Marxism-Leninism
Where it comes from
Borrowed from Russian марксизм-ленинизм (marksizm-leninizm). By surface analysis, Marxism + Leninism.
proper noun
-
A communist ideological stream that emerged as the mainstream tendency amongst the Communist parties in the 1920s as it was adopted as the ideological foundation of the Communist International during Stalin's era, and was later adopted by the People's Republic of China, Cuba, Vietnam, and several other nations.
Meanwhile, “Mao Zedong Thought”, which originated in the 1930s, continues rhetorically to be recognised as one of the party’s guiding principles, an extension of Marxism-Leninism tweaked for China.
Similar: Bolshevism, Stalinism
