Mao -- leftwing monster

By Aussiegirl

Lay aside a block of time to read this in-depth portrait of that left-wing monster, Mao Tse Tung, who is still revered in China to this day. The following few paragraphs only begin to hint at the enormity of his crimes and the source of them - a boundless, sociopathic and narcissistic ego driven by a hegemonic and megalomaniacal vision to control not only China, but the entire world.

Mao's vision was to industrialize China and to enlarge its navy and military might, especially the acquisition of nuclear weapons with which he planned to eventually rule the world. As he lay dying, he self-pityingly lamented having failed to enlarge China's hegemonic grip on Asia, much less the world. While he completely failed to modernize China's economy (only capitalism could do that), he did manage to subjugate the entire population through torture, murder, mass famines, executions and thought control.

It is good to bear in mind that the fundamental party structures and goals put in place by Mao are still in place, the same old guard is still in power (or the successors thereof), and therefore we are safe to assume that Mao's goals are still those of the party.

Only this group is smarter than Mao and knows how to manipulate the new global economy to its advantage. China now has a growing blue water navy, something Mao aspired to but failed to achieve. They have ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons.

To fall into the foolish thinking of previous "old China hands", who spoke admiringly and benevolently of the aims of a modern China, is to whistle past the graveyard. Until the Chinese government denounces Mao and severs itself from his unholy past, the world must regard the Chinese with caution and even fear.

Mao Tse Tung -- leftwing monster



Mao Zedong was the leader of the Chinese Communist Party from 1935 until his death in 1976. Chairman Mao, as he became known to generations of admiring Western leftists, is arguably the greatest mass murderer in history, eclipsing even the murderous Joseph Stalin in this regard. Some 70 million Chinese, along with countless Tibetans, Mongolians, Manchus, Koreans, Hmong, Uyghurs, and other nationalities, perished at his hands during his long and brutal reign.

Mao was born into a rich peasant family in a valley called Shaoshan, set in the heartland of China in Hunan province, on 26 December 1893. Hopelessly doted upon by his mother, alienated from his hard-working father, Mao balked at having to dirty his hands with farm work, once even threatening suicide in protest. Instead he successfully insisted that his father send him away to school.[1] He arrived in the provincial capital of Changsha in 1911 at the age of seventeen, turning his back forever on peasant life.

He later claimed that his peasant upbringing had filled him with concern for the plight of poor peasants, but there is no contemporary evidence of this. Indeed, one of his early teachers wrote how Mao had told him that in "his clan … it is easy for them [peasants] to get rich."[2] Mao also maintained that, as a young man, he was moved by the sight of people starving. But he was in Changsha during a famine when, according to a friend of Mao's, the numerous beggars "looked like skeletons wrapped in yellow skin." There is no mention of these unfortunates in Mao's writings of the time.

Instead, as his early journals make clear, Mao admitted no duty towards or responsibility for anyone other than himself. Indeed, he described himself as wu fa wu tian, which literally means "without law and without heaven." As he wrote, "I do not agree with the view that to be moral, the motive of one's actions has to be benefiting others. Morality does not have to be defined in relation to others … People like me want to … satisfy our hearts to the full, and in doing so we automatically have the most valuable moral codes. Of course there are people and objects in the world, but they are all there only for me. … People like me only have a duty to ourselves; we have no duty to other people."[3]

He considered himself to be a "Great Hero," and argued that, for this elite group, absolute selfishness and irresponsibility was the rule: "Everything outside their nature, such as restrictions and constraints, must be swept away by the great strength in their nature. … When Great Heroes give full play to their impulses, they are magnificently powerful, stormy and invincible. Their power is like … a sex maniac in heat and prowling for a lover … there is no way to stop them."
