Ah, but was it a failure in Mao’s mind? That is truly the difference between the conservative God-fearing mind and the leftist God-does-not-exist/I-am-God mind. The former looks in horror at millions of deaths in service to a bankrupt philosophy, the latter shrugs and moves “forward,” unconcerned and untouched by such trivialities as pangs of conscience, which of course are only reactionary vestiges of primitive “religious” misconceptions.
