Do any of you faggots even know who Clausewitz is?
Every day I see some idealistic kid saying how we should be like some south american che guevara-inspired militia (they always get assblasted) but we never actually talk about how Maoist groups have consistently achieved political power through actual pragmatism. The working-class will never have a revolution if you don't know basic political and military fundamentals like Clausewitz' theories.
guevarism-castroism victories:
maoist "victories"
gueravism losses
maoist losses
I've read the "very short introduction" to him because Holla Forums told me that's enough.
There's a thread about these kinds of things on /freedu/, check it out: >>>/freedu/993
good job outing yourself as a know-nothing retard, Clausewitz never claims his writing is instructional. in fact he says absolutely his writing CANNOT teach generalship, and that it exists primarily to formalize military history and scholarship, and secondarily that fragments of what he writes may spark new ideas in the mind of an already great general (Clausewitz contends that great generals are prodigious)
Logistics wins wars.
Bolivia and the Congo, for Che
and if you're counting El Salvador as a victory, go ahead and count Nepal. India is ongoing, but there are communist governments in Kerala and West Bengal, though I don't know enough to say if they're the related of the Naxalite insurgency.
Clausewitz was the guy who made the Stellar is engine, right? :^)
I specifically said military theory. Clauzewitz' is known as literally the basis for it, which you just pretty much admitted.
Cuba had unique circumstances which he then applied to the rest of the world as a legitimate strategy. Foco was an absolute failure in Bolivia (where Che got his dumbass shot, unfortunately) and the Sandanistas only won through popular support (Foco says you can make the conditions of revolution, while in violent revolution), essentially abandoning the method of Foco.
This is what I mean. It's not even the study of what Mao says either. It's just not being a narcissistic faggot and contributing actual strategy.
Known largely as the guy who created the basis to which formulate military thought and doctrine*
We need to make a list of left-wing military writings tbh. Not only explicitly civil war stuff, but also street fighting and shit, like Trotsky's letters to german communists in the 30s, which take into account media, police and popular reaction.
Something really interesting I stumbled upon recently is this:
versobooks.com
A text written by Comintern staff in the late 20s based on their experiences with insurrections up until that point. It includes Ho Chi Minh, Tukhachevsky, people from the failed german revolution and people who got rekt staging the desperate uprisings in the baltics ordered by Zinoviev when he was trying to gain political capital. Couldn't find an online copy so far.
Also, remember that Blanqui wrote about his experiences as an insurgent.

UPHOLD FOCO THEORY.

there is a fundamental difference between guevarist and maoist insurgencies:
guevarists, unlike maoists, aren't genocidal fuckwits and win popular support.
of course, if you want to make a fascist shithole, technologically dependent of other superpowers, go ahead and support the naxalites and shining path.
in the other hand, if you want to achieve socialism, or at least to improve worker's life quality, you better start supporting bolchevism or guevarism.
Which conflict are you talking about?
You mean like the ones in Nepal? How's that been going lately?

The leftybooks archive has von Clausewitz, Guevara, Mao, Sun Tsu, and even US military training manuals.

Isn't the only real difference between the two that Gueverists focus mostly on military matters and have the party hierarchy integrated into the military hierarchy, whereas Maoists conduct lots of non-military activity (setting up schools, peasants councils etc in rural areas) and also the party and military structures are separate?
