I had heard of Mao’s abuse of small children but not the other stuff.

The KGB and CIA dossiers on him would make fascinating reading I bet.

PBS did a special on the lives of the world's most lethal leaders. Hitler, Pol Pot, Mao, Musselini, and Stalin.

Our current president shares philosophical leanings with all five. All except the trains running on time...........

The Crazed Chairman Mao: “My Boy, Barack!”

It is probably inevitable, with his unhinged attack against China’s economy, countryside and populace, that Chairman Mao Zedong would be compared with Barack Obama. Both men lacked all background or instinct for leadership. Nor did they have any apparent interest in individual human beings. Neither had they any specific training in the areas which they longed to remake the world. But both held the single qualification necessary for a narcissistic belief they could single-handedly change history—an infatuation with Karl Marx’s ideas.
