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.
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.
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.
What about MLMs in the Philippines and India?

Ah gotcha, explains why they have actual tangible success then.
They’re somewhat Marxist Leninist…
