Didn’t SHE begin to disappear from some official “photos” as certain people near Stalin began to disappear in photos?

Socialists are human beings with all of our faults, vices and fears.
Mao’s tactics are common among all leftists/collectivists/radicals.
Indeed, I see some used by Obama - particularly focusing on broad, meaningless social justice themes, and support/organization of street agitation. It all works to confuse and confound a population when pushing radical political policies, and keeps opposition off balance.
Now people in China, who had the luxury of not having to live during Mao’s rule, would say that, as bad as Mao may have been, he was necessary to ultimately turn China into a Superpower.
It’s the same with Stalin in Russia.
