There are 40 vanguard parties.
We're gonna found the ultimate revolutionary vanguard party to unite all vanguard parties!

One of the only countries in the area to legalize gay marriage in big part due to these 1000 communist parties including the liberal-maoists

I'm too old to understand this
This is a twelfth type of liberalism.
One of the bigger maoist parties that’s been in control basically got in control and takes part in liberal democracy, which to be fair is definitely a step up from not having them there and the monarchy which was there until 2008

Are you the Communist Party of Nepal - Maoist?
Fuck off! The Communist Party of Nepal - Maoist. We're the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) (2014)! Communist Party of Nepal - Maoist, come on
splitters
Forming Communist Party of Hexbear (Posadist-Volcel)
The story of some of these is actually pretty funny
So basically in 2017 the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist Centre) and the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist) together won the elections by a landslide, and a year later in 2018 they decided to merge their parties into one party called the Nepal Communist Party, so they did that and merged. However, in 2021 the Supreme Court decided the merger was invalid because the name was already taken by a different party, so they split back into the two original parties. But that's not all, right after the Nepal Communist Party split back into the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist Centre) and the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist), the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist) had some infighting and so some people decided to split off and form a third party, the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Socialist).
Edit: Oh I almost forgot, a fourth party showed up in 2022 when the Communist Party of Nepal (Unity National Campaign) also split from the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist)
What the fuck is going on in Nepal?
Basically a bunch of MLs, MLMs, and maoists (both real and nominal) have a lot of control of the government, even though their country is not officially Marxist Leninist lol
The Governing Nepali Congress and Communist Party of Nepal (UML) have been the main rivals of each other since the early 1990s, with each party defeating the other in successive elections.[2][3][4] There are seven major political parties in the federal parliament: Nepali Congress (NC),[1] CPN (UML), CPN (Maoist-centre), CPN (Unified Socialist), People's Socialist Party, Nepal, Loktantrik Samajwadi Party, Nepal and People's Progressive Party.[1] While all major parties officially espouse democratic socialism, UML, Unified Socialist and Maoist-centre are considered leftist while the Nepali Congress, Democratic Socialist Party and People's Progressive Party are considered centrist, with most considering them center-left and some center-right.[5] The party PSP-N is center-left to left-wing.
Four at least three of those (and one that isn't listed), what happened was the two largest parties won a landslide together in the 2017 elections and decided to merge, but the Supreme Court ended up declaring it invalid because the name they chose was taken and then because of infighting it didn't just split back into two but into four pieces
Why didn't they just pick a different name after the ruling?
Idk, but given the original unification was just after taking power, it's possible certain conflicts had already started to emerge and this gave them an opportunity to rise to the surface
Why so many?
It's complicated, but tbf not all of these are splits some of these are merging of parties and most of these parties no longer exist
Some real comrades, here.
yall gotta look at the list of indian communist parties
To be fair, India is far far larger and politics vary for every state.
Pleased to report the main wikipedia article has much less cancer. Lot of these parties eventually merged or shrunk out of existence, so they have 5 parliamentary parties and just a handful of little splits now. Most of the minor ones arent even recognized.
communism is when you only have a one party state
communism is a bunch of intoverts in denial that they don't like parties or people. real ones stay home and continue reading and writing. marx would literally not bother with any of this if he knew what you people were really like
