Trotskyism

Trotskyism is an authoritarian and  internationalist ideology focusing on the political ideals Soviet revolutionary Leon Trotsky. It is distinguished in the belief that intervening in foreign countries to help establish socialism in them is the primary duty of a socialist state.

Beliefs
Trotskyism's main belief is the "Permanent Revolution", which is the belief that communist states need to spread the ideals of Marxism and  Communism in general whenever possible and however they can try to incite revolutions against capitalism in those countries. They should do this until " Capitalism" ceases to be.

Another important Trotskyism's belief is the theory of "Degenerated Workers' State". According to it, a Dictatoship of Proletariat may develop a powerful caste of state bureaucrats, which will seize the power from the workers. Such a state will be unable to progress further towards higher-stage Communism, and without any political revolution to overthrow the Bureaucracy it will eventually slide back to  Capitalism.

Trotskyism also maintains as being in the camp of "Anti- Stalinist"/"Anti-Soviet" camp, and such it generally aligns itself with people on the  libertarian left and the moderate left than with other extreme authoritarian left ideologies.
