Mao is a joke to me. The above quote (which is his) goes on to say, “In present circumstances, revisionism is more pernicious than dogmatism.”
So…
Mao: Marxism is universally true.
Also Mao: Dogmatic Marxism is bad.
Also Mao: Anything post-Marxism is revisionism, which is also bad.
If you can get through it, read On Contradiction to see just how many back-flips he does to make Marx’s “dialectical materialism” into something that is neither dialectical nor material but a metaphysical fact of our world and all human progress (as if that’s not revisionism).
