i think the quote is taken out of context. i think he is more referring to a united front/revolutionary defeatism than for it to be taken 100% seriously. Mao wasn't an idiot

EDIT: found the context(in Selected Works Vol. 2) - he was indeed talking about a united front against Japan.

they're not necessarily opposing viewpoints. revolution can be inevitable whilst still requiring a human action to start it

MLMs reject various Maoist ideas like the three worlds theory. The principles they advocate for are in many ways indistinguishable from baseline Marxism-Leninism, they just take it a step further with dogmatism.

I've always thought New Democracy, Mass Line and Cultural Revolution (and even protracted war to some extent) are fantastic ideas. Self identified MLMs seem to like to ruin it by shitting on AES countries and accusing all slights as revisionist.

No doubt. Free palestine.

I would absolutely support a 2 state solution as the first step in advancement of Palestinian regional power. It would not tackle the fundamental issue however, nor do I even remotely believe Israel would give up their west bank settlements and give the Palestinians a state willingly.

Do you think people in Gaza don't want the Zionist entity to be dismantled in it's entirety? The only way to end the antagonism of settler colonialism is to overthrow the perpetrators, otherwise it will end up in the same place indigenous Americans are

Also putting quotes around "indigenous" to imply there's no settler colonial relation
