Is There a Need for a Marxist-Leninist International?

¿Hace falta la Internacional Marxista-Leninista?
Also, here are a few corrections to previous posts, notes on Tuesday's elections, etc.:
Bush and Obama tried to overthrow the government of Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez, first elected when Bill Clinton was the US president, and almost succeeded in the spring of 2002. Nicolas Maduro was first elected in April 2013 and has been targeted by both Democrats and Republicans ever since.
Trump almost started a disastrous war with Iran at the start of 2020, but it could also be mentioned that, if not for Russian diplomacy, Obama seemed to be about to start a direct war against Syria in 2013, and the US has been waging a proxy war against Syria. Since I wrote that post it could be noted that while Obama and Hillary Clinton supported the 2009 coup in Honduras and successful removed president Zelaya, a year ago Trump supported the coup in Bolivia against Venezuela ally Evo Morales of the Movement Toward Socialism (MAS) and, though Morales is still in exile, a recent election again gave the presidency and legislative majority to MAS.
Also, did NCCU's WNCU 90.7 FM censor Democracy Now! shortly after 7:30pm Monday, October 19th because Jeremy Scahill (?) was rightly condemning Obama for killing American citizens, some minors not accused of any crime, overseas, as well as condemning Trump's violence? The broadcast was interrupted and did not continue, without explanation.
Supposedly China, Iran, and Cuba want Biden elected, which would be some of his best endorsements if true (yet Biden attacks Trump from the right on China and the media is media is beginning to talk about the possibility of a war with geographically huge, populous, technologically sophisticated, and nuclear-armed China in the near future, such as on the BBC yesterday). After a prolonged period of silence, a new issue of the Revolutionary Organization Labor, USA's newsletter is calling for voting for Biden, as are some other Marxist groups (ROL supported Jill Stein of the Green Party in 2016). That could be the correct course, but on the other hand the Freedom Road Socialist Organization (publisher of Fight Back!) supported the Obama campaign (I think beyond just voting), and then the Obama-Biden administration spied on and harassed them for anti-imperialist organizing. Every four years the line from some is that we have to vote for some awful Democrat, because the "ultra-right," greatest mass murderers in history (whatever Noam Chomsky has been saying) Republican Party is worse, and we can vote for a better candidate in some future election that will never come (in the meantime holding the awful Democrat's 'feet to the fire,' but more effort and money is put into electing Democrats than to criticism and holding them accountable, organizing a better option, or demonstrating when they engage in "humanitarian interventionist" wars, "pivot to Asia," shield CIA torture and NSA domestic surveillance, push "free trade" agreements and austerity, engaged in mass deportations, broke up Occupy Wall Street, wouldn't consider Medicare for All or a real Green New Deal, etc. ).
Before the primary election, I think the Independent Weekly said Democratic US Senate candidate Cal Cunningham had been involved in the 751 South project, which would explain why his name seemed familiar and would be a large negative mark if true.
