No, but America is in the heart of the imperial core not a feudal country or under threat of colonialism or imperialism, I guess you could argue there are groups in the US that suffer from and under our imperialist and colonialist system and they could apply these kinds of thing like the Black Panthers did, but even the Black Panthers were Maoists.
Like, I am just an idiot, and maybe I am judging them unfairly when I don't know alot about them, but it just seems kind of ego-stroking and larpy to me, maybe their approach will actually be successful, but tbh I don't foresee it being so.
Although tbh, I don't see much revolutionary efforts in the US being successful so maybe just call me a doomer, at the very least I think we should have a semi-big tent socialist movement to start with and then maybe when some progress has been made and some serious pressure applied we can see whose practices come out on top and are best suited for meeting the current situation (spoiler alert, probably the ML's).
This is completely false. They practiced mass line and democratic centralism. They may not have been ML or MLM openly or officially, but they consciously practiced ML and MLM organizing strategies.
Larping is saying you are a socialist and selling out to the bourgeoisie by supporting social democracy fueled by imperialism.
Mao was an ardent Marxist-Leninist and Marxism-Leminism is part of the Chinese constitution to this day. He reformed it both philosophically and with additions to organizing like mass like and guerilla tactics.
Listen, you want to be an anti capitalist using anarchist means for organizing? That's good for you, but don't say Marxism-Leninism is larping when it's pretty clear you don't know what you are talking about.
The USSR is a past socialist experiment. Marxism-Leninism is a method of political organizing that has been used VERY extensively all over the world over the past century and has led to many successful revolutions and national liberation movements in African, Latin America and Asia.
Are you seriously suggesting that Marxism-Leninism is only applicable to feudal Russia?

The Black Panthers weren't Maoists in any official sense. They just kinda found the little red book or whatever to be neat.

Yeah but not Maoist specifically.
