2. MAOISM :
Maoism originated in China a form of communist
theory derived from the teachings of Chinese
political leader Mao Zedong. Mao believed that
peasants not factory workers should lead the
communist revolution

3. LENINISM :
Principles expounded by Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, who was
the preeminent figure in the Russian Revolution of 1917.
Whether Leninist concepts represented a contribution to or
a corruption of Marxist thought has been debated, but their
influence on the subsequent development of communism
in the Soviet Union and elsewhere has been of
fundamental importance.

4. Marxism :
A body of doctrine developed by Karl Marx and to a
lesser extent, by Friedrich Engels in the mid-19th century.
It originally consisted of three related ideas a philosophical
anthropology, a theory of history, and an economic and
political program. There is also Marxism as it has been
understood and practiced by the
various socialist movements, particularly before 1914.

5. Difference between Maoism and Marxism-Leninsm

6. Marxism-Leninism :
This ideology calls for complete centralization of the
means of production in the hands of a “vanguard party”,
which acts in the name of the working class. Think of it
as an indirect form of worker’s control: rather than the
workers themselves owning the workplace, a state which
claims to represent them owns the workplace.

7. Difference between Maoism and Marxism-Leninsm
MAOISM :
Founded by Mao Zedong, Maoism is Marxism-Leninism adapted to the
conditions of China. In other words, rather than the basis for revolution
being the industrial proletariat, it is the peasantry, or the agricultural
proletariat. Because of this ideology’s focus on primitive peasant
societies, it has a gained enormous popularity in the developing world,
and is advocated by numerous revolutionary groups in Asia and the
Middle East. One example of such a group would be the Communist
Party of India (Maoist), or the Naxalists. This is the main form of statist
communism today.

8. CONCLUSION :
Marxism-Leninism is the struggle of industrial
proletariat. While Maoism tells us about the
peasants should lead the communist revolution
not factory workers.Marxism-Leninism and
Maoism both utilizes the theories of Marxism
however fit such in the reality of their society.
