[QUOTE="Bushido, post: 411218, member: 5592"] Maybe but you need to remember the spirit in which these policies were conducted. Like what happened in Cambodia, ideology trumped human life. Even if we put aside the Great Leap Forward, millions of Chinese died in Mao's work camps. His regime also tortured and executed millions of "counter-revolutionaries" (basically anyone who Mao wanted dead). Mao's China was a regime of terror and for that he is up there with Stalin, Pot and Hitler. A lot of information is still coming out about Mao that was top secret until recently. This book is on my reading list: [URL]http://www.amazon.com/Mao-Unknown-Story-Jung-Chang/dp/0679746323[/URL] [/QUOTE]
