I would like to know what communist tendency you follow, why you follow it and who best represents your tendency of communism weather it be a modern day country like China or a country like the USSR?
The answer to this question myself is that I am a Marxist-Leninist. I follow Marxism Leninism because it gives power to the working class rather than the bourgeois and aims for a classless money less society this is achieved through following Marxist Leninist theory and analyzing the conditions in the country you are trying to achieve Marxism-Leninism in. Those who best represent Marxism Leninism for me are Lenin, Stalin, Mao, and Hoxha.
My accounts are being downvote-botted, this happens mostly on Lemmy.ml but sometimes happens elsewhere. That might be it.
I agree that Maoism is incorrect, and that Mao Zedong Thought is not universal. I agree that some aspects can be used in certain conditions, which is the ML line. The Sisonists have generally softened their views on universality (though not totally), such as modifying PPW for urban settings into the general process of preparing for revolution, which MLs agree with by other terms.
I guess I have to read Sison if I want to learn about Maoism from someone that is not a Gonzaloist (though I doubt Sison will be much different).
There’s a good deal of writing on Maoism and Sison on Prolewiki and here. Problems with Maoism is a good primer, as is the article on Sison himself.
