I'll preface this by saying this is an ML post on a ML sub written for an ML audience. This post will contain sectarian critiques on the ultra-Left as well as anarchists.

Thanks for the clarification. That's what I assumed was the case, but I've seen a lot of people even here refer to MLM as defined by Shining Path. It sucks that people just take Gonzalo of all people's word for it
At most the new thing Gonzalo "added" in his "synthesizing" of maoism is that their dogmatic and monolithic version and experience of a people's war and maoist guirella tactics are universaly aplicable as is . Something thats obviously dumb even if you can argue that people's war can successfully take many forms in more industrialized urban enviroments (like what actual Mao Zedong Thought following Black Panthers showed). Now other parties engaging in people's war rn or actively having done so might adopt this general view but that doesnt make the Gonzalo-ites
