It is as if the Nazis hadn't been defeated and now, 50 years later with Hitler dead and a successor dead, they were a lot more civil and a lot less murderous (but still very much so). They would still be Nazis and we would not accept that.
Mao ranks up there with the Qing Dynasty "First Emperor" Shihuangdi, who built the Great Wall with human blood and flesh as mortar. IOW, one of the most abominable figures in history.
When one reads Kissinger's memoir writing he was swooning over Mao and the power he had. Kissinger was actually drunk on being so close to Mao's raw power over a billion people or so and got off on being party to it and partnering with him and such a regime.

It's about time that someone tell the truth about Mao Tse Tung, one of the worst tyrants in history.

You might find this interesting..
No surprises in this I've known for years that Mao was a blood thirsty thug!
Darn! I thought this was a Halloween article!
"The Chinese people will someday thank and honor Jung Chang and Jon Halliday."
I am not chinese, but Jung Chang is one of my heros. I read her book Wild Swans for a book club I belonged too, and it had enough in it about the cult of Mao, that I knew this new book was going to be just excellent.
God Bless her for her courage, as well as being willing to take the time to do a full and complete picture of Mao. I have not taken the time to read it yet, but plan to do so soon.

As Mao told his staff, “50 million” might have to die…you can’t blame me when people die.”
Reminds me of the comment by the PLA general about 800 milion casualties being "acceptable" in a nuclear exchange with the United States.
