Revolution in the Air was well received within socialist and Marxist circles, with Jacobin writer Ethan Young writing in 2018, praising the work as essential reading for understanding the New Communist movement. [1] In contrast, Lorner Goldner of the anarcho-communist news website Libcom was far more critical, writing, "without exactly setting out to do so, Max Elbaum in his book Revolution In The Air, has managed to demonstrate the existence of progress in human history, namely in the decline and disappearance of the grotesque Stalinist- Maoist- 'Third World Marxist' and Marxist-Leninist groups and ideologies he presents, under the rubric New Communist Movement, as the creations of pretty much the 'best and the brightest' coming out of the American 1960's." [2] NCM veteran and former Theoretical Review contributor Paul Saba, gave the book a mixed review in Viewpoint Magazine. [3]
Maoism, officially called Mao Zedong Thought by the Chinese Communist Party, is a left-wing political ideology and variety of Marxism–Leninism that Mao Zedong developed to realise a socialist revolution in the agricultural, pre-industrial society of the Republic of China and later the People's Republic of China. The philosophical difference between Maoism and traditional Marxism–Leninism is that the peasantry is the revolutionary vanguard in pre-industrial societies rather than the proletariat. This updating and adaptation of Marxism–Leninism to Chinese conditions in which revolutionary praxis is primary and ideological orthodoxy is secondary represents urban Marxism–Leninism adapted to pre-industrial China. The claim that Mao Zedong had adapted Marxism–Leninism to Chinese conditions evolved into the idea that he had updated it fundamentally, applying it to the world.
