The archive's reading. A holder independent of every party whose documents it posts, which keeps the statements of both sides of a split (Nepal's CPN (RM) and CPN (Maoist Centre)) and of several rival CPI (M-L) parties in their own words. Its organizing question is suppression by states, which #1725 names as an outside accelerant; the archive reads its record of internal division as a by-product of that question, kept in the parties' own terms.
Kindweb site that exists 'to struggle against the fascist-like suppression of progressive ideas'; it publicizes suppression and posts documents and publications suppressed elsewhere
