Whenever I hear of Marxist theory applied to the conditions of modern America it's always in relation to ML or Trotskyism, but I never hear Maoism brought up. Does Maoism have any application to current day America?

Oh hey you brought that up as I was making my edit. That's what I mean by being 50 years ahead though. There's no reason to care about revisionism right now but in a revolutionary situation, I hope the DSA isn't in charge too.
I would argue that a guerilla war is kind of necessary even if it isn't desirable. it's not like we're going to be able to stage a coup d'etat. The main problem is starting it at the right time which a lot of Maoist zealots don't understand (again they're 50 years in the future when the US is 17 different countries, half of which are constantly on fire.)
I agree with your last point about being at the level of the workers though.
