The idea that any of these theories have become “brutal and distorted” is incredibly dishonest. Please tell us about this trend of this occurring and not the trend of Marxism correctly analyzing material conditions in a scientific manner. Please tell us about how millions weren’t lifted out of poverty by China, Vietnam, Cuba, the USSR, Laos, DPR Korea, and many other states influenced by MLism. Your comment stinks of ignorance. Mao’s Combat Liberalism explains how your thinking is reactionary and ridiculous. When you have not investigated history, you have no right to comment on history.
