Trotskyism was Leon Trotsky's philosophy that communism had to be achieved by permanent revolution in all countries. Karl Marx initially felt that no single country could survive as a communist country surrounded by capitalist countries and Trotsky agreed. Joseph Stalin believed that socialism )not communism at this point) should be firmly established on one country (Russia) first, then it could be advocated in others.

How do Trotskyism and communism differ?
Trotskyism is a strand of communist theory which does not have any real differences with the communism of people like Marx, Engels and Lenin. It does however, have a very great deal of difference with what people usually call communism, that is, Stalinism. One way they differ is on questions of democracy, Stalinism is of course very anti-democratic while Trotsky saw socialism and democracy as being inseperable.

What is cummunity?
Communism is an ideology that seeks to establish a future classless, stateless social organization, based upon common ownership of the means of production. It can be classified as a branch of the broader socialist movement. Early forms of human social organization have been described as 'primitive communism' by Marxists. However, communism as a political goal generally is a conjectured form of future social organization. There is a considerable variety of views among self-identified communists, including Maoism, Trotskyism, council communism, Luxemburgism, anarchist communism, Christian communism, and various currents of left communism, which are generally the more widespread varieties. However, various offshoots of the Soviet (what critics call the 'Stalinist') and Maoist interpretations of Marxism-Leninism comprise a particular branch of communism that has the distinction of having been the primary driving force for communism in world politics during most of the 20th century. The competing branch of Trotskyism has not had such a distinction

He developed Soviet paratroop units from c.1927 onwards, he stressed the importance of tanks and encouraged research into long range rockets already in the early 1930s.

What was the Stalin era?
Stalinism is a type of Communism that used totalitarian methods to keep control of it's people. Stalinism uses propaganda, secret police, and government control of the economy to enforce laws and keep control. It was used during Cold War when the Soviet Union was in power. It was first used by Joseph Stalin when he was the leader of the Soviet Union from 1928 to 1953. Stalinism is the belief that communism can ultimately be attained when socialism is first firmly established in one country. Stalinism is contrasted with Trotskyism, which is that there must be permanent revolution in all countries at all times whether or not firmly established anywhere. Stalinism is more removed from standard Marxism, because Marx felt that one communist country would never last if surrounded by capitalist countries.
