Very recently I’ve been questioning Marxism-Leninism and MZT, after a very good friend of mine has told me they’re considering Maoism themselves, and after I’ve seen many former M-Ls become either MLMs or Hoaxhaists, in some rarer cases. My question to anyone who reads this, regardless of tendency, is so; do you think Marxism-Leninism is more equipped to deal with the modern proletariat’s liberation, or does that fall on Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, rendering Marxism-Leninism/MZT revisionist? Respond with your case for either in the comments section.

And if I may add, this is my first post on this site!

    Maoism and MZT are already well-defined terms, and trying to reverse their meaning will just lead to confusion. Not to mention that the CPC itself uses the term MZT (eg in the Chinese constitution).

    And there is also a good reason why MZT is not called Maoism: while Marxism analyses capitalism, and Lenin analyses imperialism, there is no qualitatively new development of capitalism which Mao could have analysed. Instead, he applied Marxism-Leninism to the material conditions of China.
