Can you be a Maoist while having critical support of modern China? (lemmygrad.ml)

As the title said. I'm only curious as I am in a pickle on whether I should be wary of dogmatism and the like when talking about modern China.

Yes, I suppose you can, but I'd question myself more why I consider myself a Maoist rather than a Leninist. I'll leave a really nice article that talks about Maoism, and why Mao used the term Mao Zedong Thought, rather than the other way around. China is a Marxist Leninist unitary democratic centralist nation without a doubt, there shouldn't be critical support, but support indeed.

I'd say all support should be critical, but it should be limited to actual criticism, not "China is imperialist because trade"

Actually sweaty, it's because China doesn't give billions in funds and munitions to my personal Maoist insurgency! We have a whole 20 people in our group, we've practically already won our PPW! China hates us because they are revisionist (and Xi Jinping never responds to my emails asking for help :'( )
