marxist-leninist

The ideology stemming from writers; Marx, Engels, Lenin.

MLs believe that a successful socialist revolution needs a vanguard party and that there needs to be a transitionary period where the bourgeosie are oppressed out of existance. This usually occurs through the seizure of private property, nationalization of industry, and bourgeois culture. The proleteriat via the vanguard party will create a workers state which will implement all of what's said above. Eventually the state will whither away as it becomes less needed usually when the threat of counter revolutionary behavior is gone, and then we will have communism, a stateless, classless, moneyless society.

You know MLs aren't red fascists right? They were instrumental in defeating them.

I am a Marxist-Leninist some of my favorite works are State and Rev and Imperialism by Lenin, along with Principles of Communism, and German Ideology.

Marxist-Leninist

One who follows the political philosophy or ideology of Stalin. Marxist-Leninists believe that Leninism is valid, and countries like the USSR are ready for Socialism (unlike Marx, who would've said otherwise), but there must be rapid growth in this nation (often with grave consequences...) in order to reach Marx's standard and hence rejoin the Orthodox Marxist path. Maoism, Castroism, Hoxhaism, and other hardcore Communist ideologies are derived from M-L.

Most Communist parties in the UK, like CPGB-ML, are Marxist-Leninist.
Marxism-Leninism is not Stalinism. Stalinism is what killed the people, and it's a way of enforcing M-L instead of an ideology in itself. Marxism-Leninism never killed or hurt anybody.

Marxist-Leninist Logico-Epistemology

A more orthodox and politically committed variant, associated with Soviet and Maoist traditions. It adds Lenin’s theory of reflection (knowledge as a copy of external reality) and the concept of partijnost’ (party‑mindedness) as an epistemic virtue: knowledge must serve the revolutionary movement. It often dismisses “bourgeois” logic (e.g., formal logic as metaphysical) and champions dialectical logic as superior. Marxist‑Leninist logico‑epistemology was used to justify state‑enforced scientific orthodoxies (e.g., Lysenkoism), making it controversial even among Marxists.

Marxist-Leninist Logico-Epistemology Example: “Her Marxist‑Leninist logico‑epistemology critique of Western genetics argued that its ‘neutrality’ masked class bias, but it ended up rejecting sound science for ideological conformity.”

leninism 

Leninism refers to various related political and economic theories elaborated by Bolshevik revolutionary leader Vladimir Lenin, and by other theorists who claim to be carrying on Lenin's work. Leninism builds upon and elaborates the ideas of Marxism, and serves as a philosophical basis for the ideology of Soviet Communism.
Leninism had become one of the dominant branches of Marxism since the establishment of the Soviet Union.

One of the central concepts of Leninism is the view that imperialism is the highest stage of the capitalist economic system.

discussing leninism 

This is a euphemism that two people I know use to hide the fact that they are actually just having sex.

"I heard Skye and RareŞ spent all night discussing Leninism."
"You realize that just means they were fucking, right?"

Bio-Leninism 

Deleuzian hypothesis that society is a conflict between the aesthetically-ugly and the capitally-successful.

Bio-Leninism is a transverse-Marxist (Deleuzian) connector of Foucalt (biopolitics) and Marx.

BioLeninism proffers that rather than a conflict between rich and poor; politics is a conflict between the rich and ugly.
