    If you’re adding Gadaffi because hes a socialist, just fuck it. Add anyone who is even vaguely related to the term. Add saddam hussein with his romance novels, it’s got as much to do with socialism. I mean read the green book, it’s barely legible as a text. It’s the nonsensical ramblings of a man who is trying to justify anti socialism and regressive cultural norms through socialist esque sounding buzzwords.

    would you move Lenin because Marxism-leninism is a post-Lenin invention too

    Yes, duh? Neither the term ML or the framework that defines ML existed during his life time. He is the ur text for the movement, but he is not part of it. And of course. Plenty of socialists have as much claim to being inspired by or deriving their praxis from Lenin but are not MLs
