Thanks. The definition this article gives is very broad, you can fit quite a lot (if not most) leftist political organizations there

If it helps, many of them call us “Dengists” (when they’re not calling us tankies), because we don’t reject China as a socialist state.

I kinda get the idea, can think of parties in my country that fit. But its more of a broad characterization and not a scientific definition it looks
