'''Maoism''' is the [[Communist]] ideology of [[Mao Zedong]]. Maoism is a form of [[Stalinism]]. Specific to Maoism are Mao's writings on [[guerrilla]] warfare, the [[Great Leap Forward]] and [[Cultural Revolution]], and Mao's ''Red Book''. Maoism became a trendy ideology among [[leftist]] [[extremism|extremists]] starting in the 1960s, who saw the poor of the [[Third World]], rather than the white [[proletariat]] of the industrialized West, as having the most "revolutionary" potential. Maoism with its origins in [[China]] rather than Europe was thus deemed by these radicals to be more credible an ideology than the Soviet-line Old Left, this despite Maoism being repackaged Stalinism.
