Maoism

[the last donut of the night]

What is it? What is its history? What are some theoretical criticisms of it? Do most Maoists support the USSR before Khrushchev?

Thanks.

And yes, all of us uphold Stalin.

[Rjevan]

Very short summary (it's late): It is a communist tendency which follows the theories of Mao Tse Tung. And yes, Maoists support the USSR under Stalin's leadership but after the Sino-Soviet split in the early 60s Mao declared that the USSR is lead by revisionists and is, in contrast to China no Marxist-Leninist state anymore.

The link red cat provided explains Maoism more in-depth and if you are further interested take a look at the Little Red Book, the basic read for every Maoist:
