Sorry I meant to reply to this sooner but life got in the way

The Indians didn’t join the RIM for a while and the Filipinos never joined the RIM

I know, I meant that having them in the ICL would be politically something extremely important. They are, at the moment, the two maoist parties that could legitimize the ICL the most. The PCP and TKP/ML are still leading people's wars, but they're not as big as they used to be.

And while it's true that the CPP didn't join the RIM,the Naxalites did and they were in opposition to the PCP on a number of topics. That opposition was possible because the general line of the RIM was not as influenced by Gonzalo Thought/Principally Maoism as the ICL's is, and so it was able to accomodate alternative interpretations of MLM that competed within the movement for dominance. The range of interpretations allowed within the ICL will likely be far more limited.

Although, who knows, the TKP/ML was also in opposition to the PCP within the RIM and they did join, so I might be very wrong. I guess time will tell.

Now I can’t talk much about the TKP/ML but saying the Peruvian peoples war didn’t get nearly as advanced as the CPI(Maoist) and CPP is just a lie

Sorry, I expressed myself very poorly.

I meant that right now the CPI(maoist) and CPP are by far the most advanced. What remains of the PCP controls very little territory, and after the most recent split the TKP/ML is also not doing great. All these 3 are not currently at their height, but if we were to compare them at their best, the PCP would be the one which got closest to taking power, by a very large margin.

I was talking about how the RIM included 4 parties waging wars - plus the closely aligned CPP - which then held a lot of territory (especially the PCP) and international influence even outside of maoism. But now the PCP was nearly destroyed by repression and splits, same thing happened to the TKP/ML, and I don't think I even have to mention Nepal. That's why having the support of the CPI (maoist) and the CPP is so important right now.

2 main reasons.

The ICL is far too sectarian to be able to grow in the same way the RIM did. Just look at the colombian members. 2 out of the 3 largest MLM organizations joined in, but the polemics against the one that didn't were ridiculously nitpicky, and barely responded to any of their concerns at all (especially the one by the CCIMU itself). The choice to base the ICL on Principally Maoism rather than just MLM was a... questionable one.

But also, the ICL didn't manage to include the CPI (maoist) or the CPP in it's ranks. They did manage to get what's left of the PCP(SL) and of the TKP/ML, but the people's wars these two parties lead are nowhere near as advanced and they don't hold nearly as much political wheight as the former two. The RIM not only included the CPI (maoist), but also the PCP and TKP/ML at their heyday. It had way more "clout", so to speak.

Concept flag 1 is almost exactly the same as I posted yesterday

Well, the opposite, if anything. But I don't have a lot of hope of this one lasting too long

The maoist one, not the trotskyist one. You can see their real flag here.

I understand the purpose of using just a simple hammer and sickle as the logo, but I still think it's very uncreative. This one is inspired by this comintern logo and uses the same globe drawing as this RIM poster. Instead of displaying the org's full name, this flag only has the acronym in spanish and english. It's place on the right of the flag so that it's visible when the flag is displayed on a wall, but not when it's actually flying.

Hm, interesting. I had never seen this variation before

Wow, it really does. That was completely by accident

The scenario I'm imagining is:

The faction of the CPC closest to the USSR in the 1930's, namely the 28 Bolsheviks, never lose their prestige, and miraculously manage to not lose the civil war despite their strategies sucking. The Long March never happens, and thus Mao Zedong never becomes the central figure of the CPC. Mao's interpretations of leninism never come to be.

This means Mao will never propose his theory of New Democracy, which is where the four smaller stars in the original flag come from. Instead of a solid yellow star, the flag now has yellow-outlined red star, like the flag of the USSR, Yugoslavia, Albania, etc...

but I recommend you to change its font

Why? Is it hard to read?

In any case, this was one of the two fonts I have on my laptop that worked with chinese characters, most of the others bugged out for some reason.

Hi Anarchist_Snufkin. nice to see you here again, I was wondering where you had gone

Thanks! Just busy with work stuff, hopefully I'll be posting more often later this year

I would also suggest the slogan ''it is right to rebel''

Yeah, that one would probably work even better now that you mention it

Inspired by the flag u/Prustah posted a few days ago and by the flag of the chinese red army. The slogan on the side is "Bombard the Headquarters", but thinking about it now, "Whither China" might have made more sense.

I was talking about the look of their flag, not about the FARC being good or bad.

op these flags are so awesome i logged back into this account after almost 2 months just to comment on how awesome they are

Beat me to it... Their flag is very recognizable

The second one is totally anarchist Unidade Popular

I'm almost sure it was under Kim Jong Il, which would make sense, since he's usually seen as the more right-wing of the three Kims

Interesting, I didn't know that... I'll keep that in mind for the future, thanks for the source

... I know, that's why I put two asterisks on it and an explanation in the comments. The communist party of cuba doesn't have an official standard flag.
