What is Holla Forums's view on Maoism?

Pic unrelated

Class collaborationism and identity politics. Also, Taoist dialectics replacing Hegelian ones.

I've often heard about this but are there any books or articles to demonstrate this?

is this just orientalism railed against Mao to paint him in negative light?

Relies on tankie style rule with no democracy, resulting in corruption.

What about the Mass Line?

I don't like his stance on stalin (despite Mao's eventual criticisms of stalin I think he is insufficiently anti-stalinist for my tastes) but he has interesting ideas about class struggle continuing under socialism, mass line and the cultural revolution.

one of the worst memes of the left

Tbh taoist dialectics make more sense to me than Hegelian. Though I'd never admit it outside of here.

It's basically fascism.

Can you elaborate on what that is?

It's nationalism disguised as socialism.

Third worldism is reactionary thought disguised as anti imperialism

most kiddies here are first world muh privileged students of course they can't get behind mao's wisdom

Mao himself was a muh privileged student. That's probably why he came to the conclusions he did.

...

True. Most Maoists aren't Third Worldists, though.

Explain.

This meme doesn't really work because Rothbard was anti-democracy.

Anyway, Mao is terrible.

under its sway. Thus it is that the totality of human existence falls under the regime of the
"perfected denial of man."

I heard the Chinese prefer dealing with republican presidents

Western Maoists are like white Buddhists but 10x worse.

Although I'm no expert, I'll try to explain.

So, even at a surface level you can see the hegelain unity of opposites in the daoist concept of yin-yang (you're probably aware of the yin yang and its significance). The main difference is that unlike in Hegelian dialectics, the opposites are in harmony rather than antagonistic. Like Hegelian dialectics, taoism teaches that life progresses in a circular fashion and that we should behave like water in this progression of life, not ever standing rigid, but always flowing and never resisting progression.

The tao the ching and zhangzhui should be required reading for leftists tbh, because we've got too many "Orthodox" Marxists/Hegelians.

Daoism is also a secular philosophy

He could be a tad grim dark


tl;dr go ahead launch your nuclear bombs mankind is going to die anyways, implying we are even relevant on the universal scale

Sounds suspiciously structuralist

Does this lend itself to materialist interpretation and predictive models of history in the same way? Certainly the chapter has been closed on many phenomena of the past.

What do people think of Badiou's work on Maoism?

...

The current Chinese regime meets a lot of the basic requirements of fascism. It's an authoritative state that puts the profits of large scale big business over the civil liberties and living standards of the populace.

incomprehensible garbage,
can you give me a tl;dr?
I didn't understand it.

Is this a problem thing?

...

Maoism turned pants on head retarded when the cultural revolution happened.

They also should have kept industrializing and not using mass collectivization like Stalin did so abruptly.

when will this meme end.

Chinese workers had democracy. How is this bad?
Industrialization and collectivization intensified in the cultural revolution.

Don't know much about him. I do like the phrase "paper tigers" though.

It's shit
