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

    My mind automatically switches all 3 terms up until it has reached the most absurd possible meaning of a sentence containing the MLM acronym. It keeps doing that on its own, i can't really help it.

      galaxy-brain using MLM interchangeably depending on what makes the funniest sentence

      gigachad-hd assuming MLM stands for all 3 terms at the same time
