Killing millions and wrecking countries seems to be the goal of choice for communists.

Reality? Mao was not the brightest light on the Christmas tree, and unless you were willing to expend copious amounts of human life, most of his military theories were essentially worthless. Only the Chinese could afford the effects his ideas had on human material, and only the Chinese Communists could motivate people to do what they needed to do in order to make those ideas work tactically and strategically. The human costs? Incalculable. You have to wonder where China would be today, had Mao not come to power, and all those lives he expended so casually were lived out even semi-productively. Imagine China’s economic rise taking place in the 1950s and 1960s, instead of thirty years later: Where would the world be?

The Communist infiltrators in the US government who wrote off Chiang Kai Shek and abandoned mainland China to the Communists have a lot to answer for, not just to the Americans whose lives were affected, but to the millions of Chinese who suffered under Mao, and who still suffer to this day under the CCP.

Mao’s “success” as a leader came with a price of millions of lives lost, and millions more ruined. And, for what?
