I like the JCP anti-corruption platform, and article 9 defense, but the rest, hmmmmmmmm. Think they need a name change! How about Green Social Party? Any others?

JCP is no longer a devoted pro-NK party. So don't worry when the Chosen Soren is under years of some heavy pressure.

And JCP isn't a Marxist-Leninist party anymore. Yes, need a name change.

It's interesting. After the Cold War, today's socialist-like movements are diversifying much more.

Are we seeing a second wave of socialism around the world? Consider that many Communist parties now tamed their platforms to more light socialism varieties.

Chavez in Venezuela. A very modified form of Maoism-lite in Nepal. All happened in the 21st century.

Not that I agree with them, but it's interesting to see.
