Mao-Spontex is an economically far-left, libertarian, Marxist, and revolutionary socialist ideology that believes that a revolution should occur from below through mass action by the working class as opposed to with the aid of a vanguard party, professional revolutionaries or political parties.

While Mao-Spontex borrows ideas and influences from File:Mao.png Maoism, he rejects the ideology of Marxism–Leninism, especially File:Orthlen.png Lenin's critique of spontaneous revolutionary action. He supports democratic centralism as a means to organize a worker's party but maintains this party must remain revolutionary by having a constant internal conflict and must always come from a mass worker's movement as opposed to a small group of revolutionary intellectuals.

History

[edit]

Mao-Spontex was born in France as a trend of File:Libmarx.png Libertarian Marxism after May 68 and its popularity lasted until 1972 inspired by the Cultural Revolution in China. They largely agreed with File:Orthlen.png Leninism, but rejected Lenin's vanguardism (without rejecting democratic centralism).

During its time of popularity, it became popular on the left in Western Europe, in countries such as Italy, Belgium, Switzerland and Germany. During the New Left protests, its followers described themselves as anti-authoritarian while defending spontaneity and rejecting Marxism-Leninism.

By the early 1970s, the vast majority of Mao-Spontex organizations self-dissolved, leading many young followers to depression and even suicide. There were throughout the decade failed attempts to revive the movement and the last major mention of the ideology was in 2008 by the French police in the midst of the Tamac Affair.
