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
  • JSwift [none/use name]

    I'd recommend the book Critique of Maoist Reason https://foreignlanguages.press/new-roads/critique-of-maoist-reason-j-moufawad-paul/ (link has free pdf) for a short description and history of Maoism and it's different tendencies, including MLM.
