Revolutionary Marxist faction - Kakumaru is

Japanese: 革マル派 - かくマルは

One of the two major factions of the New Left. Its official name is the Revolutionary Communist League of Japan/Revolutionary Marxism faction. It believes in Marxism-Leninism. Its sub-organizations are the Japan Marxist Student League/Revolutionary Marxism faction and the All Japan Confederation of Student Self-Government Associations (Zengakuren) Revolutionary Marxist faction. It originated from the Japanese Trotskyist League (later renamed the Revolutionary Communist League (Kakukyo)) which was formed in 1957. The first split in 1958 gave birth to the Trotskyist Comrades Association, and the following year, in 1959, Kuroda Kanichi, who split off, formed the Revolutionary Communist League National Committee (second split). In 1963, however, due to a ideological disagreement between Chairman Kuroda and Secretary-General Honda Nobuyoshi, the faction split, with the Chairman faction forming the Revolutionary Marxist faction and the Secretary-General faction forming the Chukaku-ha faction (third split). Kuroda reigned as the first chairman of the Revolutionary Marxist faction until his death in 2006. Both groups aim for world revolution, but the Revolutionary Marxist faction is very exclusive and closed-minded, placing emphasis on ideological study and organizational theory, and is in complete conflict with the Chukaku-ha faction, which places emphasis on mass movements. In 1970, a university student from the Revolutionary Marxist faction was killed in an internal feud between the two factions, and armed conflict escalated thereafter, leading to the murder of Secretary General Honda in 1975. The group is based in Kaihosha. (→ New Left)

Japanese:

新左翼の二大党派の一つ。正称は日本革命的共産主義者同盟・革命的マルクス主義派。マルクス・レーニン主義を信奉する。下部組織に，日本マルクス主義学生同盟・革命的マルクス主義派と全日本学生自治会総連合（全学連）革マル派系がある。1957年に結成された日本トロツキスト連盟（のちに革命的共産主義者同盟〈革共同〉に改称）が母体で，1958年の第1次分裂でトロツキスト同志会が誕生，翌 1959年分派した黒田寛一が革共同全国委員会を結成（第2次分裂）したが，1963年には黒田議長と本多延嘉書記長との路線対立から分裂し，議長派が革マル派を，書記長派が中核派を結成した（第3次分裂）。黒田は，2006年に死去するまで革マル派初代議長として君臨した。ともに世界革命を目指すが，革マル派は排他的で閉鎖性が強く，思想学習や組織論を重視，大衆運動重視の中核派とことごとく対立している。1970年に両派の内ゲバで革マル派の大学生が殺され，以後武装抗争がエスカレート，1975年には本多書記長殺害事件が起こった。拠点は解放社。（→ニュー・レフト）
