In 1958 the leader of the Chinese Communist Party set his country on a "great leap forward". The intention was for China to catch up with the west as an industrial powerhouse, bringing prosperity to China. Instead the economic chaos of this great leap started a famine which killed over 45 million innocent people.

Mao was just misunderstood. - Liberal speak.
Mao makes Stalin and Hitler look like a piker.
Yes, and Democrats are in overdrive trying to do the same thing to the American People. ANYTHING for power.
How Mao’s ‘Great Leap Forward’ Killed 45 Million People
—
Bringing his life time total murder count to an all time high of 76,702,000
And why not? The Democrat Party is and has always been the Party of Slavery, and what's more fitting than the enslavement of that vast peasantry?
I remember a cartoon from way back then. It shows a large ditch where Mao has tried to do the GREAT LEAP FORWARD and he ended up in the mud in the bottom of the ditch.
Liberals love Mao, he is their role model.
I read where he exterminated an entire class of people.
Good video catch. Thanks.
I read where he exterminated an entire class of people.
He provided the blueprint for the liberals.
70 Million!!
maybe, Pol Pot wiped out the entire middles class of Cambodia, almost 25% of the countries population
I remember the WH Christmas tree when Obozo was there featured a Christmas ball with Mao’s picture on it...
My pleasure.
One death is a tragedy - a million deaths is just a statistic.
The history of China is all about statistics.
Actual Transcript of Anita Dunn, Obama’s White House Communications Director, giving a speech to high school students in June 2009:
A lot of you have great deal of ability. A lot of you work hard. Put them together and that answers the why not question. There is usually not a good reason. And then the 3rd lesson and tip actually come from two of my favorite political philosophers. Mao Tse-tung and Mother Teresa, not often couple with each other, but the two people that I turn to most to basically deliver a simple point which is you’re going to make choices, you’re going to challenge, you’re going to say why not. You’re going to figure out how to do things that have never been done before. But here’s the deal, these are your choices, they’re no one else’s.
In 1947, when Mao Tse-tung was being challenged within his own party, on his plan to basically take China over, Chiang Kai-shek and the nationalist Chinese held the cities, they had the army, they had the air force, they had everything on their side and people said how can you win, how can you do this, how can you do this against all odds against you, and Mao Tse-tung said “You fight your war and I’ll fight mine.” Think about that for a second, you don’t have to accept the definition of how to do things and you don’t have to follow other people’s choices in the past. Okay. It is about your choices in your path, you fight your own war. You lay out your own path. You figure out what is right for you. You don’t let external definition how good you are internally. You fight your own war. You let them fight their’s. Everybody has their own path.
"Anita Dunn was speaking at the graduation ceremony for St. Andrews Episcopal School (Potomac, MD) It was held at The Washington National Cathedral. When speaking to a high school graduating class a member of Obama’s inner circle praises Mao, within ‘Washington National Cathedral’ no less. This is sacrilegious, outrageous, and downright evil."
Anita Dunn (née Babbitt; born January 8, 1958) is an American political strategist who served as a senior advisor to U.S. President Joe Biden, holding the post from January 20, 2021, to August 12, 2021,[3] and again from May 5, 2022 to August 2024.[4] She is currently serving as a senior adviser to the Future Forward PAC.[5]
Aquaintances of ours are an American guy that married a Chinese woman. Her father had been a shop owner and I guess high enough in class to be a threat. Mao shipped him off to be a farmer.
They visited her home town. Cameras everywhere, two roads in and out, with double fences and two check points for each road.
The husband said it is basically a prison. The wife looked at him and said “No it’s not! The security was for our own benefit to keep thieves out. We left to go to the fields every day!” (The nearest other town was hundreds of miles away).
I found their argument interesting as they had been married for over 5 years, and it was as if he had never mentioned it to her before. (Maybe he hadn’t??)
Thanks I put this on my watch list.
