    If we’re talking about an Immortal Science, why hasn’t it advanced in the last 100ish years? Why did it simply stay with Lenin?

    Meanwhile, on planet Earth, every Marxist Revolutionary movement since 1960 (with notable exceptions that chart their own path,) learns more from Mao.

    Take your vanguard, wrap it in 5th column tactics, and teach it about this magical fucking thing called:

    “Consent.”

    And then do this actual work of Learning From Mistakes.

    Congrats, you have graduated to the Mass Line instead of the thing Trotskyists demonstrate over and over is vulnerable to Fash infiltration.

    THEN you can call your ideology “Scientific” without everyone else in the Left giggling at you.

      MLs don’t reject Mao, MLs reject the idea that concepts like Protracted People’s War and Cultural Revolution are universally applicable, rather than being more suited to China’s conditions as a primarily agrarian country pre-revolution. Marxism-Leninism has continued to evolve over time, and much of it does take from Mao without thinking there’s going to be a Protracted People’s War in the US. The reason Maoism is popular in areas like where the Naxalites have power is due to their material conditions more closely aligning with China’s conditions during their revolution, not due to the inherent universality of Mao’s application of Marxism-Leninism towards China’s conditions.

      Even the Mass Line is adopted by some Marxist-Leninist orgs, like FRSO.

      I stopped asking because I usually just get downvoted too without any answers
