> May I also point out that the greatest schism in Communist groups is over Leninism/Trotskyism

The Stalinist/Trotskyist split is a split within Leninist-derived Communism, and it hasn't been the “greatest schism” in that community since at.least the rise of Maoism; I’m not sure there are any Trotskyists left (in the US, leading ex-Trotskyists went on to form a significant part of the core of the neoconservative movement.) AFAICT, Leninist-derived Communism is all Stalinist “socialism in one state” now.

The biggest split in Communism (at least, the Marx-derived subset) seems between developed-capitalism first Marxists and Leninist-derived vanguardists, though the former subset is also less tied to old orthodoxy and so has mixed a lot with non-Marxist socialism and is less easy to draw a firm bubble around than the Leninist vanguardists.

You are absolutely correct about /s/Lenin/Stalin. I realized the mistake when it was too late to edit.

I did have my share of discussions with Trotskyists, especially in Europe, so I wouldn't say only stalinists are left nowadays.
