    MLM is more well-known as an abbreviation for somehow legal pyramid schemes.

    To your question, I’d simply ask the question of is Kim’s leadership an overall asset or detriment to the people of the DPRK.

      Actually interesting you say this, I remember using MLM for Marxism–Leninism–Maoism for years before suddenly all my ex-friends and barely acquaintences started trying to con me into their makeup hustles.

      The further left the community is, the more likely Marxism–Leninism–Maoism ends up being the default assumption of a no-context use of MLM.

        I figured that was what it must have meant despite never seeing that abbreviation’s use.

        For the so-called Maoists, cope and seethe. You don’t win the abbreviation but you can have the dunk tank as consolation.
