The article doesn’t seem to mention that they often don’t believe in the actually existing socialist states, and often reinforce the imperial core that almost all of them benefit from.

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
