Maoism

Maoism, otherwise known as Mao Zedong Thought, is a form of Communism present in the Communist Party of China as a fringe movement to the Communism of the 28 Bolsheviks. It was built and is spearheaded by Mao Zedong. The ideology encompasses the call for a socialist revolution in a pre-industrial and agricultural society, and puts first the peasantry as the revolutionary vanguard instead of the proletariat as presented in Marx's industrial vision.
