I've never understood this. Smashies seem to embody the chaos element in Maoism.
Why do Maoists generally hate smashies?
Lincoln Robinson
Jayden Baker
Same reason Trots hate them: they don't control them.
Isaac Garcia
because they're a detriment to our movement.
being able to label communists as "ANDIFA TURRISTS HURR" does not help us in any way. maybe if they could assassinate some CEOs instead of burning down the vans of construction workers they would be liked just a little
scientifically, smashies have done nothing but make communism look worse than it already does.
Joshua James
Is there Mautist vs Smashie footage out there?
Austin Martinez
But I thought Maoists basically are just tankies with smashie charachteristics, are they not? Look at Red Guards Austen and LA, they're literally just black bloc anarchists, but with machine guns and edgy Cultural Revolution aesthetics.
Ian Anderson
Don't forget the most important part–if you try to become a member and you don't suffer from gender dysphoria you are literally nothing but a fascist in training.
Nathaniel Bennett
Not sure if I agree with this statement. I assumed Maoists would BE smashies themselves given that they consider the entirety of the First World to be bourgeois and/or labour aristocracy, and bringing the violence home (so to say) could be used as some kind of strategy, similar to the Weathermen and SLA.
Jacob Walker
burning a couple dozen cars barely puts a scratch on any first world nation.
Aiden Anderson
But it brings the violence of imperialism home. That's the whole idea.
Daniel Sanchez
Here's the example from today:

All anarchists, no Maoists. Why?
