    The incidents I have described about Maoism are not from western media, TS, but from CPC state archives, referenced in books.

    Movimiento, these horrors also took place during the “Cultural Revolution”, but were not new. They began when Mao took power over the CPC and the arrival at Yenan in the mid-30s and throughout the 40s, and were applied to the nation as a whole from 1948.

    Moderator, I know these are off thread, but I have needed to reply to points made here. to Movimiento, and TS does not visit the Chinese threads.

    Movimiento, those the Maoists called “landlords” in the 1940s and 50s were mostly poor farmers.

    Infants were not exempt. Toddlers were tortured and killed as well as adults. Mao’s maxim was “I don’t care who I harm, but no one will be allowed to harm me.”

    Mao caused road havoc and some deaths when he ordered his most ardent followers to drive on the wrong side of the road.
    “A true Communist must drive on the left side of the road. Driving on the right is counterrevolutionary!”

    True Narcissist just cannot conceive of someone not being for either side. Hence his continuing to address us as pro-western.
    And this is where his Putinism coincides with the conspiraloons. They, too, misperceive things in the same way. They avoid social analysis because they are incapable of it. It isn’t even attainable by their severely restricted radar.

    That title applies to every politician under every flag.

    At least the fall of the Gang of Four and Mao’s death brought an end to the onslaught of Maoism on China’s people and written heritage.
    Already millions had died as a direct result of Mao’s demented policies, which even his own underlings knew were insane. And any more book burning and destruction would have completely destroyed Chinese antique literature and arts.

    Cuba, by the way, was also an enemy to Stalinists, and a ‘social imperialist’ lackey.

    Also, Mao, Nixon, Pol Pot, and friend Idi Amin, and later Reagan, Thatcher and Teng Hsiao-p’ing must have been an anti-imperialist coalition, as Chou En-lai et al were eager to point out … against ‘social imperialist’ Russia.

    I used “the loon” in a general sense.

    Simple, TS. Yours is the school playground view that all conspiraloons and nationalists have: goodies vs baddies. With you, everything is reduced to personalities.

    Look at this obscenity: the man who killed over thirty million people:

    Were TN at all consistent as a Stalinist, he should long ago have ditched Russia as “socialist” in 1956, let alone support Putin. He should similarly have ditched China upon the arrest of the Gang of Four in the 70s. His only idol today should be Kim Jong-un.

    The psychopathic Mao, and Pol Pot – they were REAL True Stalinists!

    Yes Bijou. Another aspect of the loon is to reject someone’s entire corpus of work on the basis of one thing they don’t like. Conversely, once in thrall to conspiralunacy, they then embrace every other conspiracy “theory” they hear about.

    This is the case with the conspiraloons. They reject study, but tell everyone to “look for themselves.” “How do you know the Earth’s a globe? I know it’s flat because I don’t see any curvature. Your books say it’s a globe, but they are masonic lies!”

    When one tries to reason, they dismiss you as a “book person” and say no one can know anything. But then they say “However, I KNOW!”

    In fact they are repeating word for word some self-styled online guru whom they practically worship.

    Just as ideology followers repeat the slogans of the leader.
