<comments />
- ↑ The ideology of the Taiping was called "God Worshipping Society" which was a mix of Christian Communism, Chinese Theocracy, Stratocracy, Absolute Monarchism, Protestant Theocracy, Totalitarianism, Christian Feminism and Militarism.
- ↑ A lot of these groups and the SDF are allies
- ↑ Golan Regiment were previous a rebel group but they defected to Assad's side
- ↑ The ideology of the Galilee Forces is Defensive Jihadism
- ↑ The Lions of Hussein were originally a criminal syndicate
- ↑ Peshmerga in Iraqi Kurdistan is also further divided between the two largest Kurdish parties in the region: big tent KDP and centrer-left PUK.
- ↑ Naxalites aren't a single organisation, but rather a term for any militant group which claims to be the successor to the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist)
- ↑ Khmer Issarak wasn't originally Communist, but eventually the Communist factions took over the organisation
