despite recently being reminded of just how mental hardcore Zionists are, I'd still go with Maoists. I mean these people believe some truly WILD SHIT!

And speaking of maoists, some fuckwit historian was saying how the Munster anabaptists were basically proto-Maoists in the latest In Our Time episode. Did you listen to that one, Choccy?

No, definitely Zionists with their fucking martyrdom complex. Or maybe Maoists have that, too?

First-world third-worldists certainly have it in fucking spades. Look at this:

Typical US/UK Maoist street stall:
Passing proletarian: Hello mate, what's all this about then?
Maoist: Well, first of all I want you and me to have less power and privilege.
Proletarian: That programme sounds appealing, where do I sign up?
Also, if you can find a copy of Slouching Towards Bethlehem by Joan Didion, the essay "Comrade Laski, C.P.U.S.A. (M-L)" is an unforgettably haunting depiction of Maoist mentalness.

"Yet, it should be noted that throughout this period of incredible sectarianism, POC managed to recruit workers in small numbers (while continuing to lose members as well). How was this possible? It was achieved largely through the efforts of the members in selling the paper door-to-door in poor neighborhoods. This had a comical side, although I must admit I didn’ t see it at the time; here was this paper, whose lead article was likely to be entitled “Polarization on A World Scale,” being used for outreach work. Yet, to some degree it worked. There were always a few people who would be attracted by the members’ obvious sense of purpose and dream of a better world. These recruits were of two categories: people from the lower depths of society, and moreover people who had no previous independent political activity that would make them want something more than blanket denunciations of every form of struggle around them; and whites from the left who were masochistically drawn to POC’s furious condemnation of intellectuals. I think the Jehovah’s Witnesses are able to grow on much the same basis."

If Maoists are self-described "monkey kings," and Stalinist fossils are as stubborn as a mule, then this whole thing is just a case of monkeys vs. donkeys

there are more animals involved in the struggle of two lines:

""Down with cow ghosts and snakes spirits!" was first used in Communist China in 1957 to demonize bad and lawless elements in the countryside. The slogan was revived and used in a 1966 People's Daily editorial entitled 'heng sao yiqie niugui sheshen' (sweep away all monsters and demons). The bovine haints and reptile spirits included 'landlords, rich peasants, counterrevolutionaries, bad elements, and rightists who have not thoroughly transformed themselves.'"
Zionists or Maoists, more mental?
