:'''Existence''': The {{wpl|Communist International||,}} founded by [[Lenin]] and dissolved by [[Stalin]], usually refers to the Third International, which was in existence from 1919–1943. The First International, known as the {{wpl|International Workingmen's Association||,}} was a mixture of socialist, communist, [[anarchist]] and [[trade union]]ist groups; it formed in 1864. The First International split in two in 1876 over disputes between  [[anarchists]] and statists (i.e. everyone else). The {{wpl|Second International}} formed in 1889 and was dissolved in 1916 because of failure to agree about [[World War I]]. The {{wpl|Fourth International}} was founded in 1938 as a response to [[Trotsky]]'s expulsion from the [[Soviet Union]]; it is explicitly Trotskyist. There have been several calls for a {{wpl|Fifth International}} (including by [[Hugo Chávez]]), starting in 1938, the same year that the Fourth International was formed.

:If nothing else, the various communist internationals can be characterized as being highly [[schism]]atic.
