To put it into perspective, in Vietnam the communist party has about 5,300,000 people in it as of 2021, the womens union has 13 million members.
Its similar in China, people trust the government so instead tend to focus on advancing sector rights rather than party politics, think student/workers/womens unions.
CPC has almost 100 million members. Are they China campists, Marxist-Leninists, or both?
I'd argue that of the international Communist movement, the majority of party members are Chinese.
And the All-China Federation of Trade Unions is larger, 300 million.
Its always going to be a spectrum, there will be everything from liberals to ultras residing in it, ML with reference to historic Chinese socialism is clearly the dominant ideology however.
CPI has 650k members, CPI(M) has 100k members.
CPC is the largest Communist Party in the world.
Sorry you're right, edited my orginal comment not sure why I mixed that up.
