Of all the ignorant unsubstantiated peurile statements you have made this has to rate in the top 10. Mao was clearly a Communist, with complete command and control. He was not a fascist, because he owned rather than regulated. What did mao own? It is also fair to say he had some populist tendencies, aiming to play to the masses whilst destroying them. That is why china has the highest standard of living it has enjoyed in the past 100 years? Do you just open your mouth to change feet? Are you seriously seeking to credit Mao for this ? Not for nothing but wasn't the bar set awfully low in the first place ? Not as if China ever enjoyed a decent standard of living for the masses pre Mao. Maybe he thinks that the Great Leap Forward that killed 45 million people was just awesome since it took them out of their misery? So. . . now that we have praised the greatest mass murderer in history, whose next? Perhaps try and out do Mary Kay by promoting the Elizabeth Bathory beauty regime?
