I don’t know too much about Maoism admittedly but was thinking about this the other day. That it’s basically impossible for a revolution to occur in the US, even if material conditions worsen to the point where it would theoretically happen. I’m not sure if I believe that or not, but it seems more likely than not atm. And that revolution needs to happen en masse in countries in the Global South while we do everything we can here to make the US ungovernable to exhaust resources that would otherwise be used in fuller effect to suppress those revolutions. Is that kind of getting at the Maoist perspective of the imperial core?
So would a key difference be that MLs believe the imperial core has revolutionary potential? Perhaps taking it further, that higher communism can’t be achieved until that revolution in the core happens?
