** 25-Sep-2019 World View: Mao Zedong
It's typical of the left that when you can't deal with facts you
immediately go to Hillary Clinton's "basket of deplorables -- racist,
sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic — you name it."
When I was writing the book, someone suggested that I could be
criticized for being racist about criticizing the Chinese. That's why
I went to a great deal of trouble to point out that the same Chinese
people lived in Taiwan and colonial Hong Kong. By 2010, Taiwan and
Hong Kong had 10 times the income as China. It's not the Chinese
people, but the fanatical, catastrophic CCP that infinitely damaged
the wonderful Chinese people living in China.
The same is true of the Japanese and South Koreans, as well as
Taiwanese and colonial Hong Kongers. They've all done very well since
WW II, while the mainland Chinese have faced abuse, jailings,
arbitratry arrests, beatings, rapes, enslavements, a one-child policy,
and poverty from the CCP.
The fact that the CCP is planning a war of revenge against Japan and a
war of annexation against Taiwan is difficult to blame on racism,
especially since the Taiwanese are Chinese too.
No he didn't do anything of the sort. It amazes me what the loony
left would say to defend this monster Mao. I remember in the 1960s
students were walking around with copies of Mao's "little red book" in
their back pockets, and praising Mao as he was implementing the worst
and most disastrous agicultural policy in the history of any country
at any time in the world.
In my book, I quoted Soviet communist theory dating back to the 1920s,
as well as Mao's own writings. The Great Leap Forward catastrophe was
caused by Mao's fanatical obsession to prove that Marxism, Socialism
and Communism were economically superior to Capitalism. Instead, what
he did was so disastrous, he ended up completely humiliating himself
and completely proving that Marxism, Socialism and Communism are all
disastrously inferior to capitalism. However, it was only after Mao
died in 1976 that Deng Xiaoping finally was able to initiate the
"Reform and Opening Up," replacing Marxism, Socialism and Communism
with "Socialism with Chinese Characteristics," which turns out to be
the same as Hitler's National Socialism.
Oh wait! Now I get your point! You're right! Mao did want to
replace the last vestiges of Western colonialism -- democracy, good
governance, concern for human rights, independent judiciary, free
elections, free markets, and so forth --- He replaced those last
vestiges of Western colonialism in China with dictatorship, beatings,
torture, rape, mass slaughter, mass jailings, slave labor, starvation,
and so forth.
So you're right! You've made an amazing point! Mao replaced the
vestiges of colonialism -- democracy, human rights, free markets --
with the tenets of Socialism -- beatings, torture, rape, starvation.
So Mao DID get rid of the last vestiges of colonialism in China, as
you say. That was VERY insightful for someone on the loony left to
say. But aren't you afraid that by saying something like that the
other people on the loony left are going to accuse you of becoming a
traitor and a scumbag collaborator, and of turning into a fascist, a
racist, a misogynist and a white supremacist? You'd better be
careful. The loony left is watching you, and they're coming to get
you.
This is laughable, when people on the loony left have such psychotic
hatred of 60 million Trump supporters, who can't tell the difference
between a tweet and an action, and who have adopted Antifa as this
generation's Ku Klux Klan, attacking 60 million Trump supporters.
This is completely hallucinatory. There's no limit to the total
craziness of loony left climate activists.
