Took part in an RGS and the head people all push that Maoism is scientifically the best form of Communism. Can anyone explain this view? Also, the group seems to want everyone to hold this view. Isn't splitting into sub-ideologies hurting the potential for a larger movement?

Mao considered the Soviet Union to have become revisionist after Stalin's death, and MLM's agree with that assertion.

I've yet to find an ML who doesn't consider Khrushchev an opportunist; roughly speaking, Maoists believe that Mao's ideas (designed to fit China's conditions at the time, e.g. people's war) are universally applicable, ignoring the material conditions

If they are dogmatic about it enough to kick out other Marxists id say so yeah; unity between MLs/Marxists/Maoists should be a priority, not trots though.

The only place where left unity is possible is relief ops and anti corporate activism
