    They’re both soc-dems playing electoral politics, name doesn’t matter.

      No, CPI-Maoist is banned and doesn’t participate in elections instead waging a People’s War against the Government.

      The CPI(M) in op’s post is referring to CPI-Marxist which was formed after a split from CPI. CPI/CPI(M) do participate in elections and their policies tend to lean socdem due to the conditions in India.

        By both I meant CPI and CPI(M), should’ve made it clearer 🙃. I intended to say that arguing over semantics of CPI(M) is pretty useless, but I think I worded it poorly 😂
