Marxism–Leninism was the official state ideology of the Soviet Union (USSR), the political parties of the Communist International, and of contemporary Stalinist political parties. Combining Leninist political praxis [process] and Marxist socio-economics, the purpose of Marxism–Leninism is the two-stage revolutionary development of a capitalist state into a socialist state, ... In the late 1930s, Stalin's official textbook The History of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (Bolsheviks) (1938), made the term Marxism–Leninism common, political-science usage among communists and non-communists. ... in 1976, the Shining Path (Sendero Luminoso) Communist Party of Peru coined the term Marxism–Leninism–Maoism to identify the contemporary Marxism that is readily adaptable to local conditions in the countries of Third-world South America. ---
Maoists state that there are two kinds of countries: imperialist-capitalist ones on one side and oppressed semi-colonial semi-feudal countries on the other side. In the oppressed countries there is a bureaucratic capitalist bourgeoisie, submitted to imperialism. ... In 2016, the Revolutionary Communist Party USA developed a strategy for the future seizure of power in the imperialist countries, a basic blueprint of which is made available on its official website.
The Revolutionary Communist Party was previously a Marxist–Leninist–Maoist political party in the United States. The RCP participated in the founding conference of the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement [RIM] on 12 March 1984. The RCP signed the "Declaration of the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement" and supported the RIM's declaration "Long Live Marxism–Leninism–Maoism!" on 26 December 1993 which recognized "Marxism–Leninism–Maoism as the new, third and higher stage of Marxism". However, today the RCP uses the term "New Synthesis" to describe its ideology and has moved away from Marxism–Leninism–Maoism, although they still call themselves Maoists.

Third Way: The term "Third Way" has been used to explain a variety of political courses and ideologies in the last few centuries. These ideas were implemented by progressives in the early 20th century.
In the United States, ... The Third Way style of governing was firmly adopted and partly redefined during the administration of President Bill Clinton. ... "Third Way" presidents "undermine the opposition by borrowing policies from it in an effort to seize the middle and with it to achieve political dominance".
[Note: Another term for that political "Synthesis" strategy of supposed "Centrism" is: Triangulation, which is basically Commiecrats of the Left and the Right scamming mostly Conservatives into "compromising" with them against our Constitution and our rights, then spinning that as if it's about "social justice" and such but it's really about the Fabian/gradual takeover and control of America by Communism, incrementally leftward. "Compromisers" of the Constitution are oath of office violators and foreign system(s) agents [Ref. FARA/Foreign Agents Registration Act].
