Maoism
Reworks Marxist revolutionary politics around peasant mobilization, party leadership, and continuing class struggle after a revolution. Different later movements interpret Mao’s ideas and the role of revolutionary organization differently.
Reference boundary: Neither socialism nor support for institutional change establishes Maoism. Armed strategy and particular doctrines require direct evidence, which the core instrument does not supply.
Foundational doctrines
- Peasant mobilization
- Revolutionary party
- Continuing class struggle
Disagreement and variation
The Cultural Revolution used mass campaigns to attack perceived opponents and reassert Mao’s authority, producing persecution and institutional disruption. A historical governing record and a later movement’s stated theory need separate examination.
