This might not be the most satisfying answer, but my opinions of Maoism are based on what I've read of his principal texts and of the economic and social revitalization of China since he was in power. I live in the imperial core, and when I look around at the societal problems in my community and in my country writ large, I see immediate land redistribution as the swiftest cure to the largest issue, and Mao in my mind is the foremost advocate, architect, and practitioner of anticapitalist land redistribution on the national scale.

So my view is mostly from old books and from my neighborhood, and I'm not too well versed with the other cells around the world who claim the Maoist title. All I'll say about the Nepalese Maoists is, my knee-jerk reaction to anticapitalist forces is support, I don't know enough about them to comment further, and I hesitate to levy judgment on people across the world from me.
