Are there any good, unbiased sources about the thought of Mao?

Cultural Revolution was fucking grand. A shame it didn't go far enough.

NPA and Naxalites get fucked though

and MLism is way more relevant? look at Cuba and China

Cuba is revisionist as hell.

Both of you are edgy retards. I'm an ML and like most things Mao did, but the cultural revolution was anti-marxist and undialectial as fuck. First the concept of cultural revolution is ignores the whole superstructure and base thing, second it wasn't even about that but it about mao purging his enemies (he obviously failed miserably) through his personal army (because the red guard was basically that), fourth and worst fucking offense is that the red army wasn't made of workers but fucking students. Now tell me how a bunch of students high on ideology blocking an entire country infrastructure is a good idea. The Soviet Union dealt with past reactionary culture without all this bullshit and without destroying everything, problem is that it wasn't even mao real objective.

Mao's enemies were all liberals. The goal of the cultural revolution was to purge the party of its bourg and anti-communist elements (both were holdovers from the revolution.)

Yeah, it failed and just caused damage to the workers. My main opposition is that he was dishonest about it and that he used students

Who cares about students (let alone honesty) when the future of communism is at stake? Stop being an idealist. All things are allowed when working to eliminate the bourgeoisie.

This is exactly what you call a revolution: movement from the masses to destroy reactionary elements in society. "Bunch of students high on ideology" was the most progressive (and sufficiently numerous) force in China, it is only natural they would be the vanguard of change. How is a movement acting autonomously according to their understanding of Marxism and revolutionary fervor is Mao's personal army? Even if in some places they committed mistakes because of the poor understanding of theory and sometimes over-zealotry on a large scale it was in the right direction. It is because of their autonomy and lack of control they had to be removed.
Perhaps if Mao focused on creating a smaller, but a more conscious movement it would have succeeded in purging the country of reactionary elements and restoration of capitalism wouldn't occur now.

Go away leftcom

Who cares about loyalty to "dialectics"?
