Stalin's interpretation of Marxism-Leninism was based on a belief in the need for a strong, centralized state apparatus to actively guide the development of a socialist society. He believed in the need to maintain a strong military and police force to protect the interests of the state, as well as a strict ideological commitment to Lenin's teachings. He also saw the need to develop heavy industry and the collectivization of agriculture in order to create a strong working class, and he encouraged the development of a one-party state to ensure the stability of the system. Finally, Stalin saw the need to use terror and repression to maintain control, and he believed that this was necessary in order to ensure the success of the socialist revolution.

What is Marxism-Leninism and how or why did it stir passions in the US?
Marxism-Leninism is often regarded as synonymous with communism. In the West we tend to use the label Marxism-Leninism interchangeably with communism. In fact, Marxism-Leninism refers to a specific ideology of communism which was codified by Joseph Stalin after Lenin's death. The term is not synonymous either with Marxism or communism but persists in being used that way. Passions are stirred because any form of communism is anathema to the West.Karl Marx, the Father of communism, in 1848 proposed that communism would be the final stage in the evolution of human society: a classless, stateless society. Vladimir Lenin was one of the strongest proponents of Marxist ideals. After the Bolshevik revolution in Russia in 1917, Lenin built upon and elaborated the ideas of Marx, creating what eventually came to be called Leninism. Leninism served as the basis for Soviet communism. After Stalin consolidated his rule in the Soviet Union, Marxism-Leninism was declared the official ideology of the state and remained so for Stalin's lifetime.As a title, the term Marxist-Leninist is sometimes used by one communist party which wishes to sound more "orthodox" than some other ("revisionist") communist party.Since the socioeconomic basis of democracy as we practice it in the West is capitalism, and capitalism's polar opposite is communism, there has been an overheated clash of ideologies ever since the publication of Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto in 1848. In the West, communism in any form is to the present day considered the lethal enemy of freedom and democracy, and thus stirs considerable anti-communist (Marxist-Leninist) fury. The US and other western democracies spent most of the 20th Century furiously fighting communism/Marxism-Leninism, sometimes in actual "hot" warfare as in Korea and Vietnam.Communism or Marxism-Leninism seem less of a threat today since the breakup of the Soviet Union and the rise of capitalism as an economic system even in Communist China.

Why did Stalin kill all of the old Bolsheviks?
He didn't. There are a lot of myths around Stalin's legacy, mostly invented to discredit Marxism-Leninism. Some of the Old Bolsheviks did end up being traitors, some even in collaboration with the Nazis (an extremely anti-Bolshevik group) and were executed for it, as it was a time of war, and that is a typically acceptable punishment for treason in most countries. However, Lazar Moiseyevich Kaganovich and Vyacheslav Mikhailovich Molotov are two Old Bolsheviks who outlived Stalin, and even in the face of Khrushchev's lies and murderous revisionist polices remain faithful to Stalin and the ideology of Marxism-Leninism until their deaths.
