I believe in Marx, the Father almighty,

maker of Scientific Socialism.

I believe in Vladimir Lenin, his first successor,

made traitor to the capitalists

by his loving wife Krupskaya.

He suffered under Tsarist Russia,

was hunted down, and censored;

then exiled to Europe.

One year he led the Revolution.

He succeeded in this endeavor

and is seated at the right side of Marx the Father almighty.

From there he will judge the leftists and rightists.

I believe in Yosef Stalin,

the united vanguard party,

democratic centralism,

scientific socialism,

anti-imperialism,

and progress ongoing. Amen.

• The Leninist Creed.

There, you happy? The three tenets are what I consider Marxism's core to be.

*progress ongoing, as in cultural and institutional progress, as a note, something about economic base and ideological superstructure...
