Famed Yale business guru Jeffrey Sonnenfeld said America’s top tycoons are freaked out by Trump’s ‘Maoist’ MAGA movement — despite some executives’ ‘Dear Leader’ praise in public
You’re absolutely right. Any country that makes long term plans, seeks to develop it’s industrial base, and “has socialist aspects” (which I assume mean, “the government does stuff”) is Maoist.
Emperor Meiji was a Maoist.
This is a very reasonable and coherent worldview. You’ve definitely read plenty of theory to know that one of the core tenets of Maoism is “making plans.”
So you’re going to be rude instead of making a point?
I am making the point. The point is that you can’t just take a handful of things Mao did, that tons of other people have also done, and say that anyone who does those things is a “Maoist.” Whether it’s “making a plan to promote industrialization with government involvement” or “writing words.”
Virtually every country that went through a period of industrialization would be “Maoist” by this standard.
I didn’t define anything dipshit
Yeah and that’s part of the problem. Because you have no understanding of what the label you’re using actually means.
I asked how they were different not the same
The onus is on you to demonstrate how they’re similar. It’s like if someone said, “In what way is a raven different from a writing desk?” They’re so different that it’s virtually impossible to convince of any line of thought that would see them as similar.
So when you said, “I’m not trying to be mean but how in practice is this substantially different than Maoism?” you weren’t implying that Trump is a Maoist?

I didn’t define it boss, read the comment then get rude of that’s your prerogative but at the very least keep up with the conversation.
You wrote down words, which is something Mao did too. Are you doing Maoism?
So you’re going to be rude instead of making a point?
I didn’t define anything dipshit the other person did and I responded.
I asked how they were different not the same, you should read the comment chain rather then be rude for no fucking reason.

Yeah that’s why I didn’t do that, keep up.
Ok so we’re agreed then that Trump isn’t a Maoist.
That was never something I said or implied you boisterous dolt, read the comment chain then get rude if that’s your prerogative.
