None.

I can't think of another instance in the history of the 
"Marxist-Leninist" left in which a split transpired without a public 
accounting. I imagine that there were internal documents which aired out 
the differences, but who knows what they contained. As Joaquin has 
pointed out on many occasions, this is not the way the Bolsheviks 
functioned. All their debates were carried out in the party press.
