Today in History: Mao Zedong (also known as Chairman Mao) Chinese communist revolutionary who was the founder of the People's Republic of China (PRC) was born on this day in 1893. When you bring up Mao, you have to ask: Who was the biggest mass murderer in the history of the world? Most people would say Hitler, but you would be wrong. Some would say Josef Stalin, who killed more people than Hitler due to government imposed famines. But both Hitler and Stalin were outdone by Mao Zedong. From 1958 to 1962, his Great Leap Forward policy led to the deaths of up to 45 to 65 million people—easily making it the biggest episode of mass murder ever recorded.
It's not lost on me that the greatest killers in history were all Socialists.
Mao would actually brag about his mass deaths as well: “What’s so unusual about Emperor Shih Huang of the China Dynasty? He had buried alive 460 scholars only, but we have buried alive 46,000 scholars.” In his "Great Leap Forward" he collectivized China’s agriculture which lead to the worst famine in human history. After this Mao proclaimed the Cultural Revolution where gangs of Red Guards would terrorize one city after another. Professors were dressed in grotesque clothes and dunce caps, their faces smeared with ink. They were then forced to get down on all fours and bark like dogs. Some were beaten to death, some were even eaten.
One of Mao's mottos was “Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.”
Yet, despite all this, the New York Times praised him in a tweet: The Times wrote that he "began as an obscure peasant" and "died one of history’s great revolutionary figures.” But a short time later, the New York Times’ Archives account deleted the tweet and explained simply that it was because it “lacked critical historical context.” This should tell you all you need to know about the US Media.
