Next you'll being saying there's no such thing as Maoism.
Maoism certainly exists, along with contentions on how universal certain aspects of Mao's theoretical and practical advancements are, or if they are localized to the PRC. As an example, I think the Mass Line is a fantastic advancement on DemCent, but I am skeptical of the universality of Protracted People's War.
Dengism, on the other hand, does not exist. I uphold Deng Xiaoping Theory as MLs tend to, as Marxism-Leninism of the PRC under Deng. I don't uphold "Stalinism" as a thing, Stalin was a Marxist-Leninist. "Ism" is used for people who have made universal advancements on Marxism, the degree to which these advancements are accepted as universal on Marxism is irrelevant. There are no people who call themselves "Marxist-Leninist-Dengist" or "Marxist-Leninist-Maoist-Dengist."
