“Can somebody help me to find LC subject headings for: 1. Leo Tolstoy's followers that in Russian are called "tolstovtsy", were persecuted in the Soviet Union, up till now exist in Canada. (LC CIP gave to one of the books on the subject: Tolstoy...-appreciation, which is wrong.) 2. Trotzkism. Again when not personally Leo Trotzkii is described but the movement as a whole.”

“Is trotzkism still alife? ^([sic]) where and how? callesan”

“Since Marx was primarily concerned with interpreting the history of human society, but not with a theory about how to install a society which does away with the shortcomings which he detected, he was not a Socialist. Hence, the term "Marxism" is a necessary one. The terms "Leninism", "Stalinism" and "Trotzkism" are necessary, because they designate conflicting views on Socialism (Trotzki was assasinated in Mexico by Lenins emissaries, Stalinism was brandmarked after Stalin´s death). "Breznjewism" doesn´t exist, because Breznjew was a Leninist. "Gorbatschowism" doesn´t exist, because Gorbatschow is associated with "Glasnost" and "Perestroika".”

“As Einde posted somewhat embarressed^([sic]), this goes against one of the central tenets of Marxism/Leninism/Trotzkism.”

“I'm almost sure you're now mixing up Marxism-Leninism with what Marx (alone) wrote. There is also Trotzkism and Anarchism. It is difficult to delineate the territories here, but I'd be cautious to lump everything broadly under "Marxism".”
