In the first week of July 1937 Orwell arrived back at Wallington ; on 13 July 1937 a deposition was presented to the Tribunal for Espionage & High Treason, Valencia, charging the Orwells with ' rabid Trotskyism ', and being agents of the POUM.

Among Stalin's contributions to Communist theoretical literature were " Dialectical and Historical Materialism ," " Marxism and the National Question ", " Trotskyism or Leninism ", and " The Principles of Leninism.

Many labor unions and workers ' parties worldwide were also influenced by Marxist ideas, while various theoretical variants, such as Leninism, Stalinism, Trotskyism, and Maoism, were developed from them.

These tendencies include Leninism, Stalinism, Trotskyism, Maoism, Luxemburgism, and libertarian Marxism.

Trotsky's ideas formed the basis of Trotskyism, a major school of Marxist thought that is opposed to the theories of Stalinism.

Early currents of libertarian Marxism, known as left communism, emerged in opposition to Marxism – Leninism and its derivatives, such as Stalinism, Maoism, and Trotskyism.

In post – Revolutionary Russia, Stalinism ( Socialism in one country ) and Trotskyism ( Permanent world revolution ) were the principal philosophies of Communism that claimed legitimate ideological descent from Leninism ' thus, within the Communist Party, each ideological faction denied the political legitimacy of the opposing faction.

Trotskyism ideologically predominated the political platform of the Left Opposition, which demanded the restoration of soviet democracy, the expansion of democratic centralism in the Communist Party, national industrialisation, international permanent revolution, and socialist internationalism.

Opposition to Stalin by Trotsky led to a dissident Bolshevik ideology called Trotskyism that was repressed under Stalin's rule.

Like the British New Left, they recognized problems in the communism of the Soviet Union, but unlike the British New Left, they did not turn to Trotskyism or social democracy.

Orthodox Trotskyism uses the term caste rather than class, because they saw the Soviet Union as a degenerated workers ' state, not a new class society.

After Lenin's death in 1924, Leninism branched into multiple ( sometimes opposing ) interpretations, including Trotskyism, Stalinism, and Maoism.

The Left Opposition in the Soviet Union gave rise to Trotskyism which was to remain isolated and insignificant for another fifty years, except in Sri Lanka, where Trotskyism gained the majority and the pro-Moscow wing was expelled from the Communist Party.

In foreign affairs the distinction between Trotskyism and Stalinism was even sharper.

** The Soviet Union executes 31 people for alleged Trotskyism.

The Conference, held in January 1924 just before Lenin's death, denounced Trotsky and Trotskyism.

Soon Ching-kuo was an enthusiastic student of Communist ideology, particularly Trotskyism ; though following the Great Purge, Joseph Stalin privately met with him and ordered him to publicly denounce Trotskyism.

Trotskyism is the theory of Marxism as advocated by Leon Trotsky.

In contemporary English language, an advocate of Trotsky's ideas is often called a " Trotskyist "; a Trotskyist can be called a " Trotskyite " or " Trot ", especially by a critic of Trotskyism.

American Trotskyist leader James P. Cannon, in his 1942 book History of American Trotskyism, wrote that " Trotskyism is not a new movement, a new doctrine, but the restoration, the revival of genuine Marxism as it was expounded and practiced in the Russian revolution and in the early days of the Communist International.

* Trotskyism, Fourth International

At the time of the founding of the Fourth International in 1938 Trotskyism was a mass political current in Vietnam, Sri Lanka and slightly later Bolivia.

Ideologically, Maoists, left communists, and anarchists all consider Trotskyism, and thus also the Fourth International, to be ideologically bankrupt and impotent.

Since the 1963 reunification, a number of approaches have developed within international Trotskyism towards the Fourth International.

However, the ICFI presents itself as the political continuity of the Fourth International and Trotskyism, not as the FI itself.

The Socialist Workers Party broke formally with the Fourth International in 1990 though it had been increasingly inactive in the Trotskyist movement since National Secretary Jack Barnes ' 1982 speech, " Their Trotsky and Ours ", which some view as signaling a break with Trotskyism.

As they regard both sides of the 1953 split in the Fourth International to have affirmed this stance, which they regard as a fundamental breach with Leninism and Trotskyism, and as they believe all the major forces having emerged from the Fourth International to be implementing this false ' processist ' methodology today, they call for a new Fifth International to be built by the working class forces fighting neoliberalism worldwide, including from the workers ' trade unions, parties and other forces participating in the World Social Forum and analogous continental formations like the Asian and European Social Forums.

It reiterated what it saw as the basic principles of Trotskyism and described the direction of the " Pabloite " faction as " revisionist ", claiming that this threatened the survival of the Fourth International, the liquidation of the Trotskyist program and definite steps taken towards its organisational liquidation.

They saw the SWP's decision as an abandonment of the most basic principles of the Fourth International, and of Trotskyism, and as an attempt to ingratiate itself to the growing middle class protest movement in the United States.

The Congress did not attempt to present the ICFI as ' the Fourth International ', rather it positioned the IC as a force that defended what it saw as the political continuity of Trotskyism and called for the ' rebuilding and reconstruction of the Fourth International '.

In the 1980s the Socialist Workers Party and its international supporters within the Fourth International ( FI ) broke from many of the traditional positions of Trotskyism, including the theory of Permanent Revolution, and embraced positions that marked a political convergence with the Cuban Communist Party and the Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional.
