Can someone please link me some decent sources on Mao? (Specifically around who and how many were killed). Wiki uses vague terms like "intellectuals", but I'm p sure they weren't using IQ tests as a basis for execution...

Hey com. I don't have anything specific to "intellectuals being killed" it sounds like Black book of Communism trash though.
The long since debunked 100 million deaths of communism. This is so fallacious that even Chomsky debunked this and showed if you applied the Black Book of Communisms methodology to India you get 100 million indian dead in just 20 years. So the "criminal" indictment of communism as a failed system which is beyond the pale throughout the entire 20th century produced 100 million deaths in 70 years in multiplie countries whilst the liberal democratic capitalist country of India produced this figure in just 20 years
-Chomsky, http://www.spectrezine.org/global/chomsky.html
Stéphane Courtois (the author of the Black Book Of Communism) was described by his co-authors as being "obsessed" with reaching the 100 million figure, including things like car accidents and deaths from old age and even Nazis and their collaborators if you can believe it. All of the co-authors of the Black Book of Communism have since distanced themselves from it

Whilst I'm sure there was excesses in the cultural revolution this is nothing compared to India (even if you combine every communist country combined and compare them all against India) a fully capitalist liberal, parliamentary "democracy". Wikipedia and especially English wikipedia is just anticommunist nonsense to prop up bourgeois thought and ideology to reproduce class society.
