Talk:Two-stage theory

No explanation
The article does not explain the reason why a state should go through these two stages. Can a volunteer communist explain it please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.170.152.74 (talk) 17:56, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

Why?
Pretty thin explanation and not much of an article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.175.79.154 (talk) 05:43, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Stalinist or Marxist
To prevent an edit war, let's use this space to determine what moniker should be used to describe the theory, Marxist or Stalinist. Given that the source listed (Footnote 1) explicitly calls it Stalinist, it appears to me that using anything else would be original research. As encylopedists, we are limited to solely reporting what others have said on the subject. I'm wondering what verifiable source exists that lists Two Stage Theory as a Marxist idea. -Achowat (talk) 13:50, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

I think you may have misread the citation
Stalinism is only listed in the citation because it's an encyclopedia, and "stalinism" comes after "stagism" in the encyclopedia.

In 1998, Doug Lorimer has published a book called "Trotsky's Theory of Permanent Revolution: a Leninist crritique", which is Stagist and anti-Stalinist. Calling Stagism Stalinist ignores this rather important theoretician who is stagist and not stalinist.

 * That does appear to be the case. Without any opposing source (from the "Encyclopedia of Marxist terms"), it appears that 'Marxist' is the way to go.

What does Rojava have to do with any of this?
I find it strange that the page for Rojava is linked to in the See Also for this page. BetweenCupsOfTea (talk) 08:34, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Could you Dumb Down the definition please?
A lot of students in high school use this page to find definitions. The writer used other terms that some may not know to describe Stagism. Please clearly explain this with simpler diction choice. It is like trying to learn how to write before learning the ABCs. 109.129.172.201 (talk) 20:41, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
