Exactly. ML had real limitations which lead to the development of Trotskyism (I'm interpreting this widely to include Hal Draper and his "Socialism from below" as well as Movementism in general) and Maoism (also interpreting this widely) as critiques of the Soviet Union. The past 50 years have shown that Maoism is by far the superior line of revolutionary theory. It's also not a coincidence that Mao influenced Galula, the French theorist of counter-insurgency warfare. The value of Mao as a theorist of revolutionary warfare in the paradigm of insurgency and counterinsurgency cannot be understated.
