I’ve heard the truism that MZT integrated a lot of ideas from anarchist praxis. I’ve even heard it referred to as synthesis. Not familiar enough with Mao’s entire works to say whether this is true but I’ve heard it here more than once.
At the very beginning of his radicalization, anarchism was an interest, but he quickly moved on to Marxism and Leninism and never references anarchists in his work afaik. To make a synthesis of anarchist theory he would be referencing it all the time
He references Chinese philosophical ideas and texts much more than anarchist ideas and concepts to give you an idea of how little anarchism factors into his work. And like every single Chinese philosopher in existence, his works make more sense after reading Confucian text.
