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
What does Socialism in the 21st Century refer to here?
Not OP but I understand that term to refer to the ideology of what are sometimes called the Bolivarian revolutions, in Venezuela, Bolivia, Nicaragua
