Otherwise proper nouns loose all meaning
Alright so I can't identify myself freely, if I'm not going to fight for it or shoot people in regards to my ideology?
You are free to call yourself a giraffe. It simply won't make you one - you will be wrong. Modern colleage campus "Maoists" are free to call themselves that but they are wrong. Maoism REQUIRES you to shoot people that stand in the way of the revolution. There is no such thing as moderate Maoism. Not to mention Chinese Communism was always distinctly Nationalistic as it was seen as a tool to overthrow the Western de facto colonisers first and foremost. Modern US "Maoists" have no coloniser to fight against - even if they wanted to be Maoist AND started killing they still wouldn't be true Maoists. They'd be simmilar but not quite there still...
Not to mention modern Western Communists believe in a ridiculously romanticised version of Communism that simply does not compare to the real thing in action
They are useful indoctrinated idiots
(for the most part)
They are tools of the ideology
Not actual ideologues
Somewhat somilarily to your average Russian peasant in the 1920s
They are not communists
they are simply being used by Communists for their Communist goals
You're confusing the means and actions taken by any community to proclaim their goals and their actual belief
If I say that I am an "x"ist, it's not because I want a massacre in the name of x, it's because I think x is the ideal form of a society
How we reach there is irrelevant
See, most of the commies you will see online, except from the edgy teens who make "1 mil years of gulag ehehe" jokes constantly believe education will bring communism, this means they don't want to repeat the bloodbath that happened with soviets
Sure, you're right
They are Communists
(and retards)
but not MAoisrs
If I had to choose a spiritual father for them I'd go with Liev "Trotsky" Bronshtein rather than Mao
S'not exactly there
but it's miles closer to being there than to being Maoist
I mean if we wanted to be really precise
They are probably more like Satrists-Marcuseists
with the emphesis on Marcuseists
but even then
I'd still call them tools of Marcuse's Ideas
rather than promlgators of them
MArcuse was a fucking propagandist
he didn't believe any of the shit he sold to these cunts
he did it 'cause he saw it as a viable tactic
At least that's the only reading of his essays that I can manage without coming to the conclusion that he was SEVERELY retarded
and his writing style is too good to be that of a retard tbh
I'd reccomend a very shot esay by Herbert Marcuse (s'like 10 pages long) called Repressive Tolerance
You'll see what I mean
ok. So ill assume you faggots are done and ill try this a second time
FUCK CHINA! Amirite?
yes
Meh, I'm more or less fine with China tbh. I don't see why I'd favore the US over them...
