    I don’t know all of the details, but i think generally Mao Zedong understood that he didn’t always make the right decision and learned from them, whereas Maoists think he wasn’t ever wrong.

    Maybe its more complicated than that. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.

        Dogmatism is a great way to describe it. Mao once said to support everything the enemy opposes and to oppose everything the enemy supports. I loved Mao’s quotations but that one sucks. If that quote isn’t an encapsulation of Dogmatism, I genuinely don’t know what else is.
