state, and the advocacy for a Fourth International founded in 1938 as an alternative to the Communist International.
