    Dunno. One’s that are as prominent or have that same symbolic power as the KKE? Definitely not. They’re kinda at the top of the pyramid for a reason, but the fact that it holds a lot of sway may be the problem at the end of the day.

    I’m sure there’s another somewhere in the country, but eh, it’s probably either too small or a Maoist organization (there are plenty in Greece, I think).

      As much as I don’t like Maoists, I’d rather be in a non-transphobic Maoist party than a transphobic Khruschevite party (neither is ideal of course)

        Actually, KKE is pretty pro-Stalin and pro-Mao (I mean, they have no problem invoking the “Five Heads” imagery from what I’ve seen, though that may not necessarily be their leadership).

        KKE has been called “left deviationist” or ultra-left, but a lot of their opinions and viewpoints are also rather reactionary (I guess the word in this case is right deviationist).

        To be honest, not to “horse-shoe theory” the topic of Maoism, but a lot of Maoists are like that (very toxic, from what people tell me, and basically think that because they slash car tires or carry guns that they’re free from being reactionary or having reactionary thought; hence, why you still get accusations of transphobia, toxicity, and looking down of “disabled” people)
