For good or for evil, one of the most influential Marxist of the 20th Century, alongside Lenin, Stalin and Trostsky in international influence on Marxist thought and practice.
As for today's society, well there are still Maoist movements across the globe especially amongst agrarian socialist revolutionaries. Outside of that, Mao is about as relevant as Stalin, which means not much at all.
If I were to step out of a time machine into the year 3008, the first person people would ask me about would be Mao. No other person in the 20-th century has had such a historic impact on the planet.

Posters of C-D, what are your thoughts on mao and his influence in today's society and through out the world?
He was an excellent organizer, although apparently not as good as Sun Yat Sen or Chiang-Kai Shek, as Bukanin and the Soviets supported the KMT from the 1920s through the early latter part of WW II.
The Long March was probably his greatest triumph, but after that it appears he degenerated into the "cult of personality" and from that point on his influence was quite disruptive and not very constructive.
A man of the people. That's who we need for REAL change. Where are Maos of today?
Hopefully far, far away because his social programs are responsible for the death of millions of people.
