I don t think self identification is the only valid reason for documenting an ideology For example there are parties around today that don t self identify as Stalinist but are demonstrably Stalinist and are commonly referred to as Stalinist by large numbers of observers outside their parties This doesn t necessarily make it pejorative but since Stalinism is deeply unpopular its use is usually perceived to be pejorative Either way I can t think of a better term than Stalinist for talking about Stalinist parties What s a better title for this article
