Huh? Marxist-Leninist-Maoists just add to Marxism-Leninism. Just because something is ML doesn't mean MLMs don't uphold it also. But the focus on having a correct political line, the necessity of ideological struggle, and self critisism are emphasized much more clearly in Mao than what I've read from Lenin in my experience. It might be in Lenin, I've only read a few of his books.
Plus, ML was synthesized by Stalin after Lenin's death, so I don't see what your point about MLM being synthesized after Mao's death has to do with anything.
MLM upholds AES but probably differ from what you consider to be AES. They think China under Deng is revisionist, but support the USSR and China under Mao. That's a small difference and one that should be resolved through ideological struggle, not just dismissal IMO.
From Gonzalo they get (as I understand) the universality of protracted people's war (which comes from Mao's take on dialectical materialism), concentric construction (basically a formalization Lenin in What Is to be Done) and I think "excellent leadership" which I only have a vague idea of.
So what do you mean by revisionist? I have always understood revisionist to mean basically stripping Marxism of it's revolutionary essence or anti-capitalist essence. MLM doesn't do that.
To say Maoists uphold lying in order to manipulate people... That's a hefty claim I've never seen any evidence of before. And honestly it sounds like an unprincipled accusation that comes from not wanting to engage with thinking/writing.

Like you think they are going to straight up lie about facts?
The Maoist position is that success comes from having a correct political line, which comes from struggling with ideas and self critisism a la dialectical materialism. You don't get power by trying to manipulate people through lies: you get power by demonstrating integrity and challenging yourself and others to arrive at an accurate political assessment that come from clear and correct principles.

The sex and intimacy in my relationship with my wife is so solid that I probably didn't need paternity tests, but I got them anyway so I could make epic owns on twitter

The point is to reach libs on the fence though
I just watched a few videos of Hakim and realized he doesn't get posted on r/Breadtube. Neither does bayarea415. I'm not much of a youtube watcher but I'm sure there's other good channels one could post also. Does anyone have experience posting ML videos there? Do they get removed? I've seen some comrades in the comments, so I was thinking maybe with a little special attention from this group we could take up a little space in that sub. Thoughts?
Seems best to not push socialism with Chinese characteristics but focus on basic dialectial materialism, USSR and Mao type points
AJC isn't communist or anything but glad to see they support communists over these absolute libs

To add to what others has said, the Navajo Nation and Black Belt (at a minimum) are areas that should constitute independent nations. I don't see a revolution succeeding without a balkanization of the country
Afaict, a car drove into the crowd, people started hitting the car with their hands, and the driver fired 8 shots, killing a one and injuring another. The deceased was a regular at the protests, who came with his wife who was in a wheelchair.

Holy shit, I just watched Thought Slime's video and I can not tell what Caleb was thinking with that video. He picked a fight with no basis and made a fool of himself. I just don't understand this whole format of "advancing ideas", where petit bougoise YouTube personalities react to each other's videos.
Also, their video shows Caleb at a nazbol meeting with a prominent nazbol, so it's not a baseless accusation.
I mean, though slime is a petit bougoise leftist and not a principled communist but they're entertaining and keep people to the left side of center.
It was a brilliantly worded article reflecting how the US writes about other countries and I think FB removed my link and Google shows it as a suggested search but the result isn't there. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

I got autobanned from both communism and communism101 for posting an article from Tribune of the People. I think it was just because I was an MTC or CTH poster
And it slaps! It's moving, informative, and I can't help laughing out loud often. They have so many episodes that it's a daily ritual for me go for a walk at sunset and listen to an episode. This book is really enforcing the idea that the vanguard in the USA must be lead by BIPOC.
