British Marxist-Leninist splinter groups: a family tree

[Zanas]

I could practically do France's one by heart from 2002 on, but there is a book for all groups since 1945, "dictionnaire de l'extrême-gauche". My parents had it in the toilets at my home. Interesting reading...

it looks like this chart starts long after Trotskyist groups splintered away in the late 20s / early 30s?

Yes. The thread is mistitled, this is a chart of Maoist groups.

To a number of us, it is transparent : when you see M-L in the context of the 60s-70s, you see Maoist.

For toilet reading, that sounds extremely highbrow.

Yeah that's the home I grew up in for ya. There was also an immense Mendeleiev periodic table posted on the toilets wall, and so I learned the elements backwards going from the actinides upwards... Good ole days.
