      Internet people throwing around quotes from Lenin, Stalin and Mao but hating current China and all other AES. At least they used to be like that because lately they are forgetting even the quotes. Example from OP is a gonzaloist which is extreme sectarian case.

        Honestly, I think most of them are gonzaloists, they just know that if they openly admit they admire him, people will dismiss what they have to say, so they claim to be one of the “non-gonzalist Maoists” which just seems to be maoists with a tiny bit of shame left, but still lacking the self awareness of every other maoist.

        I will say that Jason Unruhe has a good take once in a blue moon. But over the past multiple years he’s become more reactionary.
