At one time, millions of people all around the world admired Chairman Mao. At the time of the Cultural Revolution (1967-68), students in dozens of countries held demonstrations in support of Mao, each one waving a Little Red Book, each one chanting Mao's slogans.

Those days are long past. Now, the world knows something of the truth about Mao. Now, I only find little groups of Mao admirers in China itself: Han people who still admire him because (they think) he was a great Marxist leader who gave back to China its rightful place in the world, kicking out the paper tigers from Imperialist and Colonialist powers.

They are entitled to their opinions. But they are hopelessly misled.

Mao was a monster. He was personally responsible for over 70 million deaths in peacetime, mostly the deaths of his own people. That is a record that I hope will never be beaten.

It is difficult for me to find any good thing to say about this opportunistic, selfish, sadistic butcher. So I won't try.

If you refuse to believe me (and 99% of the rest of the world), read Jung Chang's "Mao: the unknown story".

And learn the truth about your "hero".

How can anyone admire a butcher, killer, and murderer of thousands of his own people in order to keep in power and to stifle human rights. I can't imagine anyone admiring such a person. He, Stalin, and Hitler stand together as the butchers of all time.

Chow!!
