Maoism is very similar to Stalinism and Communism, but slightly different. it has Communist ideologies in it, advocating for the collaboration between all Socialist states against what Mao disliked: Inequality, Imperialism and Capitalism. Unlike Stalinism which focuses on the workers, Maoism focuses on the peasants and farmers, becuase Russia is more of an industrialized country, while China throughout history was cracked into pieces by Western Powers including the Japanese, and the people only have agriculture as a choice of mantaining their lives. Wealthy landlords and warlords have been exploiting the poor farmers in China, Maoism was against the exploitation of the farmers by landlords and warlords.

The reason why Maoism is more popular than Stalinism (i think) it's because Mao freed many of the peasants and farmers from extreme poverty in China after the CCP took over, after freeing China from Chiang (who killed his own people in a flood) he knew that after freeing China from poverty like this, he has to free other countries from suffering, since he had experience what was like during those times. For example: North Korea, Laos and Vietnam, they also adopted Maoist ideas. North Korea adopted more Stalinism than Maoism though

Maoism also introduces a form of Democracy, called New Democracy. It's very similar to the Leninist principle of People's Democracy in Russia. New Democracy refuses the Western Liberal "Democracies", but calls itself a special model of democracy applied in China. The system allows the people of China to have direct control over the government. The CCP has always reigned over China since 1949 is because that around 800 million out of 1.4 billion people in China are members of the CCP, not to mention that many Chinese liked him for empowering the poor. Mao also supported a "Proletarian Dictatorship" aka a "People's Dictatorship", that's the system in China right now. Proletarian Dictatorship is to defend the state against Imperialist interests, that's why strengthening the military and police of the state is prioritized to defend the people's interests from the Imperialists, according to Chairman Mao.

The real reason why I loved Mao as a leader because he was a person that devoted himself to the people. In his late years, revisionists like Deng Xiaoping and Liu Shaoqi and many other CCP members were advocating for a borgeoise rule and became bourgie dictators, like what happened to people like Khrushchev and Gorbachev in the USSR. But Mao refused to be one of them. He could become a rich borgeoise dictator, but he didn't. He has the examples of a real Socialist. The students in Tiananmen Square were singing songs of Mao's era like Without the Communist Party, there would be no new China and The Internationale they were also protesting against Dengm who was contradicting Mao's policies
