That sounds like a principled move to me.
What's the difference between the various CPs? I assume there are historical differences (having to do with the Sino-Soviet split, Naxalites, etc.), but do these count for anything anymore? How do the CPI and CPI(M) get along? Which one governs Kerala and which one governs West Bengal? And how big are the various factions of the CPI(ML)?
I could probably ask some expert on sectariana about these differences, but given the tendency of such people to put too much emphasis on theoretical questions that are now out of date, I much prefer the perspective of people who can talk knowledgeably about what's going on now.
