People's Revolutionary Front (Marxist−Leninist−Maoist)

The People's Revolutionary Front (Marxist−Leninist−Maoist), often abbreviated as PRF(MLM), is a political organization subscribing to Marxist-Leninist-Maoist ideology. These groups generally advocate for revolutionary change through protracted people's war, aiming to overthrow existing state structures and establish a socialist or communist society based on the principles of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism.

Key tenets typically include:

• Marxism-Leninism-Maoism (MLM): An ideological framework that combines the core tenets of Marxism-Leninism with the contributions and strategic thought of Mao Zedong, particularly the concept of protracted people's war waged from the countryside.
• Protracted People's War: A military strategy focused on mobilizing the peasantry to wage a long-term guerrilla war against the state, gradually encircling cities from rural bases.
• Class Struggle: Emphasis on the inherent conflict between the ruling class (bourgeoisie) and the working class (proletariat) and the need for the proletariat to seize power.
• Revolutionary Violence: Acceptance, and often advocacy, of armed struggle as a necessary means to achieve revolutionary goals.
• Anti-Imperialism: Opposition to imperialism and neo-colonialism, often viewing them as key obstacles to national liberation and socialist development.
• Dictatorship of the Proletariat: The belief that after a successful revolution, a state controlled by the working class is necessary to consolidate power and prevent counter-revolution.

It's important to note that groups self-identifying under this banner can vary significantly in their specific platforms, organizational structures, and activities. Their geographical locations, historical contexts, and interpretations of MLM often lead to divergence. Some groups may be primarily political organizations, while others may engage in armed struggle. Some may focus on specific local issues, while others aim for broader national or even international revolution. The actual size, influence, and activities of groups identifying as PRF(MLM) vary significantly across different contexts.
