I’ve never thought too much about identifying as one “branch” of Marxism, but now that I think about it I can’t really come up with a simple explanation of the main divergences between different currents (ML vs MLM for instance). I suppose I agree more with Marxist-Leninist thought but besides some obvious ones like Trotskyists and patsocs I can only come up with extremely specific details of those divergences (mainly over critical support for AES).

And I definitely can’t describe disagreements of less common discussions such as Xi Jinping thought and “Fidel Castro thought”.

It doesn’t help that a lot of the discussion centers around people like Wisconcom who aren’t exactly the height of ideological consistency.

So can anybody help out?

    Basically every X Person Thought is just developments of Marxism Leninism by said person, the other MLWhatever is revisionist and anti dialectical.

    I just talked about this in a recent discussion about Maoism and cited a useful text, that should help you, I also think Dessalines has an article about this in his FAQ on GitHub.
