Officially New Marxism-Leninism, but popularly called Kalintovism, after Yegor Kalintov, who created the political philosophy, is a nationalistic and authoritarian form of communism. The state, run by a dictator selected by workers councils, is the centerpiece of Kalintovist focus, seeing it as the receptacle for revolutionary progress. Critics have accused Kalintovism of simply being fascism in fancy clothing, but Kalintov has denied those claims categorically.
