==Trotskyism==

Also known as "social fascism" and the "theory of the Permanent Revolution." Named for its founder, [[Leon Trotsky]] believed that Lenin's pre-1917 idea of the "[[dictatorship of the proletariat]]" needed to be re-worded to emphasize the importance of the proletariat's leadership in such an alliance, because the [[peasant]]ry were [[dialectical]]ly less capable of leadership. In order to finish a socialist revolution, the revolution would have to be world-wide. This is in sharp contrast to [[Stalin]]'s idea of "socialism in one country"; Trotsky felt that if a socialist nation-state was isolated, it would soon be destroyed by outside imperialist forces. Trotsky emphasized the importance of soviets (independent councils of workers) and the idea that a communist society will be a "workers' democracy." After Stalin took power Trotsky classified the Soviet Union as a "degenerated workers state" and the [[Soviet Communist Party]] as "bureaucratic centralist."  Trotskites considered the Soviet degenerated workers state to be more "[[progressive]]" than Western capitalist states, however, another revolution was necessary to unseat the Stalinists, who would destroy the workers state until it became fully capitalist.
