Lead Graph Assumes Too Much Reader Familiarity[edit]

The lead sentence simply LISTS where the Revolutionary Youth Movement exists within the history of Socialist movements in the US. The next sentence immediately uses all four acronyms from the intro to discuss these entities' interactions with each other, with no other background or context. I, for example, came here from Ghosting (identity theft), which clearly doesn't set one up for the Judean People's Front-style divisions among American leftist movements.

I get that SOME familiarity with US politics is expected, but this is a big jump.

Since it was linked from somewhere unrelated, I presume it's sufficiently Notable to be here; so why can't it be explained in terms that are relevant to the general reader? — Preceding unsigned comment added by JasCollins (talk • contribs) 21:15, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
