Honest question is there any evidence of any contemporary real life (not talking about online forums) political parties, that self-describes their political orientation with the primary identity label "stalinism"? Or is it just a pejorative used by trotzkyists? Like a fictional straw man baddie they can rally against and feel morally superior. Again not talking about people defending historical Stalinist politics. I'm asking if the label is always and solely used from the outside.

Stalin definitely did not call himself "Stalinist", but Marxist Leninist. Hoxhaists come close, but they would probably identify as "anti-revisionist Marxist Leninist" (or just "Hoxhaist").

Basically, I'm asking if someone can link to the website of a real party with members that has as the first sentence in the "about us" section the line:"We are a Stalinist party, that aims to..."

If not, we should stop using the word as if it was equivalent to all the others in the meme.

No its just communist or Marxist lenninist

I guess you could use it to differentiate the post Khrushchev SU from Stalin but who the fuck has that position today? You are either anti revisionist or you accept Stalin and later leaders equally despite differences or mistakes.
