No, Stalin's form of communism is called Stalinism, and so it is different in many ways, Marxism has complete control of politics, the economy and foreign affairs in the peoples hands, this includes law making and voting. So it is true direct democracy, but with equality as the underlying principle, meaning, no more rich controlling peoples ideas and emotions through authoritarianism. Stalin's was a form of totalitarianism, with fear police and a completely centralized government, in a nutshell, these are some major differences.
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.
The US has a long history of democracy coupled with capitalism. The form of communism practied in prior times was actually Stalinism and was similar in practice to totalitarianism. The US believes that each citizen should live in a free country where the government is elected by the people from a variety of choices offered to them. The form of communism that was practiced put the needs of the government over the needs of the people and certainly above the needs of the individual.
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.
Completely unrelated. Communism is an economic form. Terrorism has quite a few definitions, but none of them are economic. I would say that terrorism is a tactical doctrine. There is no comparison between these two concepts. Terrorism is nothing only used to stike fear communism is econamic who ever said communism Vs terrorism knows nothing
