How can so many on the left admire Mao?

Name a commie that wasn’t.
Now, name a Democrat that’s not a commie.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Sarah Paine is (or was) a professor a the Naval War College and did a series of lectures that are on YouTube about Mao and his rise to power. They are very good at explaining that the calculation in his cruelty. The Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution were not simply madness (although they were madness). They were cold and calculated to keep power by mass killing and imprisonment.
If Mao was diagnosed with western psychology he would have been declared to have the “Dark Triad” of narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy
Unfortunately, those are exactly the traits needed to climb to the top of a huge, centralized government and top-down society like China.
Let that be a lesson to the United States.
He out-Hitlered Hitler, yet hardly a peep do we hear of his crimes.
> Does any self-respecting person give effusive praise of either of those two? And if not to them, then why to Mao?
Hitler lost and was repudiated. Stalin won, but still was repudiated eventually. But Mao: he *won*, and his heirs still run the country. The common fools absolutely love a winner and will suck up to them enthusiastically and without complaint.
Mai’s “accomplishments” may be ignored by the MSM but are not being ignored by Google AI:
Question: How many people was Mao Zedong responsible for killing?
Google AI Answer:
Historians estimate that Mao Zedong was responsible for the deaths of 40 million to 80 million people through state-sponsored violence, forced labor, and man-made famines during his rule of China from 1949 to 1976.
According to historical research and records, the vast majority of these deaths occurred as indirect or direct results of radical economic and political campaigns:
The Great Leap Forward (1958–1962): This industrial and agricultural campaign caused the deadliest man-made famine in human history (the Great Chinese Famine). Historians like Frank Dikötter and other demographic studies estimate that between 30 million and 45 million people starved, were beaten, or were worked to death.
Political Purges and Executions (1949–1950s): Early campaigns to eliminate landlords, “counterrevolutionaries,” and political dissidents resulted in several million executions.
The Laogai (Prison Labor Camps): Millions of people passed through China’s “reform through labor” camp system, where deaths from exhaustion, malnutrition, and abuse are estimated to range between 4 million and 25 million over the course of his regime.
The Cultural Revolution (1966–1976): The social and political chaos unleashed during this decade led to widespread purges, forced suicides, and violent persecutions, with death toll estimates ranging from hundreds of thousands to several millions directly, and higher figures when counting the broader societal collapse
How about Mao Zebiden?
It’s an indisputable, bald-faced lie when a Communist/Democrat Party politician announces they will “do away with prisons” when elected. History clearly shows that socialism, an interim step to communism, cannot survive without prisons to control their subjects as people, over time, begin following their human nature for freedom and Liberty.
Evileaders is God’s punishment on the people for allowing it to happen.
Mao was a real hero to the retarded college aho snowflakes in this country that we are wasting money on trying to educate. Their heroes are Stalin, Lenin, the Castro boys, the homosexual Che’ Guevara, Jane Fonda’s little Pimp Ho Chi Pimp and Pol Pot, to name a few.
Obozo’s Christmas tree featured a Christmas ball with Mao’s picture on it in 2009
Mao liked his “Swimming Girls”.
The main saving fact is that all slants hate each other more than they hate the round eyes, there is no logical explanation except that they must all think like DemonRATs.
The SCMP, despite the notations above, has been known to be an official outlet for Chinese propaganda.
Mao, Stalin, and Hitler were three of a kind!
Leftist and others who refuse to put Mao and/or Stalin in the same category of extreme evil as Hitler are totally deluded!
Come judgement day...
Come Judgment Day, when all the bells are still,
And light withdraws behind the iron hill,
When every mask the living wore is torn,
And truth stands barefoot in the naked morn—
Come Judgment Day, when kings and beggars meet,
Their crowns like ashes scattered at their feet;
When deeds, not names, are written in the flame,
And mercy calls each wanderer by name.
Then let my heart, though trembling, rise and say:
“I chose the love that outlives night and day.
I failed, yet sought; I fell, yet turned anew—
The little good I had, I gave and grew.”
If thunder rolls across the emptied sky,
And ancient stars go dark before my eye,
Let me not plead for silver, rank, or breath,
But stand unhidden in the face of death.
For where the final scales are lifted high,
No secret sorrow vanishes unheard;
The smallest kindness, offered passing by,
May shine more brightly than a thousand words.
So come, last dawn; let all things be revealed.
Let every wound be mended, every field
Rise green from ash, and every soul be freed
From fear, from pride, from hatred, and from greed.
Come Judgment Day—not as a day of doom,
But as the door through which the lost find home;
When justice walks with mercy hand in hand,
And love becomes the law of every land.

The reason Hitler is with us everyday is to continue the war against Western Civilization, Mao serves no purpose to the left and educating people on his atrocities only hurts the left and their causes, the same with Stalin, he was white, but being Communist makes him also unusable to the left, so current Americans know almost nothing negative about him and his government.
The horrors of Hitler and the white race it is, today and everyday, for the rest of your life.
