Best intro books for maoism?
Grayson Fisher
Samuel Williams
Maoists don't read.
John Gonzalez
Continuity and Rupture is a very good modern defense of it.
Camden Jackson
ebin xDDDD
Michael Hall
Checked.
What books written by the big man himself would you recommend?
Bentley Jackson
On Contradiction and On Practice are the standard main works. I personally recommend to complimentary read Althusser, particulary Contradiction and Overdetermination after On Contradiction
marxists.org
Robert Miller
Cheers lad. So what do you think of the current government?
Thomas Johnson
Read Memoirs of a Minimum Wage Security Guard by Jason Unruhe. Hes really the foremost theorist of the modern Maoist movement, maybe greater than Mao himself.
Jacob Butler
Serious answers only please.
Aiden Baker
Don't you mean chairman Bob "New Synthesis" Avakian?
Jacob Morales
Of China? It's revisionist, they make insane mental gymnastics with Marx to justify their policies. I know there are serious Marxists/Maoists in the party, so I don't condemn the CCP as a whole, but the ones in power are shit. Some people argue that the billionaire entrepreneurs in the party operate under the heel of the party leadership, this may be true, but they are still revisionist.
What I find ironic is that Mao originally critisized dialectical materialism, almost rejected it, and now the CCP embraces the most vulgar form of dialectical materialism, arguing that you need some Star Trek development points before you can have socialism.
Blake Cooper
Is this in those two books you gave me?
Michael Brooks
On Practice is great.
perhaps read this, if you're into the revolutionary aspect? marxists.org
Christian Taylor
Currently looking more into the more theoretical aspects of maos philosophy rather than his guerilla war tactics, but I will keep it in the back of my head.
Samuel Cooper
Not directly, read this book if you want to know more about it.

surprised no one said Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-Tung aka the little red book
I agree with reading 'On Practice'. 'On Contradiction' was a little more difficult and original. Althusser's 'Overdetermination' essay is good, too.
I'm not really so much of a Maoist or Marxist-Leninist though. More of an ultra.

If you want 'intro' then maybe you want Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-Tung aka the little red book?
