- To what extent was the Communist Party ideologically divided in the period 1924-28?
- New Economic Policy - BIG DIVISIONS
- Bukharin wanted to keep the NEP - it was providing food and work for the proletariat - wanted to create an alliance with peasants and workers. - also allowed peasants to make money on free market (ECONOMY GROW WITH NEP)
- SOCIALISM AT 'SNAIL PACE' - alliance of worker & peasants disrupted with taxes. industry will grow, but slowly.
- STALIN AGREED WITH BUKHARIN - that NEP was good but more concerned with industrilatsation
- SOCIALISM AT 'SNAIL PACE' - alliance of worker & peasants disrupted with taxes. industry will grow, but slowly.
- STALIN NOT INVOLVED IN DEBATE OF NEP - meant he could win support from both parties!
- Trotsky wanted to ABOLISH the NEP - hated that much of the industry wasnt under the gov control ALSO that communism wasnt wide spread & wanted to end inequality with kulacks and peasants WANTED COLLECTIVE FARMING
- WANTED A FULLY SOCIALIST PARTY - NEP was a compromise fo capitalism - trostky did not want this! he wanted to impose a 'dictorship industry' (meant imposing high taxes on peasants to fund indutrilisation)
- STALIN NOT INVOLVED IN DEBATE OF NEP - meant he could win support from both parties!
- Bukharin wanted to keep the NEP - it was providing food and work for the proletariat - wanted to create an alliance with peasants and workers. - also allowed peasants to make money on free market (ECONOMY GROW WITH NEP)
- WORLD REVOLUTION?
- TROSTKY - permanent revolution, wanted other countries to provide resources to fund socialism.
- BUKHARIN - 'socialism in one country' (BACKED BY STALIN) thought this was view Lenin held. thought it would be successful over alliance wit workers & peasants. - appealing as it played Russian nationalism
- FUTURE REVOLUTION?
- TROTSKY - wanted party beauracy (lenin critical of this)
- STALIN shared fear of seeing trostky as potential dictator - like french revolution which lenin did not like.
- New Economic Policy - BIG DIVISIONS
