But once in power

: If you'd have asked Stalinists they'd have said Trotsky was a petit-bourgoise deviationist opportunist from Marxism; a strict Leninist like the late great historian E.P. Thompson would have said that Trotskyists were Marxists, but that there were theoretical disagreements - Thompson was a noted anti-Stalinist.

But once in power, regardless of how it's acheived, isn't Marxism the blueprint to the future of Leninists, Stalinists, Maoists, Trotskyists, etc?
