If we’re talking about CPI, I think they’ve demonstrated they can get shit done in Kerala. I’d also give the communists in Philippines a pass given that they’re actually still running an insurgency.
There’s 2 major Communist Parties in India, The CPI(M) is the biggest one right now. They are the ruling party of the state of Kerala, in a Left-Front alliance of which the other smaller CPI is also a member.
No, neither of them do. CPIM are Marxist Leninists and CPI is mostly the same, they have slight disagreements on the method for revolution in India but they both participate electorally.
I think they were talking about the militant naxalite movement in rural India, they’re real maoists engaging in people’s war in the indian countryside. Although it’s been shrinking for nearly 2 decades.
