Stalinism - Totalitarian communism based on the political methods of Joseph Stalin. Power is exclusively in the hands of the Communist Party, which is organized on rigidly hierarchical lines. The leader is presented, by state propaganda, as the selfless and benevolent parent of the nation. Economic policy is based on enforced industrialization and the collectivization of agriculture. The general population is controlled by a vast bureaucracy and all opposition and internal debate is ruthlessly repressed by the secret police.


Marxism - Like other socialists, Marx and Engels sought an end to capitalism and the systems which they perceived to be responsible for the exploitation of workers. But whereas earlier socialists often favored longer-term social reform, Marx and Engels believed that popular revolution was all but inevitable, and the only path to socialism.
Marxism holds that a process of class conflict and revolutionary struggle will result in victory for the proletariat and the establishment of a communist society in which private ownership is abolished over time and the means of production and subsistence belong to the community. Marx himself wrote little about life under communism, giving only the most general indication as to what constituted a communist society. It is clear that it entails abundance in which there is little limit to the projects that humans may undertake. In the popular slogan that was adopted by the communist movement, communism was a world in which each gave according to their abilities, and received according to their needs.

It was probably more for the people who lived at that time in the steel cage. It was meant for us. Marxism was what Stalin called his system but it was really a tyranny disguised in communist garb. At the time the choice was either the steel cage of the west or the tyrrany of the east. Huxley saw this and wrote about it in an alegorical form.

fascism. The caste-like structure of Brave New world, where some are born to lead and others to work, would find it's closest parallel in the right wing philosophy of fascism.

Marxism reads very well; however, practically it cannot work. Stalin learned this early and changed it to suit his evil objective.

Marxist communism is an idealistic society with no government and everyone works for each others benefit. Stalinist communism was actually a totalitarian dictatorship under the guise of communism.
