Took part in an RGS and the head people all push that Maoism is scientifically the best form of Communism. Can anyone explain this view? Also, the group seems to want everyone to hold this view. Isn’t splitting into sub-ideologies hurting the potential for a larger movement?

-a confused newbie.

    Thanks, this is also helpful. Any reading recommendations?

    BTW why is your text background all brown and hard to read?

      There’s a new UI feature that makes new comments have a different background color. It expires after a few minutes.

      Seems to be the indicator for “new reply” in the new lemmy version. Maybe whoever implemented that did not consider how that’d be harder to read for some folks. As a quick fix you can just refresh the page again.

      Any reading recommendations?

      On critiques of MLM specifically or just MLM in general? If the latter, the PCP had a web page that’s still up on the web archive, complete with a very long and detailed FAQ section in both English and Spanish. No better sources for their beliefs than themselves.

      Now the criticisms were mostly loose texts in Portuguese (in particular against our own university Maoists), so they won’t be of much help. But I’ve heard that there’s some ProleWiki book with heavy critiques of the Peruvian people’s war in the works.

        Thanks for explaining. Very hard to read, hope I can change that.

        I will check out that website, thanks. I will try to find more.
