This does not even deserve its own article given all the same content practically is already applied to the coverage present on the Ideology of the Soviet Communist Party.

I say scrap it but I prefer merging the rest into that article instead than outright deletion. Since creation this article has been rather inactive. Lord saturnus (talk) 17:15, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Object. Bolshevism was not the only ideology in the CPSU. // Timothy :: talk 17:34, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

do you define bolshevism as marxism-leninism? and if so that they are same under different names, then would we not just want to expand upon it there by that name/component of the ideology without wasting it here? Lord saturnus (talk) 05:19, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose merger - Bolshevism is a form of Marxism-Leninism, but not the only form, and needs its own article. If this article needs to be improved, then it should be improved, not merged away. Beyond My Ken (talk) 09:49, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

yes, my point is that it will be improved either becoming added as a new segment on soviet communism or marxism-leninism as just a component of those ideologies. it is actually the other way around: Marxism-Leninism is a form of bolshevism as the majority in the russian communist party. Lord saturnus (talk) 22:39, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose merger. Bolshevism is not Marxism–Leninism and not just "Soviet Communism". This is a separate period in the development of communist ideas in Russia, starting from the October Revolution and roughly up to the Kronstadt Uprising (in fact, the end of Bolshevism as an ideology is a separate academic dispute, but this is reflected in the article). Bolshevism is an object of historical and political reflection in American, European, Russian Sovietology. Everywhere it stands out as a separate period and as a separate ideology. Without Bolshevism it is impossible to understand either the Soviet Union or modern Russia. In addition, your edits are extremely chaotic, first you want to attach the article to the ideology of the Soviet Union, then to Marxism–Leninism. I'm not talking about your other destructive edits in other articles that go beyond Bolshevism. I will give another five days for consideration, after which the discussion of merging the article will be permanently terminated. MarcusTraianus (talk) 19:54, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Anti-communist slant

I was reading this article and noticed it had a heavy anti-communist bias, with much of the article not written accurately under Wikipedia's style guidelines. Almost every source cited is an anti-communist, and even includes the discredited "black book of communism" at the end. I'm honestly not even sure where to start to make this article less biased.
