Permanent revolution

The permanent revolution is a theory initiated by Parvus, then taken again by Trotsky, worked out at the beginning of the 20th century to characterize the need for a double revolution, at the same time democratic-middle-class woman and proletarian, to eliminate indeed tsarism and feudalism from the Russian company.

This theory is not, for Trotsky, only valid for Russia, but for all the countries dominated by the great nations imperialists (he speaks also much about the China for example), where generally remain of the remainders of Féodalisme and where the national middle-class is too weak to propose a policy so much is little revolutionist, as had been able to do it French middle-class in 1789. It is thus with the proletariat that return the tasks of the middle-class revolution, inter alia things the suppression of the remainders of feudalism, the land reform, etc in addition to the tasks which are clean for him.

By extension, the theory of the permanent revolution judge which the working class should durably make a pact with no middle-class force, but on the contrary that his independence is guarantor of the success of the revolution, which must go towards socialism and be internationalized, and not to be satisfied with partial victories.

The permanent revolution is opposed to the theory Révolution by stages, defended in particular by the partisans of Stalin during the popular fronts.

Among the defenders of the theory, a debate takes place concerning the nature of the revolutions in the less developed countries - Cuba, China, country of post-colonial Africa. Some defend these revolutions like a new type of socialist revolution. Others insist that divisions of class perdurent in these countries, and thus which should be adapted the theory of Trotsky to take account of the appearance of a new form of capitalism in these countries.
