Social:Mao-spontex

From HandWiki

The term Mao-spontex refers to a political movement in the Marxist and libertarian movements in Western Europe from 1960 to 1970. The neologism is composed of "Maoist" and "spontaneist".[1] The complete and accurate writing of this term would be Mao-spontaneity.

Mao-spontex came to represent an ideology promoting the ideas of Maoism, along with some ideas from Marxism, and Leninism, but rejecting the total idea of Marxism-Leninism.[2] Lenin's work What Is To Be Done? especially is criticized as dated and Lenin's critique of spontaneity is rejected.[3] Lenin's idea of democratic centralism is supported as a way to organize a party, but a party must also have constant conflict inside of it to remain revolutionary. The revolutionary party discussed must also always be from a mass worker's movement.[4]

Mao-spontex comes under the general current of Western Maoism[5][6][7] that existed after the emergence of the New Left.
