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
Sorta depends on the party. A big chunk of Nepalese Maoists broke off the parliamentary party after Prachanda went all loony and announced his own version of Maoism.
Still waiting to meet a western Marxist who upholds Marxism-Leninism-Maoism Prachanda Path as their personal tendency.
i met one and pushed him off a bridge
