Talk:List of Lanka Sama Samaja breakaway parties

Errors

This list is full of errors, as you would expect when it's unsourced.

• The Bolshevik–Leninist Party of India, Ceylon and Burma (BLPI) wasn't a breakaway faction of the LSSP - it was actually formed as a merger of the LSSP and leftist Indian parties.
• The Communist Party of Sri Lanka did not breakaway from the LSSP in 1948 - the Stalinists in the LSSP were expelled in 1940 and later formed the United Socialist Party which evolved into the Communist Party of Ceylon.
• The Bolshevik Samasamaja Party wasn't a breakaway faction of the LSSP either - it was the Ceylonese branch of the BLPI.
• The Mahajana Eksath Peramuna wasn't a breakaway faction of the LSSP - it was a essentially a continuation of the Viplavakari Lanka Sama Samaja Party.
• The Revolutionary Workers Party (Sri Lanka) and Socialist Equality Party (Sri Lanka) are breakaway factions of the Lanka Sama Samaja Party (Revolutionary), not the LSSP.
• The Communist Party of Sri Lanka (Marxist-Leninist) broke away from the Ceylon Communist Party (Maoist), not the LSSP.

All of this can easily be sourced from internet sources.--Obi2canibe (talk) 19:14, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

Would it be worth renaming the page to "List of Lanka Sama Samaja Party affiliated parties" or "Political parties descended from the Lanka Sama Samaja Party"? SerAntoniDeMiloni (talk) 21:32, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

That's unnecessary. All of this info can easily be included in the LSSP article. Either way, sources must be provided.--Obi2canibe (talk) 22:05, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
