I've no quarms with it being decriminalised as that's the best way to reduce harm to the women involved
It is, however, still rape to hire one
i think the quote is taken out of context. i think he is more referring to a united front/revolutionary defeatism than for it to be taken 100% seriously. Mao wasn't an idiot
EDIT: found the context(in Selected Works Vol. 2) - he was indeed talking about a united front against Japan.
they're not necessarily opposing viewpoints. revolution can be inevitable whilst still requiring a human action to start it
MLMs reject various Maoist ideas like the three worlds theory. The principles they advocate for are in many ways indistinguishable from baseline Marxism-Leninism, they just take it a step further with dogmatism.
I've always thought New Democracy, Mass Line and Cultural Revolution (and even protracted war to some extent) are fantastic ideas. Self identified MLMs seem to like to ruin it by shitting on AES countries and accusing all slights as revisionist.
