36 Million?

That number is WAY to low. Mao was the greatest mass murder of the last century, eclipsing Stalin and Hitler (other Socialist Democrats) at likely 75-100 million.

100 million here, 100 million there....soon your talking about real mass murder.

Commies murder AND torture.

They are the embodiment of evil... Commies pull off power grabs by pushing the lie they'll be the 'lost parents of our childhood' who will give to us without taking. Who will 'distribute' family wealth evenly and fairly among all the children and protect us.

The truth of communism is they'll murder your bother, rape and torture your sister and starve one of your parents to death.

The biggest "Nigerian Scam" from hell the world as ever seen is Communism.

Yang opens the book with his father’s death in 1959.

A single death, and as the left's beloved Uncle Joe said, "One death is a tragedy, 36 million are just a statistic."

Growing up in this environment, young Chinese developed a fervent belief in Communist ideals and intolerance for dissenting voices. “Any words or deeds that diverged from these ideas would be met with a concerted attack.”

Actually, this sounds very familiar. Many of our millennials are exactly like this.

Mao launched the cultural revolution in 1967. It is estimated that 20 million died as a result.

Poor Yang, a creature of the CCP, is off by a lot - most conservative estimates put the number at 74 million while others say over 80 million. Yang is a wumao, paid to make the CCP look as good as possible.

However, in China Mao is worshiped by almost all Chinese, he just made a mistake, but is the Father of their country, respected and honored in every household.

Are you talking about the total death toll from CCP rule in China, or just from starvation during the Great Leap Forward?

I understood the 36 million to be just those killed as a result of the famine caused by the GLF.

Socialism Killed 36 Million Chinese

Over the decades, the numbers killed keeps shrinking. This is liberalism rewriting history for their benefit. But, what's 100,000,000 among friends?

So now there is a moral difference between those shot, beaten, worked to death and those murdered by deliberate starvation?

All the problems of today’s China stem from Mao’s Cultural Revolution, aka the Great Leap Backward, his campaign of hated for all things Chinese. All of the death is laid directly on Mao, The Monster.

Why?
Do you plan on eating your ammo?
We should be using it to kill the bastards that stole the election.
Should have already.

Only 36 million? Now China’s at the point where they need to lose at least a third of a billion.

"RE: As _some_ Americans turn left. Not most, just some.

Let’s assume that Trump really won the elections by a margin of 80 million to 68 million.

68 Million is still a HUGE NUMBER of our population.

==========================================================

Agreed.

However, another factor that has to be considered is the TENS OF MILLIONS of foreign nationals coming into our country...both legally and illegally are overwhelmingly liberal in their government/political "philosophies."

And they are having a larger, and larger voice in what goes on in this country...even elections.

The country is actively importing leftist's to bolsters those already here.

"It is amazing how many Americans think the bear and my buddy analogy works with Socialism.

Eventually, the bear gets you too."

Indeed, they eventually eat their own.

From carcraft's link just above...

Rounding up enemies

Only five years later, when he sensed that revolutionary fervor in China was waning, Mao proclaimed the Cultural Revolution. Gangs of Red Guards -- young men and women between 14 and 21 -- roamed the cities targeting revisionists and other enemies of the state, especially teachers.

Professors were dressed in grotesque clothes and dunce caps, their faces smeared with ink. They were then forced to get down on all fours and bark like dogs. Some were beaten to death, some even eaten -- all for the promulgation of Maoism. A reluctant Mao finally called in the Red Army to put down the marauding Red Guards when they began attacking Communist Party members, but not before 1 million Chinese died.

We have already seen the beginnings of the aunty-fa / blm crowd going after liberals. It's going to intensify when the weather begins to warm.

Sheesh. I'm trying to reconcile one set of numbers with another, not making any claim about "moral differences". Don't be ridiculous.

No where did you make that claim of trying to reconcile anything. You did imply that there was difference - perhaps that’s not what you meant but its what you implied.

Stalin and his cronies especially Khrushchev murdered 69 million people. No reconciliation needed. I have the break down, but its on the other PC and its off and its bed time.
