Maoist Internationalist Movement Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
The Maoist Internationalist Movement (MIM) is a Maoist organization based primarily in the United States. It was formed in 1970 as RADACADS, a split from Students for a Democratic Society and changed its name in 1983 to the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement. In these early years MIM was unique in its rejection of the rampant homophobia found in most parties calling themselves communist. It changed its name to the Maoist International Movement in 1984 after the Revolutionary Communist Party's international also named itself the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement.MIM differentiates itself from other parties in the First World with their line on the labor aristocracy. The labor aristocracy is the class of workers in imperialist countries that make more than the value of their labor by sharing in the superprofits stolen from the Third World. MIM sees the principal contradiction to be that between imperialism and the oppressed nations and upholds the right to self-determination for all nations.
MIM's newpaper, MIM Notes, is anonymously written and distributed around the United States, especially on university campuses. The writers are use the moniker MCX (MIM Comrade X), where X is a numerical variable for the respective member. It is probably best known for its neologisms and strange spelling conventions, such as womyn, persyn, ("-man" and "-son" are considered male chauvinistic according to MIM) i$rael, kanada, and united $nakes of ameriKKKa. (To emphasize that Israel, the USA, and Canada are illegitimate colonial countries in MIM's view, MIM spells them in lower case.)
