I would like to know what communist tendency you follow, why you follow it and who best represents your tendency of communism weather it be a modern day country like China or a country like the USSR?

The answer to this question myself is that I am a Marxist-Leninist. I follow Marxism Leninism because it gives power to the working class rather than the bourgeois and aims for a classless money less society this is achieved through following Marxist Leninist theory and analyzing the conditions in the country you are trying to achieve Marxism-Leninism in. Those who best represent Marxism Leninism for me are Lenin, Stalin, Mao, and Hoxha.

    Juche socialists believe the juche idea to be a universal advancement on Marxism-Leninism, even if they accept Marxism-Leninism as correct.

      So would it be like Maoists viewing Mao’s contributions as a universal advancement of Marxism-Leninism (they are not)? I guess it might differ if Jucheists actually think Marxism-Leninism is outdated or not. Any Jucheists here to state their opinion?

        Kind of. One key difference is that juche socialists tend to support other AES just like Marxist-Leninists, while Maoists tend not to.

          I feel like Jucheists are primarily relegated to the DPRK and some small online places. Oh, I knew that Maoists denounce AES countries, but my understanding of their stance on AES was unclear until you answered (honestly, I am somewhat surprised they support other AES countries outside of the DPRK).

            Maoists usually don’t support modern AES, though some of the Sison school do. As for Juche, it’s also because Juche doesn’t add anything to Marxism-Leninism that stands against AES.

              … the fact that those Maoists are supporting modern AES makes no sense to me (why do they do that)?

              I guess that aspect of Juche makes sense…

                  And why is that? Are they like the people who like the “authoritarian Stalin” unironically (I bet there is a non-zero chance some people actually like this nonexistent Stalin) because they think that the object of admiration is as reactionary as them?

                    Usually it’s when they actually take Lenin’s theories of imperialism seriously enough and come around on AES in a roundabout way. They may have initially believed a good deal of the propaganda but Marxism-Leninism is still correct, so they wrap back around to supporting AES.
