i lack reading on that part, all i know is that what people refer to maoism was wrote by abimael guzman aka presidente gonzalo, chairman of communist party of peru aka sendero luminoso (shining path).
there is a lot of memes going around about him and sendero, never understood fully tho.
there is a dude i like to watch named joao carvalho that claims to be maoist, he say that guzman wrapped up mao theory much like stalin with lenin, but he and the party brought themselves to ruin with virulent leftism, the same that is still present on people that read guzman. he says if you filter out the leftism, it is some good stuff also the so maoist hate him because he isnt a real maoist because he isn’t leftist

Anyone who props up guzman is an idiot, he killed more indigenous socialists than he did capitalists.
I recommend Matthew Rothwell and his analysis. He’s a leftist historian who specializes in China and the export of Maoism.
He has a podcast episode dedicated to a review of a book describing the shining path,

And he wrote a book on the shining path.
thanks for the recommendation, comrade
