MZDT: incorporated his contributions, applications and critiques to Marxism-Leninism. Usually much more open about ideas, using his framework to analyze contributions from comrads.
Maoism: the more left the better, and any sign of reactionary or capitalism cannot be tolerated. Ideological purity is the end-goal, whether it would benefit the people or not.
So, MZDT would suggest that Mao was right in agreeing to incorporate the stars in the Chinese flag representing the local bourgeoisie and national bourgeoisie. Maoists would say that Mao is revisionist. Which is actually a conversation that happened. I didn’t think these people actually existed until I met one.
Personally I don’t like the term Maoist. They should be called the ultra-left. I’d like to call myself a Maoist because I’m a pretty big fan of his ideas but I can’t do that.
I've always thought New Democracy, Mass Line and Cultural Revolution (and even protracted war to some extent) are fantastic ideas. Self identified MLMs seem to like to ruin it by shitting on AES countries and accusing all slights as revisionist.

Yeah same here, Mao is great, 'Maoists' suck due to tribalism taken to a absurd degree.
Its why they call us 'dengists' lol.
