As I’ve been more immersed in ML spaces, I’ve noticed a few people talk about their distrust or disliking towards “ultras”, referring to hardline Maoists, particularly in Western countries. I have read and seen some articles by them, such as this blog post by Black Like Mao which claims China is not a socialist power and is exploiting African countries. They similarly accuse the USSR, Vietnam, and Burkin Faso of the same thing.
Having gone from being an anarchist to a Marxist-Leninist, I try not to just jump on board with mass criticism of other communist ideologies, as many anarchists have with “tankies”, so I’ve been curious to understand the ultra ideology and mindset and critically analysis it.
I wanted to understand ML criticisms and opinions of ultras to understand their disagreements (or agreements) with their beliefs, given I’m not totally familiar with Maoist theory.

u/parentis_shotgun - originally from r/GenZhouI also can add my china is socialist post if you want that.
u/deadboy9000 - originally from r/GenZhouI think I have this one and the china post saved already, but do you have any more posts like this on other topics? I’d love to see them. Thanks for all your hard work, comrade.
u/parentis_shotgun - originally from r/GenZhouYeah, everything’s linked here, and they’re going to be more up to date than my reddit posts.
u/deadboy9000 - originally from r/GenZhouOh wow, I actually already have that site bookmarked. I reference it pretty often. Didn’t put it together that your reddit posts were from there. That’s a lot of amazing work, comrade. Thanks for all you do.
u/parentis_shotgun - originally from r/GenZhouNo probs.
u/dornish1919 - originally from r/GenZhouThat’d be great, ultras and leftcoms love to hark on PRC, so a post breaking down why it’s inherently socialist would help bring a great many things to light to those of us still learning.

Is China State Capitalist?
u/Neutral_Milk_ - originally from r/GenZhoui think that would be relevant. thanks for compiling these sources, hopefully it will help enlighten those who stumble across this in the future.
u/parentis_shotgun - originally from r/GenZhouNo probs.
u/FatFingerHelperBot - originally from r/GenZhouIt seems that your comment contains 1 or more links that are hard to tap for mobile users. I will extend those so they’re easier for our sausage fingers to click!
