    Technically speaking, Mao was a Marxist-Leninist and Maoism in its current form wasn’t invented till the 1980s.

      I think Maoism can either refer to Marxism-Leninism Mao Zedong Thought (ML-MZT), or it can refer to Marxism-Leninism-Maoism (MLM) depending on the context - these days it’s mostly used for the latter

        That is correct.

        Maoism also referred to those in the 60s and 70s that supported China over the Soviet Union in the West.
