→True or False?
I don't think one can say that Maoism, Fascism, capitalism, or fundamentalist Christianity - just to name a few ideologies - are "true" or "false." One might argue the relative merits or inherent value of these ideologies, but it would make little sense to say that Maoism is "false" or that capitalism is "true."

The idea that capitalism is an ideology rather than immutable laws is one of the biggest myths and [[Cold War]] hangovers among [[Marxist]]s & non-Marxists alike. Capitalism is not necessarily synonymous with [[freedom]] & [[democracy]]. [[Lenin]], [[Stalin]] & [[Mao]] all operated capitalist systems, albeit incompetently (based on a [[deceptive]] ideology). Non-democratic [[oligarch]]s & [[globalist]]s are, first and foremost, capitalists. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|''Zelensky Must Go!'']]</sup> 00:13, March 16, 2025 (EDT)
