Maoism, also known as Mao Zedong Thought (simplified Chinese: 毛泽东思想; traditional Chinese: 毛澤東思想; pinyin: Máozédōng sīxiǎng), is a political theory derived from the teachings of the Chinese political leader Mao Zedong (1893–1976). Its followers, known as Maoists, consider it as an anti-Revisionist form of Marxism. Developed during the 1950s and 1960s, it was widely applied as the political and military guiding ideology of the Communist Party of China (CPC). It fell into disfavour in China in 1978, when Deng Xiaoping introduced sweeping reforms.
Maoism is also used to refer to Mao's belief in the mobilization of the masses, particularly in large-scale political movements; it can also refer to the egalitarianism that was seen during Mao's era as opposed to the free-market ideology of Deng Xiaoping; some scholars additionally define personality cults and political sloganeering as "Maoist" practices. Contemporary Maoists in China criticize the social inequalities created by a capitalist and "revisionist" Communist party.
i'm looking for answers to all the questions no one knows.
pleaded and begged asked you for nothing, but something showed.
you ??, the sweat on your forehead everyone's pointing your nervousness now.
it's obvious now that you're scared of yourself.
nothing to keep them from knowing this now,
there's nothing to keep them from knowing this now.
promises, shattered pieces, memories of nothing.
cowardly you'll face this all alone.
you're finding a truth nothing but lies still no one knows.
you see your self run but i see you crawling to face the truth.
you're hesitant now your heart must be parting, ripping,
and tearing your insides are numb. fleshless and weak time to start over.
nothing to keep them from emptiness now
promises, shattered pieces, memories of nothing.
cowardly you'll face this all alone
you know how this will end,
cause the pain inside in your head is cutting yourself thin.
nothing to do now when you're buried underground.
your promise haunts you now. promises, shattered pieces,
memories of nothing.
cowardly i'll face this all alone
