Shouldn't all (or at least some) of the -isms under Marxism-Leninism be "[person] Thought?" My understanding was that "Thought" is used for a specific application of M-L that's considered to be consistent with the established principles, while "-ism" would indicate a change to the principles themselves.
Fair enough. The reason I brought it up is that I think treating individual applications of M-L as distinct ideologies rather than applications of the same ideas to different conditions leads to more of that quirky, individualized Twitter profile stuff and encourages needless sectarianism.

The typology of leftist sectarianism is basically what the whole post's about, isn't it?
