Mao: Greatest Mass Murderer

http://www.newser.com/story/comments/100776/mao-greatest-mass-murderer.html

Mao Zedong is the greatest mass murderer in history, having coordinated the death of 45 million Chinese peasants from 1958 to 1962, the Independentreports. Historian Frank Dikötter is the first to examine a block of Communist Party archives made available four year ago, and found—despite official whitewashing—that the acts of violence of the Communist authorities during the Great Leap Forward were carefully recordedNewser

That wasn't too long ago actually.

Hopefully the socialist leadership in North Korea will fall, although even this day in age it's hard to get an accurate picture as to how much state-sponsored geonicde there is... it's widely reported from people who snuck in camera's that there's plenty of enslavement.

We already know this.

North Korea is communist, not socialist.

Not surprising.

Oh my god, i want to be just like him now. Thank you for sharing this information, TC. I now have an idol. GHlegend77

It was a tumultuous period in China's history, not entirely surprising if that indeed happened. There were a few rulers like that throughout China's history as well, and Mao's probably wasn't the worst amongst them

He seems to have been the worst in terms of sheer quantity. Elraptor

Could have been, I have my doubts if he really is the worst judging solely by the number of people he killed, directly or indirectly. He is perceived to be the worst because he is the most recent ruler in China and a lot have been written about him

Once you get above a million-plus people dead because of policies you enacted, I'm not really sure how you rate one as better/worse than another. Does another million make you worse?

tbh I'm not surprised no one tried to stop him China isn't the type of country you want to make an enemy of .

Shouldn't it be worse mass murder:?

Considering that Mao was in charge, he basically was the country that you don't want to make an enemy of.

I'm not sure one can say he's the "Greatest Mass Murderer." The choice of words isn't particularly good.Logan1616

Well, we did just have the voting of the greatest villain on GS. It could be comparable I suppose, if a comparison have to be make...

I hate to say this but China is the strongest country in the world because of Maoism, which like a pyramid celebrates the base or the workers but has a hierarchy that is communist. Today people become part of the heirarchy by achievement such as making a ton of money.

be careful they watching us

There has never been an area that has actually adhered to Communism. What North Korea has is some form of Socialism.

Communism is extreme socialist.

No. Communism is the extreme of socialism, and terrorism is completely different than those two; though, Communit governments often employ terror to keep their ruthless iron grips on the people; using the secret police. Woe to the Leaders if the party line changes....

Evil Mass Murderer of course. Nazism (?) was based on the Communist Manifesto written by Marx intrestingly.

But, I think it is hypocritical for the west to criticize china for someone like Mao, since western world probably cause more deaths and destruction than all other eras combined, during the imperial age and two world wars. Keep in mind that leaders like chang-kai-shek and Mao rose to power in china because of major powers pillaging in china.

I'll tell you right now that the West was NOT reponsible for instigatingthe wold wars. I could tell you what triggered both of them and what led to war breaking out. Imperial Age was in Europe not in NA.

Hitler based the Nazi (National Socialist German Workers Party) off of Communism; though he himself hated it intensely.

Usually when people speak of the West, they mean NA/SA. Yes, US has native bood on it hands (and Canada does too; and the Natives were also responsible for a settler massacre as well.) How is Tibet responsible for massacres? Unless if you're referring to when China took over Tibet and ordered mass executions of Tibet nationals.

Nope? I can't really argue a fact.

This is an oversimplification, but some forms of socialism were meant as a stepping stone to communism.

tbh being a Major Power in the World is a double edge Sword most of the World Great Powers have killed there fair share of Natives and innocents examples

U.S - Native Americans plus the invasion of the Philippians

UK - killed Millions of people in India & Aborigines

Russia - Josef Starlin that's all that has to be said

China - Mao

we all have some blood on our hands but id like to think we have done more good than bad .

Yet people will continue to refer to Hitler Poor Stalin. Poor Zedong.

Include Japan in the list of countries. Theywere reponsible for many, many deaths of soldiers and civillians alike.

And that country is still grossly overpopulated.
