Best Answer

Maoism differed from Leninism with his lack of interest in the urban proletariat and in his conception of the vanguard party. Lenin believed this party would be the avatar of the proletarian consciousness but, for Mao, the party would both teach and learn directly from the masses in leading the revolution.

Did Mao Zedong have a movement?

Mao Zedong's movement, "Mao Zedong Thought", was the guiding principle of the Chinese Communist Party during the Chinese Civil War and until his death in 1976. The principles of Maoism are organized around Agrarian communism and the establishment of the People's Democratic Dictatorship. Maoism, distinct from Stalinism or Marxist-Leninism, is not a form of industrial communism but a postcolonial liberation movement focused on ending imperial domination over countries in the "developing" world. Maoist parties and guerrilla movements can still be found world-wide, in such places as Nepal, India, Thailand and Columbia. Che Guevara famously split with Fidel Castro over the former's support of Maoism over Marxist-Leninism. China today lists Mao Zedong Thought as part of it's leading ideology, but Mao's role in modern China is as little more than a ceremonial icon and nationalist figure. His thought has been displaced by Deng Xiaoping Theory, The Three Represents, and Scientific Development Theory.
