Hell yeah!

Wouldn't you say Maoism actually opposes some of the essential fundamentals communism builds upon? For instance; How is an autocratic state a society where there are no classes?

I am also opposed to the idea of glamorizing and idolizing individuals, at least to some extent. Most un-natural catastrophes has been caused by people who has been granted too much power, often via the power of verbalization. I look at my idols as brothers in humanity, not as geniuses.

Anyways, personally I would define myself as a socialist. I support Socialist democracy, however imo; most politicians are worthless dolls, which are incapable of changing the appearance of road signs. Most people who enter politics in order to change the system fail at this, and eventually the system ends up changing you, not the opposite. There are obviously a few politicians who has managed to provoke change, however the vast majority of politicians end up debating useless topics without progress.

I do believe that capitalism can be blamed for much of the progress in the western world, however at the cost of the progress of the rest of the world. Capitalism and extreme individualism provokes egocentric mindsets and the constant need for competition against rivaling capita owners bulges what corporate giants look upon as morally correct. For instance; Very few people on these forums would value human lives over some virtual numbers in their bank account, however big corporations prefer to leave the world uneducated about the fact that their products are being produced through slavery, and that they simply do not care about the fact that human lives are lost to their addiction of irrelevant materialistic values.
