    “Maoist” as in an MLM? Which communist governments or movements does he hold up as worthy of support? The problem I end up running into with certain Maoist groups is that they tend to be dogmatic to a degree that none of the people in their acronym ever were and all three of which actively wrote and spoke against that type of dogmatism. And I’m nothing resembling an expert but it seems to be a failure of the the theory itself (that is the theory synthesized by Gonzalo, who himself got so wrapped up in his dogmatic ideas that he ended up ordering atrocities and alienating the people he meant to help, thereby failing to take state power in a Peru where it was ripe for taking).
