Self-Description: Declaration signed by parties from several nations in 1984 upholds the Cultural Revolution Journal claims to end international confusion since Mao died in 1976.

Comments: The Revolutionary Internationalist Movement (RIM) contains both Maoist and pseudo-Maoist parties and is led by the crypto-Trotskyist RCP through the Committee of the RIM (CoRIM). MIM polemicized with the RIM as early as 1989, and has yet to receive a response. The CoRIM consistently makes the error of hegemonism calling the RIM the "emerging political center of the international communist movement despite Mao's rejection of the idea of an international center or party.
