Maoists
Red Book followers
Maoists are followers of Mao Zedong's variant of communism, emphasizing peasant-led revolution, guerrilla warfare, and continuous class struggle.
The term applies both to historical supporters of Mao's China and to contemporary insurgent movements, particularly in South Asia: Maoist rebels control large swaths of rural India.
The adjective Maoist describes policies or ideology derived from Mao's teachings.
