What should I read if I want to be a Maoist intellectual? The only authors I've been suggested are Althusser and Badiou. Who else?

Gonzalo I’d also suggest Frantz Fanon.

>>21018 Even reactionary theory can contain valuable tools. Carl Schmitt wrote some insightful things about the bourgeois state in particular.
>>21020 I don't recommend this text. Sakai often doesn't cite and made several factual errors.

>>21009 I think most people in this thread are not being serious and are giving out recomendations not linked to Maoism at all. Here's a starter list:
>Collected Works of Mao and the works from the Great Debate and Cultural Revolution>Collected Works of the PCP >A World to Win magazine (just read enough to understand who the RIM were, you can find the publications on BannedThought.net) >Publications of the CPP, Ang Bayan magazine, and Sison's Works >Works of the CPI(M) and Ajith (he writes BANGERS). >J.

Mao was consistently against the application of "red terror" in villages where the Red Army stayed. Many of his works from the 1930s are about preventing such "excesses," e.g. unjustified attacks on rich peasants, "commandism," etc.

Any books that are unironically pro-Khmer Rouge or pro-Shining Path? I know Jan Myrdal (Swedish NazBol) has praised Pol Pot before.

Also crazy this hasn't been linked yet (MLM library canon of ebooks, has hosted virtual conferences interviewing prominent Maoists internationally, check their youtube):
