Everyone agrees that China's foreign during the end of Mao's life and post-Mao is awful. It still does not lessen Mao's criticism of revisionism in the Soviet Republics and the need to launch the Cultural Revolution.
You can't seperate his foreign policy from the rest of ideology. Even if the material conditions were similar enough for a "cultural revolution" to happen in the USSR, it was a disaster that led to an even swifter victory of the capitalist roaders within the Chinese party anyways. Mao had no real alternative to them (there arguably wasn't one), and they won. Can rage about it or whatever but the flow of history goes on, time to move on.

Of course you can. I can perfectly seperate Mao Zedong Thought and its value and contributions to marxism and leninism with whatever foreign policy brainworms arose from a spicific complex geopolitical relationship between two great powers at a specific point in history that can be analysed into a hunded vectors .If you cant thats too bad for you. And if you want to pin it on being Mao's specific failed decisions and dumb cringe positions then whatever be my guest. Just claiming that they are inseperable from the actual theoretical underpinning of Maoism and specific points in his writtings and were flowed from there doesnt make it true. And if you arent claiming that then you can just seperate them like i did.
Also its very clear that you posted this to have struggle sessions and "own" people and then go around telling them how much they are coping. Dunno if this should be welcome in the community
They said "Mao was right", that's obviously related to the foreign policy referenced even if they try to say "oh well everyone knows his foreign policy was bad" to make a distinction. I posted a meme cuz it was funny and replied to some comments, you can quit projecting.
and what i commented had nothing to do with the person you were replying to. I just responded to a specific dumb general statement in your comment :mao-wtf:

well I agreed with this until the shitting on Deng
I am very critical of Deng and sympathetic to Maoism, I probably was being too sectarian so I'll edit it out
