one thing i was reading recently said that "maoism" as the "third stage of revolutionary science" or whatever was invented by the shining path in peru in the early 1980s. like before that people considered themselves marxist-leninist, and influenced by "mao zedong thought". the idea that it was a new stage was a small minority position in china, proposed by chen boda but not taken seriously by most people. like most marxist-leninists don't consider stalin to have invented a new stage of marxism, and it could have been the same for mao, but basically a bunch of things conspired to make various groups call themselves maoist.

if maoism is a "thing" then the claim is that it forces people to act in a certain way, like if people's war is universal then everyone has to start an army and try to fight the government.

Driven intellectuals become hopelessly independent, which results in alienation. Unless you are committed to being eremitic your entire life, the only solution is to select the best options from the available social groups and slowly foster loyalty and comaraderie within. You can either work with those in your immediate area or, if plausible, relocate to an area you find more favorable. You should select groups that are populous, likely to produce lifelong benefit to you, and uphold moral values which are relatively close to your own. Accept and defend their dogma, regardless of how absurd it seems to you on its face. In time, with enough exposure and a little faith, you may even find yourself believing it. Do not mourn long over losing your old intellectual friends, for those bonds were always rooted in shared loneliness and plagued by mutual contempt. Relationships based on ironclad devotion to a common creed are much stronger and more fulfilling.
word son.
