Maoism

Maoism or Mao Zedong Thought is a type of  Marxism-Leninism associated with Mao Zedong, the chairman of the Communist Party of China. As an Ideology, Maoism's main ideological focus is instating a communist system in agrarian and pre-  industrial societies (specifically China in the middle 20th century). Maoism can be identified as an economically far-left,  authoritarian, and  culturally far-left (ignoring it's stance on LGBT rights) ideology. It is important to note that Maoism proper was formulated by  Chairman Gonzalo and the  Peruvian Communist Party. During the times of Chairman Mao, his thought was known as Mao Zedong Thought.

Additions to [[file:Marxlen.png]] Marxism-Leninism
Maoism can be seen as both a continuity and rupture with classical Marxism-Leninism. Mao, throughout his Marxist revolution in China, formulated 5 new major additions to Marxism-Leninism, being the Mass Line, Protracted People's War, New Democracy, Cultural Revolution, and Three Worlds Theory.

Mass Line
The Mass Line is a theory that states that the Masses of Peasants and Workers must be in unison ideologically with the Communist Party. Therefore, Communist Party members must go unto the masses and consult their needs and gather information, which will be further relayed to the party. The party then interprets this information within a Socialist framework and applies this in a cultural or economic change.

Protracted People's War
Protracted People's War, or PPW, is a Guerilla Warfare theory developed by Chairman Mao during the Communist revolution against Nationalist China. It stresses the importance of a long and protracted struggle against Capitalism and  Imperialism, rejecting the  Insurrectionist theory mostly pushed by  Anarchists. The Vanguard Party will engage in a civil war with the current government through guerilla/mobile warfare, attacking military bases, supply lines and important structures, all while base-building the masses in support of the Party.
