Basahin ang artikulong ito sa Pilipino

The following diagram shows the links of local petty-bourgeois reformist and pseudo-revolutionary groups with international Trotskyite and Social Democratic formations. From this can be gleaned the real class orientation of these pseudo-progressive or pseudo-revolutionary groups.

Worldwide, Social Democrats form petty bourgeois parties that ride on the coattails of big bourgeois parties. They pose as progressives and cry "socialism" to derail the struggle of the proletariat from the revolutionary path towards the path of reformism and parliamentarism. They are usually content with participating in elections and placing a few representatives in the bourgeois state. They serve as adornments to bourgeois democracy.

On the other hand, Trotskyites are known to sabotage mass movements by shouting slogans that are beyond the people's actual level of consciousness and inappropriate to the existing social system. At the same time, Trotskyites are also known to veer to the Right during ebbs in the prople's political movement.

The diagram was prepared by the Communist Party of the Philippines International Department.
