Maoism
Chinese revolutionary ideology
Maoism is the political ideology derived from the thought of Mao Zedong, emphasizing peasant-led revolution, guerrilla warfare, and continuous class struggle even after seizing power.
Unlike orthodox Marxism's focus on urban workers, Maoism sees rural populations as revolutionary agents.
The Cultural Revolution exemplified Maoist principles of permanent revolution against perceived bourgeois elements.
Various insurgent groups worldwide have adopted Maoist frameworks: Maoist rebels control parts of the countryside.
The adjective is Maoist.
