Funny how the article you replied to exactly addresses your present behaviour.

[–] Calfpupa@lemmy.ml 9 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I encourage you to refute the information in the article on the basis of its content, not who wrote it!

There are a lot of fans of Mao on Lemmy, Lemmy was made by communists. Less Maoist, more Marxist-Leninists though (which Mao considered himself to be).

ML+MZT has so many good morsels in it.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 months ago

Yep, there's a lot of good stuff in Mao!

maoists aren't marxists?

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They are. Mao was a Marxist-Leninist, and Marxist-Leninists support Mao (for most things, at least, same as Stalin, Castro, Ho Chi Minh, etc.). "Maoism," however, is a branch of Marxism that diverges from Marxism-Leninism, as Maoists believe Mao took Marxism to a new, higher universal level. I disagree with this idea, as do many people on Lemmy.

In short, Mao was a fantastic Marxist-Leninist, but some view him as more than that and as having created new universal strategies and analysis, and these people are Marxist-Leninist-Maoists, rather than Marxism-Leninism Mao Zedong Thought. The CPC follows Marxism-Leninism Xi Jinping Thought, which carries forward Mao Zedong Thought but rejects "Maoism," as an example.

MZT - Mao's application of Marxism-Leninism to China's conditions as contemporary to his era

Maoism - MZT but universal, plus some other stuff from Gonzalo and Sison.

Maoists believe the CPC is "revisionist," usually rejecting most modern AES states.

You're clearly a unique thinker and not influenced at all by decades of anticommunist propaganda.

Life expectancy increased from 35 in 1949 to 65 in the 1970s when Mao’s rule came to an end.
