One of history’s most brutal dictators, Mao Zedong all but destroyed China in the 20th century. As the leader of the Chinese Communist Party, he starved and oppressed his own people, causing the deaths of over 50 million and the suffering of countless more. Paul Kengor, Professor of Political Science at Grove City College, uncovers the chilling truth of Mao’s rule.

  2. British Christian colonisers unalived 4.5 million Indians in India, and then blamed them for making babies like rats… and yet there are now 45 million Christians/Catholics in poor India… (sleeping with their enemy?) What about the poor Philippines? 😊 If you think your slave masters/warmongers/colonisers really know of a secret garden/paradise/heaven somewhere, and they are sharing it with you, think again! 🙃😊

    In the past, they ruled our ancestors with their guns bcos our ancestors were weak. Now, they rule some of us with their roses for our graves and their Bibles/Qurans bcos we are foolish. 😢

  3. In economics, the antonym of Communism (like the Vatican City) is Capitalism (like USA). China is a socialist economy with Chinese (Confucianism/Taoism…) communistic (sharing) characterics.

    In politics, the antonym of democracy is authoritarian/dictatorship/absolute monarcy (like the God of the Bible, the Pope, King of Saudi Arabia). China has the best democratic system, in which their political leaders are (s)elected from the grassroots level based on meritocracy, unlike Western democracies based on (celebrity) popularity contests… 😊

    China had never colonised another country. China is our only hope for our continued peace/prosperity/humanity in East Asia. The 120 year-old Philippines (and QUAD) should stop being troublemakers in this peaceful ancient South China Sea region! I am from Singapore btw… 😊

  4. Chinese >>>worldwide<<< make up 20% of the world's population with 30% of the world's wealth, 40% growth/goods shipped, 50% of the world's billionares, 60% of the world's female billionares (thanks again to Mao Zedong), 70% of the world's AI patents, 0% wars… 🥰🥰🥰

  6. Everyone interested in China should read former Red Guard Jung Chang's Wild Swans and also Mao The Unknown Story. Heart breaking, especially the way corrupt Commies treated her father. (Who was himself a dedicated communist!) If you're seriously interested in how the CCP works, read Rowan Callick's Party Time, which includes frank comments about the system by young Chinese. Also Bill Hayton's: The Invention of China.

  12. We spent so much time talking about nazis but communism isnt talked about much. I tell people about what people like mao did to the countries they lead. Sadly, we as Americans supported these men and we regretted it big time. Everyone is shocked when i tell them because they weren't ever told in school. We need to help others know more about what communism is and what it did to our world and how it effects us today.

  13. According to the Black Book of Communism, written by Left leaning French academics, the Soviets murdered about 20 million of their own citizens while CCP murdered about 40 million. Murdering 40 million of your own citizens is a "great achievement"?.. I dont think so.

  14. Makes me happy to know that your greatest achievement will be talking about China. While the world continues to depend on China for goods and investments. Keep talking shit. You can't be any greater than this.

  15. I remember asking a subreddit on china or communism, about 10 accomplishments that Mao did. Some minutes later i got banned from the that subreddit with a message that im an interior western brainwashed with little braincells.

    So much proving their point about how great Mao was 🫩🫩

  26. 1:28. I read in "Mao, the unknow story", by Jung Chang, that Mao wasn't the only thing that was carried on the backs of human carriers during the Long March. He spent most of the march reading books from his personal library, all carried on the backs of his entourage.
    Furthermore, according to the author, Mao deliberately prolonged the March, leading into hostile areas, thereby prolonging the suffering of his troops.

  29. I read one story where a man was caught stealing food because his family was starving, Mao ordered him to bury his own son alive, a few days kater the man killed himself in grief.

    Mao wasn't just evil, he truly was a monster. Anyone who admires this monster should be banished to china and have to live there for life.

  32. I'm really annoyed that you keep including Taiwan in your China maps. That's just not historical facts. Taiwan, all during this time, was a Japanese colony, and later under Chiang. It was NEVER under the Communist regime.

  34. This " monster " increased longevity from early forties to over 70 years of age after early catastrophic food production ideas but did abolish famines in China, introduced a medical access plan available to all, emphasized education with extensive illiliteracy abolished and created an educated work force for when China started to leap forward, extensive Opium useage ( a despicable relic from the British using it as a trading product ) was successfully completely abolished, etc etc. all these astounding advancements achieved in less than 40 years before he died. Mao is rightfully revered in China and considered by many as 20 per cent negative but an incredible 80 per cent successful.
