This is an archive of the former website of the Maoist Internationalist Movement, which was run by the now defunct Maoist Internationalist Party - Amerika. The MIM now consists of many independent cells, many of which have their own indendendent organs both online and off. MIM(Prisons) serves these documents as a service to and reference for the anti-imperialist movement worldwide.
This page is for Marxism-Leninism-Maoism theory and philosophy and
its historical context before 1976, the death of Mao. It is important
to note that quoting dead people does not usually prove rightness or
wrongness - except when the question is keeping straight who said what,
which is important when assessing historical blame or accomplishment.
On this page, we seek to accomplish three things with regard to dead
people like Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, Mao and counterrevolutionaries
like Trotsky:
- Clarify who should be calling themselves Marxist-Leninist-Maoist
and who should not.
- Obtain historical context and reminders about the historic struggles
over the formation of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism.
- Elucidate those timeless aspects of Marxist-Leninist-Maoist methods
known as philosophy or the replacement of philosophy by dialectical
materialism.
