      Yes they’re upset he insinuated that Mao was a murderer which is funny because I’m not even sure Mao himself would deny being a murderer. He’s Mr power grows out of the barrel of a gun, after all

          Mao was a dictator, what are you talking about? Also, yes he implied Mao was a murderer.

          “Being compared to individuals who murder others, or who have brought misery to millions upon millions of people – well, I don’t think I’ve ever done anything like that in my life,” he said.

              I mean, were a minimum of 700,000 people not executed by the CCP in their campaign to root out counterrevolutionairies? State sanctioned murder is still murder. I’m not even counting things like the Cultural Revolution or the Great Leap Forward with that figure.

                Most of those people deserved it tbh. Similar things will happen in revolutions everywhere. Alot of people just need to be gone. That doesnt mean the leader of revolution murdered them, it was the revolutionary masses.

      Maybe calling the leader that ended chinese humiliation century and ended countless inhumane practices in chinese society “dictator” hurt them.

        Getting some positive things done doesn’t preclude someone from being a dictator.

            That was propaganda under his regime, yes, but it wasn’t actually true. It’d also be ridiculous to say Hitler was a good leader because the Autobahn is a great highway.

          People have their leader who they respect, you might have your opinion but people also have the right to react.

          Also Mao was not a dictator.

            “You are dictatorial.” My dear sirs, you are right, that is just what we are. All the experience the Chinese people have accumulated through several decades teaches us to enforce the people’s democratic dictatorship

            Mao circa 1949 disagrees with you. I never said people aren’t allowed to be offended by Mbappe’s words, I just find it to be pearl clutching when the man himself talked about wielding dictatorial power.

              You’re not proving the idea that Mao believed he was an individual dictator, you’re providing evidence that Mao believed China was a dictatorship of the proletariat and peasantry, ie the proletariat and peasantry jointly controlled and directed China and oppressed classes like capitalists, preventing them from having political power. That’s what the “People’s Democratic Dictatorship” is.

              You will learn alot of new stuff by learning the term Dictatorship of the Proletariat.

                I have read the communist manifesto as well as later writings of Engles and Marx. Mao was still a dictator
