ching chong! dem sparrows must be to blame for food shortages! kill them all!

wtf why is the famine getting worse

and actually he barely qualifies as a Marxist. do you know what the stars in Chinese flag stand for?

a) proletariat
b) peasantry
c) petit bourgeoisie
d) national bourgeoisie

unified under the main star - the party

Maoism literally was class collaborationist, and didn't abolish national bourgeoisie. and they dared to call Khrushchev revisionist 😂 oh my god

I've read about how Communists in China damaged even the oldest and most remotely located temples in China

oh yeah

the loss of culture was immense and arguably irrepairable

Mao never brushed his teeth, because of tigers

they broke museums, paintings, sculptures and burnt books because it's "old thinking"

wel tigurs dun brush der teeth an dey r fine

I've often visited Taiwan and I saw some of that impeccable Chinese art preserved in the National Palace Museum

gives you a taste of what was lost

1970-80 China is the Progressive Utopia

it was an utter failure

and Khrushchev in his memoirs pretty savagely tears it apart as being "idiotic"

why's it idiotic?

oh, for many many reasons but the number one reason is that they had no fucking idea what they were doing

the way they tried to make the great leap happen

was totally unrealistic

it was never going to work

they were blown away in a haze of communistic fervor

@PunishedMuskovy the only other server you share with me is Pispians lol

seriously tho, why's what they did a bad thing??

jus liek how cummunism wil nevr wurk

as if poor quality personal steel melter facilities were going to jumpstart the fucking economy. the Soviet accounts on this were hilarious, you can see them constantly be like "wtf are you guys doing no not like this" 😄

@Punished Elías werent you in traditionalist christian

USSR had state Atheism, China had it's way of enforcing it, getting rid of Old Thinking and Habits right

why's that bad?

what I *do* have to give Mao is the following:

a) doubled the population
b) increased the living expectancy
c) brought education to masses
d) got China nukes
e) got China space program
f) got China satellites

but overall, as a *national program* from the POV of the *public interest,* the Mao era was a failure

because it in the end led to the deaths of millions

in a remarkably quick timeframe

i thought commies were against population rise?

oh no no, not really

he did the one child policy didn't he

abortion was prohibited in most communist countries

including USSR

not in china tho

peoples republic of bulgaria also banned porn

they forced Abortions

they implemented it because they couldn't cope with the population anymore, but that's just bad planning on their part imo

like really abysmal planning
