  1. Stalinism is a term people use to mean something else
  2. Marxism-Leninism is a name that explains what it is quite nicely. You can have disagreements with other Marxist-Leninists (e.g. USSR and China) about what works, whereas Stalinism implies you specifically want what Stalin did (but that should really only apply to a specific time and place, namely Stalin’s governance of the USSR)

I see, thanks for explaining. So it's a bit like a 'do like I say, not like I do' kind of situation...

Wow, I must have horribly explained it then.

No, it’s more like different strategies might be more appropriate for a specific time and place, based on trial and error (e.g. how can we avoid the fall of the USSR in China?), the resources of your country, threats of other countries, etc.
