A third illustration, in figure 7.3, identifies the major Marxist-Leninist parties and their respective electoral fronts. Figure 7.4 shows an attempt to unify Marxist-Leninist organizations, beginning with the formation of the Comissão de Apoio aos Revolucionários Presos (Commission of Support for Imprisoned Revolutionaries—CARP [M-L]) by Marxists-Leninists who had been in prison during the middle 1960s and a fusion with the Luta Comunista on July 18, 1974. Later the group joined with the Comités Comunistas Revolucionários (Revolutionary Communist Committees—CCR [M-L]) and Unidade Revolucionária Marxista-Leninista (Marxist-Leninist Revolutionary Unity—UR [M-L]) to form the Organização para a Reconstrução do Partido Comunista Maxista-Leninista (Organization for the Reconstruction of the Marxist-Leninist Communist Party—ORPC [M-L]). By 1976 various tendencies had fused into the PCP(R). Evolving from these efforts was the UDP, formed in December 16, 1974, as a Maoist front of the CARP (M-L), the CCR (M-L), and the UR (M-L), whose aim was exposing the “bourgeois” electoral process but which participated in and actually gained a seat in the Assembly in the 1975, 1979, and 1980 elections. Figure 7.5 shows the fragmentation of a Marxist-Leninist organization during the decade 1964–1974.
