+| [Mass Line](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_line) | In Maoism, a method of growing class consciousness and communism, where communists consult the masses, interpret their ideas and suggestions within the framework of Marxist-Leninism, decide how to best solve those problems through collective action, and then enforce those resulting policies. |
+| [Mass Strike](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_strike) | A strike action in which a substantial proportion of the total labour force in a city, region, or country participates, spreading class consciousness, and forcing capitalist concessions.

+| [Alienation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marx%27s_theory_of_alienation) | A term used by Marx to denote the estrangement of workers under capitalism from the products of their labor, and themselves; the worker loses the ability to determine life and destiny, when deprived of the right to think of themselves as the director of their own actions; to determine the character of said actions; to define their relationships with other people; and to own the things produced by their own labor. Although the worker is an autonomous, self-realized human being, as an economic entity, this worker is directed by the bourgeoisie, who own the means of production with which they must work to survive. |
+| [Cultural Revolution](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Revolution) | In Maoism, the idea that capitalist values do constantly re-appear within the communist party, although not uniformly.

+| [Transitional Demand](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transitional_demand) | In Trotskyism, an agitational demand made by a socialist organization with the aim of linking the current situation to progress towards their goal of a socialist society. Transitional demands differ from calls for reform in that they call for things that governments and corporations are unwilling or unable to offer, and therefore, any progress towards obtaining a transitional demand is likely to weaken capitalism and strengthen the hand of the working class. Examples of transitional demands would be "Employment for all" or "Housing for all,"; demands that sound reasonable to the average citizen, but are practically impossible for capitalism to deliver on. |
+| [Dual Power](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_power_(Russian_Revolution)) | A tenet of Leninism, in which two powers, one proletarian(workers councils) and one capitalist(the official state apparatus) coexist compete for legitimacy, during the transition away from capitalism. |

+| [Protracted Peoples War](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marxism%E2%80%93Leninism%E2%80%93Maoism#People.27s_War) | In Maoism, a strategy for achieving communism that includes winning the support of the locals(usually the peasantry) in areas away from capitalist strongholds, and waging unconventional guerilla warfare, while building institutions of dual power to replace capitalist ones. |
+| Workers Militia                          | An important focus of Trotskyism, where local, self-organized working-class militias, fighting for their class interests, are the primary vehicle to achieve socialism. |
