common slang

[Bright Banana Beard]

So far I know from here

cappies- people who associated capitalism
commies- people who associated with communism

is there more?

CPU- communist party of USA (I believe so)

anyway post more so I can understand more! :D

Ehh...what exactly do you want? There are so many communist organizations that it would be impractical to write out every single one and their abbreviation.

Just read around and you'll get it. I don't think a comprehensive list can really be practically made...

There is always more to learn about the left.

I dont think hes asking us to name every leftist group. I dont think English is their first language, theyre asking us to define some more RevLeft-specific slang terms such as "cappie" and "commie". Yo, what language do you speak Karbrino? Maybe someone here can communicate more clearly.

often you might see something like

Communist party of Nepal (M)

that M in brackets stands for Maoist.

Also i have seen it with a (M-L) meaning marxist-leninist

there are also more i imagine.

btw, why do they do that? just so people know their ideological position?

[bloody_capitalist_sham]

haha oh my

thanks for that CDL

[welshred]

I can see why people get confused!

[Black Dagger]

Are most of those splits (from splits?) or what?

In the context of Nepal, M-L stands for moderate (i.e. centrist) losers as opposed to Marxist-Leninist. :rolleyes:

Many of those CPNs are defunct...or at least so small that they are essentially defunct.
