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.

How Chinese communism relates to true communism?

There is little relation between the two, first off, true communism involves the working class having political power, not a party as in China. Secondly, there is little allowance of foreign trade (if at all) in true communism, because there can be no privatization, which would be completely the opposite of Marxist theory. Maybe you should rephrase your question: How does Maoism relate to Marxism.


Was Lenin a proletariat?

In a sense. He formed the type of communism known as Leninism, which can be considered a true form of communism. Lenin was not a true communist in the sense that the system he imposed in Russia was not communist at all. It was a mix of socialism and capitalism. In addition, he later imposed what was called "war communism" during the civil war and even that was not true communism. Later he imposed his New Economic Policy which permitted small businesses and peasant farms to be operated for personal profit subject to taxation, just as if those businesses and farms were capitalistic. He might have had hopes that a true Marxian communist society would come about, but he was just as oppressive as the Tsars before him were just so that he could keep control over the country.

What is the difference between imperialism communism?

Imperialism is a policy and involves a big nation conquering smaller nations to increase its wealth and power. Communism is a form of government, wherein everyone is equal, no true head of government exists, and everyone serves to help one another, instead of selling each other goods with economic greed in mind. Communism has never existed in this true form on a large scale, as most attempts have ended with a dictator at the top. Imperialism, on the other hand, was rampant for centuries, mostly at the hands of Spain and Britain.
