Anti-Stalinism is opposition to Joseph Stalin, his ideas, his legacy, and Marxism–Leninism more broadly. Anti-Stalinism is an extension of anti-communism, although some anti-Stalinists such as Trotskyists and "left"-communists claim to be communists. Some anti-revisionists[a] object to the word "Stalinism", but they are not anti-Stalinist.
A materialist analysis of the past several decades shows that anti-Stalinism (and De-Stalinization more broadly) led to the weakening of the international communist movement and the eventual degeneration of the socialist camp. It's also not a coincidence that anti-Stalinism was used to justify revisionist and opportunist positions. Trotskyism, which had been defeated as an ideology, made a comeback after Khrushchev's "secret speech". Khrushchev himself was an ardent Trotskyist.[1]
