The Communist takeover in China led to more deaths than any other regime in the history of mankind—estimates are from 49 to 78 million victims. During the period from 1958 to 1962 alone, the supposed “Great Leap Forward,” 45 million people died.All Chinese.
You’re right. All those deaths were at the hands of their fellow citizens. When Bill Ayers (an American communist) was talking about the commie takeover of the United States he spoke of ‘re-education camps’ and millions of Americans being put to death.
Monsters are drawn to communism because it’s so easy to sell to the innocents... innocents who don’t understand how incentives work.
It could happen here too ... so before we get too smug about being superior to the Chinese we need to look at the high percentage of idiots in our own country who buy into this crap...
You might both find this interesting.
