Maoists say China is not socialist?
The origin of "Maoism" as it's used today goes back to China after Mao's death, where there was a power struggle between those who stuck closer to Mao's teachings (Peasant Democracy and political education/activism) and the more Technocratic, economically liberal elements.
In reality, the result was that moderates took power and did their best to appease both sides; but to the Maoists, they believe that after Mao's death China fell to Liberal revisionism and the Gang of Four, the leaders of the Maoist movement, were exiled.
Maoism was popularized outside of China by Peru's Shining Path, led by Chairman Gonzalo.
Ah, I wasn't aware of that. I thought Maoism was just subscribing to communism with Chinese characteristics.
No that's just Marxism-Leninism
