Most evil man ever?
Even more so than guys like Hitler, Stalin, Bin Laden and Trump? What do you think?
shareWhy do people always leave out Mao Zedong and Pol Pot when listing history's evil men? They were as bad or worse than Hitler and Stalin.
shareNever heard of Pol Pot and I learned in college about the great many things Mao Zedong did for his country so its reasonable to leave him off the list, even if he did a few bad things
shareThe great many things Mao Zedong did for his country? Are you serious, Clark?
Tell me about the great things Hitler and Stalin did for their countries too.
I can't name great things about Hitler or Stalin but did you know Mao lifted millions out of poverty thru his socialist policies
shareAre you referring to the 30 million Chinese peasants that starved to death from the Great Chinese Famine, brought on from his socialist Great Leap Forward policies, or some other millions?
Maybe the 20 million massacred during the Cultural Revolution? Those millions? Which millions are we talking about here?
I didn't learn about anyone starving to death during Maos tenure. I'll have to look into that
shareRead a history book:
In 1958, he launched the Great Leap Forward that aimed to rapidly transform China's economy from agrarian to industrial, which led to the deadliest famine in history and the deaths of 15–55 million people between 1958 and 1962. In 1963, Mao launched the Socialist Education Movement, and in 1966 he initiated the Cultural Revolution, a program to remove "counter-revolutionary" elements in Chinese society which lasted 10 years and was marked by violent class struggle, widespread destruction of cultural artifacts, and an unprecedented elevation of Mao's cult of personality. Tens of millions of people were persecuted during the Revolution, while the estimated number of deaths ranges from hundreds of thousands to millions.share
Aside from you probably just trolling and thinking you're so very original... where do you study, China?
