• Merge into Class conflict#Socialism. Needs more sources to prove notability on it's own, this article was created in 2004 so I'm not holding my breath. Hydromania (talk) 05:28, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge per above. Raymond3023 (talk) 18:43, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. This is not Marxist concept of Class Struggle. As page correctly tells, this a specific Stalinist concept, one of ideological cornerstones of Stalinist terror in the Soviet Union. The term is more widely used in Russian as "обострение классовой борьбы при социализме", ~17,000 Google books hits [1]. This should be better kept as a separate subpage. My very best wishes (talk) 00:33, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• strong keep. I understand that a random westrrn wikipedian has zero knowledge about stalinism besides it was evil. And aggavation of ignorance under no interest in exercising due diligence. And of course prominent historians like snyder (cited) have no say wor wikipedia. - Altenmann >talk 02:21, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment I noticed that a more common term is "intensification" rather than "aggravation". I guess the article better be renamed. - Altenmann >talk 02:41, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment Altenmann is correct. ‘Intensification’ is the usual term, and the article should be renamed. Mccapra (talk) 07:49, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge into Stalinism, since the contested subject is a random slogan for a Soviet political program during the Stalin era, without independent notability outside of the wider context. -The Gnome (talk) 11:52, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That was not a random slogan. As page correctly tells, that "was one of the cornerstones of Stalinism in the internal politics of the Soviet Union". My very best wishes (talk) 16:24, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
