    MLM is more well-known as an abbreviation for somehow legal pyramid schemes.

    Actually interesting you say this, I remember using MLM for Marxism–Leninism–Maoism for years before suddenly all my ex-friends and barely acquaintences started trying to con me into their makeup hustles.

    The further left the community is, the more likely Marxism–Leninism–Maoism ends up being the default assumption of a no-context use of MLM.

      I figured that was what it must have meant despite never seeing that abbreviation’s use.

      For the so-called Maoists, cope and seethe. You don’t win the abbreviation but you can have the dunk tank as consolation.
