Maoism is still a thing?
Yes. The Indian Maoists ( also called "Naxalites" from the village - Naxalbari - where the revolt started ) identify with the armed revolution of the Chinese Maoists.
Communist ideology and communism is a dead idea...!! it should be weeded out!!
How can communism be dead when it has not arrived yet??
Communism is the terminal state of socialist thought among humanity where governments have fallen, militaries have been disbanded and people rule themselves.
The last underlined part was present in the former Libyan Jamahiriya ( through direct-democracy ) until NATO brought "democracy" to it.
May I add that if "communism" should ominous, all "communist" and "socialist" societies until now have been living experiments, with some happy with their current state and some desiring the terminal state called "communism".
The opposite of Communism is Nationalism. Now I don't know if Rabindranath Tagore ever admired communism but he certainly criticized nationalism, especially for India.
