Hi, Stalinism is a form of totalitarianism. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 07:55, 12 August 2016 (UTC)


 * I replied to that point on your talk page. RandomScholar30 (talk) 08:08, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

Stalinism is a form of totalitarianism, true, but totalitarianism does not= Stalinism
You are correct that Stalinism is sometimes considered totalitarian, but it is not all of totalitarianism. So defining totalitarianism as equaling Stalinism is inappropriate. It would be like defining psychology as Freudism because Freudism is a form of psychology. Freudism is a form of psychology, but it is not all of psychology, so defining psychology as Freudian psychology in the dictionary entry would be inappropriate. Stalinism is a form of totalitarianism, but it is not all of totalitarianism. There have been Anti-Stalinists, such as Hitler and Trotsky, who were totalitarians. So defining Stalinism as all of totalitarianism does not make sense. It would be like if in the Freudianism entry we defined Freudianism as psychology.

 * I oppose your controversial edit. Feel free to open a discussion in the Tea Room. Also, no point spreading a discussion into multiple talk pages. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 08:20, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I did not post to any talk page other than yours. I only posted on mine to say my reply was going to be on your talk page rather than mine. RandomScholar30 (talk) 08:29, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
 * You're new here, so I'm explaining how we normally work. You can me to get my attention. Pls consider moving the discussion back to your page. I would, if I were using my desktop computer. WT:TR is the place to discuss senses, since someone (me) found your edit controversial. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 08:34, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
