        To be honest its a Frankenstein’s Monster of a political philosophy so maoist maybe too narrow of a term, maybe itll fit with the 1989 Tiananmen square protests but not sure. Not a historian just know China isn’t cookie cutter socialist/Marxist/Leninist/Stalinist…

          Surely China would be best described as dengost at this point?

            is there a resource i can look into this with, searching the term “dengost” brings up medical, adding philosophy also serves strange results and adding china brings up dentistry in china :/

              I misspelt sorry I meant Dengist. Named after Deng Xiaoping who was a leader of the ccp after Maos death and his political ideology is a big part of china’s current political landscape. I dont have any resources though I know he wrote a couple of books that will be a good resource.

      it isnt marxist only if you are taking just the ussr as a reference point for marxism.
