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
Marxism-Leninism-Maoism-principally Maoism-Gonzalo Thought
Historically MLMpM was used by the PCP to emphasize that Maoism is an advancement on MLs, but I'm not sure why Western Maoists are so keen on using it in the modern context when MLM has been decently established. Makes it into a word salad too.
