but this is just ignorance of Mao's China.

He was born in 1957. He himself was there and lived through it. Moreover, his father, who was a pre-1949 communist party member, was declared a dissident and "counter-revolutionary," and was exiled during Mao's years, when he spoke out against Mao's excesses.

So he's hardly "ignorant" of what went on. You may not like him, but he's speaking from experience people on FR will never have.

I've spoken to people who were imprisoned there for decades, people who fled, and people who had to live through it. If you are saying he's deliberately lying, maybe. But otherwise, I don't know what to tell you, because what he is saying differs from many, many independent sources.

As members of the new ruling Red aristocracy at the head of a conquering army, the guy’s family merely fell from grace. That’s the slings and arrows of imperial whim at work, not censorship. Millions of the censored were put into mass graves by people like his father.
