Closest ideologies

De LeonismA Marxist strategy from Daniel De Leon: win socialism through elections while industrial unions take over the workplaces, so that the unions replace the old political state as the new form of government.
State SocialismThe state owns and directs the main industries and services and uses that control to deliver equality and full employment.
Democratic SocialismWants to replace much of capitalism with social ownership, but only through elections, a free press and democratic institutions, never through revolution or a one-party state.
StalinismThe system built under Joseph Stalin: socialism in one country, rapid state-led industrialisation, collectivised farming, a personality cult and the harsh repression of political opponents.
