    No socialist leader was a mass murderer. All of that was Red Scare Western bourgeoisie propaganda to put socialism in a bad light and discourage workers from joining the revolution and taking away the means of production from the Western Bourgeoisie.

    The bourgeoisie are the real mass murderous. May I remind you all the people American presidents have killed? Also, Hitler was a capitalist.

    Besides:

      Please, go to China, talk to some Chinese. If you like China so much, you need to go visit and learn if it is really that good.

      Countless people died from culture revolution, great leap forward, and the great Chinese famine. Go to China and ask people on the street about them, please.

      If you are too busy to go to China, read about it on Chinese social media, Chinese books:

      • https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/637987822
      • 活着 by 余华, one of the top seller in China depicting life during these times: you can buy it on amazon https://www.amazon.com/%E4%BD%99%E5%8D%8E-%E9%95%BF%E7%AF%87%E5%B0%8F%E8%AF%B4-%E5%A5%97%E8%A3%85%E5%85%B14%E5%86%8C/dp/B018PQGZ2C , it also have the high score of 9.4 on douban, and is the second top rated books of all the books on douban https://book.douban.com/subject/4913064/

      But I still recommend you go just go to China if you love it so much. Immerse yourself in the culture and talk to locals, learn about them.

        Have you gone and asked them? Because last time I checked the majority of Chinese love Mao. They also have positive views on socialism and their socialist government.

          Yes, I spend more than half of my life in China.

          I was taught about culture revolution, the land reform movement, the great leap forward, and the great Chinese famine in Chinese classrooms and by my parents and grandparents who experienced most of them in person.

              Nope, they are not, neither landlord nor even activist. They are victims, normal people struggling to live their lives. Like millions of others that we see in class.

              They are not even the biggest victim, since I am still here. Like I said, countless people died during these time, including successful scientists, journalists, researchers, writers, musicians, athletes, intellectuals, doctors, politicians, generals, people with extraordinary contributions to the country and its people. These are even taught in Chinese classrooms.

        That's really swell. Countless Native Americans also died during the founding of the United States of America. You should come here and ask them about how it was for them oh wait you can't 99% of them are dead
