The Revolutionary Internationalist Movement (RIM) was an international
armed struggle
.
Marxism–Leninism–Maoism
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.[3]
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.[5]
