Chairman's supporters? (7)

I believe the answer is:

maoists

'chairman's supporters?' is the definition.
(supporters of Chairman Mao)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for maoists that I've seen before include "group for a Chairman" , "Followers of Chinese leader Tse-Tung" , "Followers of China's revolutionary leader, d. 1976" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
