This chart inspired the battles between the People's Front of Judea, Judean People's Front, the Judean Popular People's Front, the Campaign for a Free Galilee, and the Popular Front of Judea in Monty Python's Life of Brian.

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

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

I'd like to see one for Greece, which would be even more amusing. Greece actually had groups as diverse as the Marxist-Leninist Communist Party of Greece and Communist Party of Greece (Marxist-Leninist)

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...

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

'Nottingham Communist Group'

'Nottingham Communist Group'

lol, yeah the date on there looks about 8 centuries too late. 
One of these for late medieval/early modern radical movements would sure be interesting.

That would be fascinating if possible.

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

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.

Not in Nepal! where two of the countries' main three parties are the United Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) and the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist).
