    I’m an ML. Show me where MLM has made a positive difference for the poor.

      I fully admit maoism has a small footprint globally, but it's ignorant to say that it hasn't made a positive difference for the poor.

      Nepal was a monarchy until 2008 and that was ended because of a maoist organized PPW. Despite your critique of the length of the war in the Phillippines, there's peasantry under the protection of the CPP-NPA and the movement behind the NDF are actively helping the poor there, particularly LGBT+ and Indigenous groups.
