Maoist Internationalist Movement

The Maoist Internationalist Movement (MIM) was a clandestine revolutionary communist organization based primarily in the United States.

MIM was founded as the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement (RIM) in 1983 from a group called RADACADS (for "RADical ACADemics") at Harvard University.

[1][2] It is not to be confused with the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement that was founded the following year in France by Maoist parties around the world, the most notable of which are Shining Path and Bob Avakian's RCPUSA.

In August a new blog was announced,[7] called MIM Defense,[8] with the stated purpose to "defend the leaders of ex-MIM, the Maoist Internationalist Movement, people who continue on the course of the anti-war and anti-imperialist struggles.

[18] In early 2016 an organization referring to itself as MIM-Orchid appeared on GitHub, publishing Proletarian Internationalist Notes (PINotes), which offers news, reviews and analysis from a Maoist global perspective.

[21] LLCO does not consider itself to be a Maoist organization, claiming to uphold a post-Maoist ideology called Leading Light Communism, explicitly distinguishing themselves from MIM Theory.
