Political thought of Joseph Stalin

More about the book

Stalinism, governing from 1927 to 1953 under Joseph Stalin, introduced policies like rapid industrialization and collectivization of agriculture, establishing a totalitarian state. It emphasized socialism in one country and prioritized the Communist Party of the Soviet Union over foreign communist parties. The regime escalated class conflict through state violence, targeting perceived "enemies," including the bourgeoisie and dissenting working-class individuals. This approach aimed to purge society of threats to the communist revolution, resulting in significant political violence and persecution.
