Socialism in One Country

Socialism in One Country is a strategy proposed by Soviet leader Joseph Stalin, emphasizing the focus on strengthening socialism within the Soviet Union rather than relying on global revolution. It advocates building a robust, self-sufficient socialist society domestically, even if international communist movements are weak or divided. The idea is that by developing strong economic and political institutions internally, the USSR could ultimately support and promote worldwide socialism, but primary efforts are directed inward. This approach contrasts with earlier ideals of spreading socialism globally immediately, instead prioritizing national development as a foundation for future international progress.
