Maoism, also known as Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, is a controversial current in the Marxist-Leninist world, being first synthesized as separate from Mao Zedong Thought (MZT) by Abimael Guzmán of the Peruvian Communist Party (PCP).[1] The ideology has also been adopted by other groups such as the New People's Army (NPA) of the Philippines and the Communist Party of India (Maoist). Maoism considers itself to be a step forward from Marxism–Leninism, differing from MZT.[2][3] Maoism tends to believe in the ideas of the Cultural Revolution, Protracted People's War (PPW), New Democracy, and Mass Line - all of which take inspiration from MZT.[4] PPW is usually in the form of guerrilla warfare.[5]
