Consider this my formal introduction.
Hello, my name is [redacted], I am a 23 year old cisgender male. I am a Marxist-Leninist, and I am a US citizen currently in the vetting process for the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL). I came here because Reddit shadowbanned me, and honestly, I needed a forum without liberal propaganda. It was infuriating. I am also on Mastodon and Bluesky, and I am excited to be here!
Welcome! I think you’ll find our community of Russian bots and CCP shills most pleasant.
Beautiful, more of a CPC fan myself, which is odd given that I am a ML and not a Maoist, but open to the idea.
Maoism is a dogmatist deviation of marxism and completely divorced from Mao himself, it came from the Shining Path in Peru in 1988. Now there is a maoism in China but the way they use the word means Mao Zedong Thought, not Guzman’s interpretation. Actually I don’t even think most Chinese are aware of the Shining Path. Today China’s ideology is officially Socialism with Chinese Characteristics.

Lemmygrad is Marxist-Leninist, but Hexbear is non-sectarian just to let you know. Although I think most of us on Hexbear are ML.
But, yeah, Maoism is different from Mao Zedong Thought as the Comrade was pointing out. Maoism is kinda wild but I appreciate their linguistic dialect. Mao Zedong Thought along with Dengism, I think, is pretty cool considering how effective it was in the construction of contemporary China. I am more Third Worldist now than I used to be, if that’s what you mean, in thinking that the US will not see a successful movement until it’s no longer the home of a bourgeois-aspiring labor aristocracy. There is more potential in the Global South until then and we’ll only see the US lose that crucial aspect as the Global South develops politically and economically, I think.
