M@oi$t$ KKKant $pell

Getting back to the topic of the false revolution, it is not the only"revolutionary" movement that
performs empty rituals, rather than true progressive revolution.

I have noticed that certain members of the Maoist/Feminist/Ultra-Left movements have taken to purposely misspelling words on their websites, and in their literature.

What could possibly be the point of this?

It seems that the various groups following Mao Tse Tung thought, especially in North America, are some of the worst subscribers to this foolishness. In some cases they misspell words that contain the word "Man" in them, to make them more gender non-specific. For example, woman is changed to womyn, human is changed to humyn, and so on. In some cases, they purposely misspell the name of an individual or country that they dislike. The United States of America for example, is changed to the United $tate$ of Amerikkka, or the United $nakes of Ameriklan.

This practice is not only a pointless waste of time, it is a foolish one.

As far as making words more politically correct and gender non-specific by misspelling them, this is a sad example of what the feminist movement has degenerated into. There was a time when the feminist movement was truly revolutionary, fighting for emancipation from male dominated society. Many of the major battles in the struggle for feminism have been fought and won, hence the majority of the feminist movement has focused too much of their attention on pointless gestures, such as making words in the English language gender non-specific.
Pointless gestures hinder revolutionary causes, and consume revolutionary groups with abstract battles. True gender emancipation is not accomplished through fighting abstract battles.

As for misspelling the names of persons/places that you have disdain for, this is not only meaningless and foolish, it is juvenile. Misspelling a name in a satirical way is the sort of thing a five year old child throwing a temper tantrum would do. A communist group reveals it's own ideological bankruptcy through such stupidity as this.

I am not trying to critique Mao Tse Tung thought in general, or even the global maoist movement. Many factions of the maoist movement are waging true revolutionary struggles.
This is the sort of thing occurring right now in Nepal, The Philippines, Peru, Turkey and India,
where genuine revolutionary armed struggle is being waged. Somehow ,I have the feeling that
the followers of maoism in these countries are too busy fighting real battles, to spend time coming up with clever parodies of their enemies names.
