==Maoism==

Maoism mixes orthodox Stalinism with [[Populism]]. Named after its originator [[Mao Zedong]], the ideology relies on militant, insurrectionary and populist strategies in [[community organizing|movement organizing]] (People’s Wars, [[Cultural Revolution]], Peasant Uprising, etc). Once in power, however, Maoists tend to install a traditionally corrupt Stalinist regime — bureaucratic, totalitarian, militaristic, and dictatorial. Like Stalin, Mao’s China relied on Five-Year Plans, the best-known of which was the [[Great Leap Forward]]," later renamed the "Three Years of Disasters." Maoists also believe that the world socialist revolution will begin in the "[[Third World]]."<ref>[http://reds.linefeed.org/vocab.html#MA ''The Red Encyclopedia: A Communism and Communists Reference Guide,''].

The Maoist strategy for world revolution is based on the global version of the strategy employed by the [[Chinese Communist Party]] (CCP) which led to Mao's victory in 1949. The analogy went like this: through "peoples war" the CCP forces who controlled the countryside of China encircled the cities of China, isolated the foe, and destroyed it piecemeal. The logic followed that the countryside of the world as a reaction to the super-exploitation suffered at the hands of the city of the world would become united and defeat the latter, and in the process establish a world socialist order.
