Revolutionary Internationalist Movement

[3] From 1993 onwards the RIM believed that the experience gained from the "People's War" in Peru enabled the International Communist Movement "to further deepen [their] grasp of the proletarian ideology and on that basis take a far-reaching step, the recognition of Marxism–Leninism–Maoism as the new, third and higher stage of Marxism".

This formulation caused a split in the Maoist movement, with the continued adherents of Mao Zedong Thought leaving RIM and congregating around the International Conference of Marxist–Leninist Parties and Organizations.

Communist Party of India (Maoist) leader Ajith (Murali Kannampilly) was the editor of the magazine.

The party contends that RIM’s neglect of critical Maoist concepts, such as the mass line and the theory of the new democratic revolution, alongside a focus on Eurocentrism, detracts from the effectiveness of the global revolutionary movement.

This criticism points to RIM’s strategies as being out of step with the practical demands of revolutionary activity, especially in the context of the Third World's class struggle.
