my encounters with those people have admitadly been few, as well as superficial, so i might not be the best judge.

it’s just, that in my experience, they at times tend to be more about the vibe of maoism, than the actual substance. i was bringing up stuff from on practice during organisational stuff for some work my org did together with some local maoists and some of them gave the impression of not being familiar with the text, which left me somewhat shocked, lmao

i don’t live in that place anymore, so maybe they’ve since gotten better, idk
