Army of the People: Maoist?

I was surprised that I was redirected to the Texian Army page when I searched for "army of the people"… With all due respect, I would argue that the Maoist concept of people's war is far more important in world history than the Texian Army: In keeping with Wikipedia's Worldwide View policy, it seems most certain that the people's war is much more global in nature than the Texian Army AKA the Army of the People, being not only that China is bigger than Texas, but also because Maoism has been far more influential in history than the Texas Revolution, with Maoist parties throughout the world. Thus, I propose we change the redirect of "Army of the People" from going to this article to the People's War article. Finally, I would like to supply some information to those unfamiliar with Maoist military theory to help educate those involved in this dispute: https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/mao/works/red-book/ch14.htm https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/mao/works/red-book/ch09.htm Jamutaq (talk) 21:15, 1 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I would support it going to a disambiguation page, but not being directly pointed to another article. When I google "army of the people", I got 3 results related to the Texas Revolution, and 4 or 5 relating to a song associated with Russia. Chinese links didn't appear until page 2.
