      Fake history, Kim Il-Sung was his own man fighting for the national liberation of his fatherland and not a "Stalinist Puppet" that was marionetted around into starting the Korean War.

      Much like the American South loves to lie about the North starting the war, the Korean South also is quite fond of doing so as well.

      as well as the independence of (Outer) Mongolia to reduce the vast length of border with China.

      I'm going to assume you mean (Inner) Mongolia. The Mongolian People's Republic had its independence for a few decades at that point as an ally against both the nazis and the Japanese Imperialists.

      No comment on anything else as this periods outside of my zones of study, although I would like to read more from comrade Liu Shaoqi on the section you mentioned him, as he would have a much more respectfully nuanced statement on the issue of the time in contrast to what was written here.

          insofar as I've read, the yalta agreement, the 1945 agreement, the 1950 agreement, and Liu Shaoqi's quote all seem to be quite reasonable statements, agreements, and events in relation to their historical time periods. Like unless what you wrote above was directly quoting the description from the T.V series, I think it's rather uncalled for and very biased - as amusing as it is to hear about Mao locking himself in his room to fake an international crisis.

    the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry
