On so-called Maoists, Chairman Mao himself said “there is no Maoism” as he considered Mao Zedong Thought to be simply an application of Marxism-Leninism. It seems people who unironically call themselves “Maoists” are not that different from Hoxhaists.

I’d also encourage you to visit the ProleWiki pages on these subjects.

Originally they weren't, but current (especially western) versions seem pretty close. I guess that comes with guzzling the same COINTELPRO narrations.

Yes they are. A few good threads on this:
