This is completely in line with other Westernized Maoist movements that simply become cults. Mao and Trotsky are at such a strong nexus of crank magnetism in the West it's unreal.

Though to be fair if you read the actual criticisms they're made by mouth breathers. Trump blubbering about price controls = Maoism according to a Tweet that gets reposted as a Axios story. At least Gonzalo terrorized his own acolytes, this is just lib journalists trying to figure out a hot take angle that resonates.

Yeah, it's always the same thing with these sort of articles. They say "Maoism" but instead of a cult in the woods or a guerrilla movement, they just mean "evil Authoritarian, just like Mao!"

porky-happy: “I will raise my prices, they haven’t gotten any better and costs really haven’t increased. I just want more money, mwa ha ha!”

mccrucified: “Idk bro, that’s low even for me.”

porky-scared-flipped: “buh..buh…buh….that’s STEALING! What is this, Soviet China?”

The cool zone is going to get even worse if Republicans are getting slapped with cries of class warfare from the porks.
