Bolshevik-Leninism
/ Leninism (Trotsky's definition) / Marxist theories used by the original Bolsheviks (Trotskyism) -> use to mark highly specific definitions of "Leninism" in Trotskyist texts. all Trotskyist definitions of Leninism are this, and all non-Trotskyist definitions are not.

Stalin's Marxism isn't Leninism
/ He calls it Marxism-Leninism, but it isn't really Leninism / Stalin's "Marxism" isn't a Marxist tendency; it is something other than Marxism (sense) / (9k)
Stalinism is a Thermidorian negation
/ Stalinists were Soviet Thermidor / Stalinism begins when older forms of society crush the proletarian revolution (Trotskyism) / Stalinism is a Thermidorian negation of Bolshevism; this is to imply it is similar to when the Jacobins were defeated in the French Revolution [1]
Stalin's Marxism is over -> [old] ~~had some vanishing chance of being true in 1940, not very believable these days~~
Trotskyism is over -> [old] why is it that all Trotskyists refuse to believe this while most or all mainstream Marxist-Leninists believe it and about half of all center-Liberals and Existentialists believe it? this should be less controversial than "Bolshevism is over". if Trotskyism isn't materially possible but mainstream Marxism-Leninism is, you'd think that nearly everyone would be unanimous about the first part of that, because advocating for Trotskyism isn't advantageous to either Existentialists or mainstream Marxist-Leninists.
Trotskyism is over -> so........ it's not. successful or unsuccessful, it's less dead than Stalinist parties.
