Oooo can you think of any articles or documents about the Maoist psyop stuff? That's very interesting.

To push back a bit for funsies, I wonder how many explicitly Marxist-Leninist parties have succeeded in revolution since the 70s? I think thats when "Maoism" in name first started to take shape, right? Pretty sure Vietnam and Laos were post-1970, and the Zapatistas but I think their ideological line is explicitly indigenous even if inspired partly by communism/anarchism. Do Venezuela and Bolivia count? I guess my point is, while they havent been successful in deposing their current governments, the ideology is much newer than ML, and some of the currently existing parties are newer still, having been established in the early and mid 2000's, some are perhaps even newer. Like I think the Nepalese Maoist party was formed in 2012. Just think those things are important to consider as well as maybe how much aid and influence the US might provide some of those countries
