If this is too close to sectarianism I get it, but I keep hearing about Marxist-Leninist-Maoists at the periphery of other discussions and all I know about them is:
- they seem to be distinct from other Maoist tendencies
- their name is often shortened to Maoist in conversation
- the tendency is at least nominally a synthesis of Mao's writings into prior ML theory, done by someone named Gonzalo
- their reputation among MLs seems to be deviant
- I think the rapper Power Struggle alludes to being one, which is my sole investment in this question
Thank you very much for the rundown, context is exactly what I was looking for. I don't have much to say about it, I was just curious where a rapper I like was coming from with lines like "Marx, Lenin, Mao got books to go around" and "combatting wrong ideas and revisionists", since those seemed like they could fit any ML tendency, but strongly suggested MLM
