    The problem is that all these newspaper or writers they only want to say that Mao, Lenin and Stalin are the only dictators but we have an article which shows that all dictators have been friends and allies of the Western Powers. They use them and then they reject them that include Stalin and Hitler. The Bible is also a book used for indoctrination and it is older than Mao red book, and it has been used by many dictators in order to control the minds of the peoples, and the Vatican has signed Concordato with many dictators, and during WWII the Orthodox church made alliances with Stalin. The Catholic church has their own little books known as Cathecismhttps://www.worldsocialism.org/spgb/education/depth-articles/politics-and-conflict/pol-pot-and-his-friends-west

    I think the book, which is focused on their (lack of) literary ability; includes right-wing as well as a left-wing dictators. But then perhaps right wing dictators appeal to the less literate anyway.
