French term or phrase: tentations maoïsantes
"une histoire occultée et méconnue : le grand mouvement de décolonisation d’après guerre qui a donné naissance à des tentations indépendantistes, autonomistes et maoïsantes".
I've been trying to find something short and snappy along the lines of "near-Maoist" or "Maoist-friendly" but I can't seem to find the right expression.
Thanks in advance !
