The reactionary positions of Sakaism and Gonzaloism

What is Maoism?

Some say that Maoism is the application of Marxism-Leninism to the conditions that are peculiar to the situation in China during the life of Mao Zedong. This definition is based on a dangerous misnomer, Maoism is NOT Mao Zedong Thought. Mao, indeed, applied Marxism-Leninism to Chinese conditions, and applied it in a way that was far superior to that of Vladimir Lenin. But if Maoism were only the application of Marxism-Leninism to the conditions that are peculiar to China it would be the same as Mao Zedong Thought, a purely Chinese and only a Chinese, phenomenon. We know, however, that Maoism is not merely a Chinese, but an international phenomenon rooted in the whole of international development. That is how we know this definition suffers from disinformation.
Maoism is based upon Lin Biao and the original Black Panther Party.

Marxism–Leninism–Maoism

is not

Mao Zedong Thought.

It is important to not get confused,

Mao Zedong Thought

is sometimes referred to as

Marxism–Leninism–Mao Zedong Thought.

The full term for

Maoism

is

Marxism–Leninism–Maoism.

 

The synthesis of Marxism–Leninism–Maoism did not occur during the life of Mao Zedong.

From the 1960s, groups that called themselves Maoist or which upheld Maoism were not unified around a common understanding of Maoism and had instead their own particular interpretations of the political, philosophical, economical and military works of Mao.

 

As a unified, coherent higher stage of Marxism, Marxism–Leninism–Maoism was not synthesized until the 1980s through the experience of the people's war waged by the Shining Path. This led the Shining Path to posit Marxism–Leninism–Maoism as the newest development of Marxism. Abimael Guzmán was the vindication for the theory and practice of the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement.

The Communist Party of Peru more commonly known as the Shining Path, is a revolutionary communist party and political organization in Peru espousing Marxism–Leninism–Maoism.

The Communist Party of Peru was the first Vanguard Party to espouse Marxism–Leninism–Maoism.

The reason that the Communist Party of Peru is more commonly called the Shining Path has a lot to do with the origins of the Communist Party of Peru. This is something that we will explain in another post. This post is about challenging two very dangerous reactionary tenancies that get confused for Maoism. Sakaism and Gonzaloism are the two major political heresies that can not be tolerated by Marxist-Leninist-Maoists. The two great political heresies that plague Marxism-Leninism-Maoism are Gonzaloism and Sakaism. Gonzaloism is the idea that Abimael Guzmán must be lionized, copied and held up as a Saint, even though he became rather reactionary before his arrest. Marxism-Leninism-Maoism does not ignore genuine War Crimes, the United Nations got their concept of Human Rights from us the Communists. We Communists did not get our concepts of Human Rights from the U.N Declaration of Human Rights.

Yet the Revolutionary must be careful to always remember that upholding Nonviolence as a Philosophy is a threat to Human Rights. Nonviolence is a tactic and a tactic alone. Pacifism is the road to Genocide. Gun Control is a Right Wing plot by Imperialists in hopes of pacifying a population, making them fearful of the State. If the State is not run by the Masses it must be destroyed, this destruction of the State is never Nonviolent. Gonzaloism is the dismissal of correct ideas in favor of personality cults. Sakaism is victimization turned into ideology. No one should even read “Settlers: The Mythology of the White Proletariat from Mayflower to Modern” without reading the writings of Frantz Fanon. Although there are errors in such a work “The Redneck Manifesto: How Hillbillies, Hicks, and White Trash Became America's Scapegoats” should be read alongside “Settlers: The Mythology of the White Proletariat from Mayflower to Modern” and then a much clearer picture of history emerges.

To give you a idea of the racialist-like off color humor, we will provide a piece from Chapter 10: SEVERAL COMPELLING ARGUMENTS FOR THE ENSLAVEMENT OF ALL WHITE LIBERALS
Ideologically, the Guilty White Male is down with the program; materially, he's still a filthy-rich imperialist Yankee hyena. His "shame of being white" is more a sort of cutesy atavistic role-playing than anything tangible. He'll write soppy-wet articles about the homeless, but he won't offer his spare bedroom. He's tortured with guilt about his relative leisure and affluence compared to most indigenous peoples worldwide, yet he's not quick to pawn his cozy condo and Pentium chip in order to air-drop corn meal to the starving Pakistani peasantry. He's outraged about the oppression of blacks, but he isn't moving into the black slums, at least not this year. He feels terrible that the land was stolen from the Indians, but it doesn't appear as if he's giving it back anytime soon.

Why doesn't Mr. Multicultural give all his cool toys back to the Injuns? Because that would release him from guilt, and he likes to live in guilt. His guilt serves a definite psychological purpose for him, and he wouldn't ever want to get rid of it. The Guilty White Male takes pride in his own shame. But guilt only serves the guilty. Ever wonder why comfy urban white liberals feel such guilt about history and rural rednecks don't? The white liberal's guilt pangs have little to do with noble contrition; his guilt reflects an uncomfortable sense of his place in the historical order. If he feels so guilty...well, maybe he should. Maybe his guilt is real. Maybe that's why rednecks and blacks feel no guilt, while white liberals are stricken with it.

AND this is some of the softer language used, but it smacks of a lot of truth with some mistakes. The fully read and educated MLM knows to read both “Settlers: The Mythology of the White Proletariat from Mayflower to Modern” and “The Redneck Manifesto: How Hillbillies, Hicks, and White Trash Became America's Scapegoats” to draw up a sort of Synthesis on the oppression of minorities brought about by the lie of whiteness, but the Sakaist will never do this. This political heresy known to us as Sakaism was unfamiliar to us Maoists until rather recently. For some time now we Maoists have used both Settlers and the Redneck Manifesto to draw up a greater dialectic for the insanities of the First World particularly in the United States. We have had to combat the political heresy known to us as Gonzaloism for a while now, the political heresy known to us as Sakaism is new and it is causing serious counter-revolutionary problems. Even though “The Redneck Manifesto: How Hillbillies, Hicks, and White Trash Became America's Scapegoats”comes with a lot of racialist-like language it is actually a very anti-racist book, it confronts the true ills of Capitalism, this is not a book which should be read on its own it should be read along side “Settlers: The Mythology of the White Proletariat from Mayflower to Modern” with use of these two books side to side we draw up very uncomfortable yet necessary conclusions about the racist problem which serves to divide the Proletariat. The Revolutionary Anti-Imperialist Movement (RAIM) was directly responsible for the political heresy of Sakaism. RAIM was a reactionary group of cosplayers claiming Maoism-Third Worldism that functioned more like a Cult than a Communist Organization, this organization was obsessed with Jason Unruhe and sought out to wreck him at every turn before the fraud known as Anarchopac began to fully draw up a offensive against Jason. These insane little cosplayers decided that their number one obstacle was not even the Leading Light Communist Organization (LLCO) but Jason Unruhe himself. Genuine Communists upholding Marxism-Leninism-Maoism know fully that the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist-Third Worldists are simply disillusioned Marxist-Leninist-Maoists attempting revolutionary defeatism whether they see themselves that way or not. Maoists can not be opposed to the "third worldists" because they are really just Maoists who have mistakenly come to believe that Maoism is outdated and a new analysis is necessary. RAIM was never "third worldist" or Maoist in anyway. But the odd thing about Sakaism is that it was the actual ideology of RAIM. As far as Third Worldism goes, it is not a new phase in Marxism, Third Worldism is the study of the Global Class divide, nothing more or less than that. There is no such thing as a "third worldist" Jason Unruhe and all the members of the LLCO are not "third worldists" they are Maoists who are fed up with the fake Maoists. So then, this brings us back to the political heresy of Gonzaloism.

Communists have turned off too many indigenous peoples to Marxism. One of the main purposes to the advancement of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism is to correct this. We have yet to correct this, Abimael Guzmán's fall to reaction has definitely not helped. But the fault truly lies on the entire Revolutionary Internationalist Movement for not anticipating the importance of Counter Intelligence. Gonzaloism is the idea that Abimael Guzmán must be lionized, copied and held up as a Saint, even though he became rather reactionary before his arrest. Within the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement there was a good number of rightist-opportunists that worked very hard to remove the importance of Lin Biao, this is the root of Gonzaloism. Abimael Guzmán was important because he was the one who vindicated the position of RIM but there is not much more than this in all honesty.  

All genuine Maoists need to combat both the Gonzaloists and the populist fake Maoists. Many of the populist fake Maoists accuse true Maoists of Gonzaloism but this is slanderous wrecking because even though Abimael Guzmán has become rather reactionary he is still very important for study, no one can claim to understand Marxism-Leninism-Maoism without acknowledging Abimael Guzmán.
