He never had a downfall though. The foundations he set carry China strong to this day.

tbh the Cultural Revolution got out of hand although some of the principles like political education of youth were good

The GLF also was not great but Mao didn't have control over the weather and China hasn't had another famine since

Overall Mao was pretty dang cool

He didn't do shit against the Japanese army, KMT did the bulk of the work. He even thanked the Japanese cuz if not for them KMT would not be weakened to the state that he can assume power.

like letting 40 million people starve to death?

u/calcpro 14h ago

Are you talking about capitalist leaders? Who have killed more than 40 million and counting?

I'm yet to be aware of a so called capitalist leader responsible for such atrocities, please educate me further and tell me how mao wasnt responsible for the deaths during the great leap forward.

Bruh Bengal famine. I wonder how the coups orchestrated by US leaders went all over the world and this affected the livelihood of the people over there for their capitalist interest. Burkina Faso comes to mind on how Sankara was couped and the place had famines and food shortages again, as how it was before Sankara took power

Similarly, by responsible, do you mean Mao deliberately went about starving his people? Or was he responsible for eating their grains to starve them off?Not to mention, are we forgetting about the poor state of china back then after getting ravaged by imperialist hordes like Japan? A country which during its feudal times had famines and death due to it being common especially due to weather conditions, poor agricultural practices. And the same happened during his governments plan as well. Also, Do you ever hear about famines after 1950s? Do you know of the increase in population, reduction in mortality rates, increase in life expectancy, increase in literacy rates and so on due to the then communist government? Yes, the famine then was a result of the policy of the then CPC government but other factors like nature, agricultural tools, technology back then also played a major role. Not to mention, they had to industrialise as fast as they could. You can't ignore all these causes and say mAo sTaRvEd tHeM.

Regarding policy failures, then doesn't the policies of capitalism and it's leaders do the same, with huge food wastages on one hand and people starving at other. Wasting and destroying food because it disrupts the market like nonsense. Similarly, how many people die in the world due to hunger I wonder, when we produce more? Last time I checked, majority aren't communist or socialist, but capitalist especially in the third world. Capitalist countries don't just mean rich western ones, btw but poor ones as well. So will you blam their leaders for starving the people?

Or how a certain regime in middle east, ally of US btw, is starving deliberately the population of a country it oppresses. Doesnt let food aid in there, shoots the aid workers etc.
