    Cultural revolution? I thought Maoists were ones that follow the doctrine of protracted warfare as revolutionary praxis? That’s several decades before the cultural revolution.

      Maoists typically believe Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, Protracted People’s War, and the Mass Line are all universally applicable, and that all existing AES states are revisionist (with some making an exception for the DPRK). Mao himself was not a Maoist, but created Mao Zedong Thought as Marxism-Leninism applied to contemporary conditions in China.

      Maoism was created / synthesized by the shining path in 1988.

      Mao-zedong-thought (MZT) is different, and was and remains one of the guiding ideologies of the CPC.
