Which tendencies of ML (there has to be at least one) uphold the pre-Dimitrov, R. Palme Dutt -esque, 1920s COMINTERN (multiple congresses) consensus on the United Front tactic, as opposed to the Popular Front (in my analysis) error?

After finally reading some of Hoxha's works I was greatly disappointed to find that he doesn't even have the integrity to acknowledge Stalin's flip flop from completely contradictory tactics, pretending like the Popular Front is the only thing there ever was and is correct without no need to explain further.

the Chinese revolution being the result of a mix of directives, and ending up in a partially synthesized United + Popular Front, at least leads to some interesting (but ultimately non-conclusive imo) discourse in some Maoist circles on the topic.

Then there's the funny thing about people thinking Bordigist leftcoms are odd for supporting the United Front from Below, or that it's an ultraleft tactic entirely. Meanwhile the fact is that it's the instance where leftcoms get as Leninist, sharing position with Stalin-era CPSU, as they can get.

TL;DR: If Dengists, Khrushchevites and Hoxhaists aren't United Front from Below stans, which MLs are? Non-answer is unacceptable and will require you to do 10 jumping jacks on a floor I multiple bags of pebbles on

yes have you heard of this thing called applying different practice to different material conditions according to dynamic theory?

I have trouble exactly understanding what the "united front from below" is supposed to be even after reading some of his texts,is it a call for "leftist unity",is it about getting support from the working class by joining unions ? is it about subverting leadership of unions and other movement that are deemed rightists ?
DO I need to read the entire transcript of the COMINTERN to get what's the difference between that and the united front from above ?
Also I don't think a lot of "ML" argue for a Popular Front nowadays,even if we don't count this site,that kind of died with the Second World War

I'll bump every day at different timezones until proper replies have been made. I'm not really asking for much with the question in the OP of this thread. It should be answerable for an estimated 1/10th of the userbase of the site. I'll assume they just haven't seen it.

Tbf Kotkin recently said that Stalin was always against the popular front idea but retards like Thorez, Togliatti and obv Dimitrov convinced both the Comintern and the party itself. Its so funny how people were also still listening to Kun after doing the same pop front bullshit with Hungarian Soc-Dems

Maybe try looking at the German left, in the 20s social democrats of the Kautsky variety allied with KPD and formed the VKPD with a former Spartcist Paul Levi at the helm. These guys actually partook in the failed and I think adventurous insurrection in Middle Germany alongside KAPD(march action)
