Map Inaccurate
editThe map should but doesn't include Canada as a country with member of the Socialist Internationale.
The New Democratic Party (and all its Provincial affiliates) is very typical member of the Internationale -- and until recently the Chair of the International was Ed Broadbent, https://www.google.com/search?q=Ed+Broadbest&oq=Ed+Broadbest&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l7.5927j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8, a former leader of Canada's NDP.
Organizations versus Movements
editThis article lists a number of organizations said to have gone out of existence many years ago. This may be a correct historical record of the Official Truth about organizations with secretariats, headquarters, and all that. It is not a correct record of the Socialist Internationals.
"The First International" refers to the first major organization connected to Karl Marx, and included the Workingmen's Association listed in the article.
"The Second International," or The Socialist International, or Internationale, or just The International, was Marx's next attempt. This Wiki entry wanders around within shouting distance of it.
The Third International was Marx's last effort, morphed into the Soviet Comintern ("Communist International" Get it?), and declared itself nonexistent on a couple of occasions.
The Fourth International was Trotsky's reply to the Fourth, and was very active up to my college days, thirty years ago. Its flavour lingers on in the covens of anti-Biden Bernie-Bros. Le pire le mieux! The Revolution at any cost!
One used to hear rumours of a Fifth, Maoist, Internationale but I don't think it ever amounted to much outside of a few guerilla groups in places like Myanmar and Nepal.
the most important information is missing
editThis article is a joke because many parties withdrew in 2017 and most of them were even founding members, but this article says nothing about this. --Espoo (talk) 15:02, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
- Maybe you should add this info. Ttulinsky (talk) 20:29, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
Burkina Faso
editIt states that Peoples Movement for Progress is in government but the coup in 2022 made it so Burkina Faso is currently controlled by a military junta Darkdeath0123 (talk) 21:49, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
- The whole section is out of date. It includes outdated links and some the parties have have since changed their names. Charles Essie (talk) 17:07, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
