However in the case of Marxism, Leninism, Christianity, etc. the founders of that school of thought were that thinker's direct followers. They were part of the institutions and organizations that those thinkers belonged to, part of the same philosophical tradition. You can see the direct through-line of those who worked with Lenin to Leninists, Marxism-Leninism was created by those who knew him and were part of his project.
Whereas with Maoism it's not the direct followers of Mao or his institutions that gave rise to the Maoist tradition. Instead, his name and image was coopted by an unrelated party on the other side of the planet, one with basically no affiliation or right to claim it
Paul, the person who arguably made Christianity a gentile movement, never knew Jesus.
But I see your point
Well it's debatable if Jesus actually ever existed as a single real historical person. Christianity should more accurately be called Paulism.
