1 Clearly, the answer to this question does not depend on the historical judgment as to whether or not Mao was the originator of this strategy, for historical priority is not necessarily an indication of a doctrinal deviation. If it could be established that his strategy merely applied in practice what is in any case entailed in the structure of Leninism (unlimited flexibility as a maxim of strategy), he would then emerge as a better Leninist than those less adept in translating Leninist principles into practice.
