Thomas_MoreParticipant
I know. He was also called the Butcher of the Ukraine.
Thomas_MoreParticipantConfucius lived when China was actually feudal, in the Chou dynasty.
Feudalism ended with Chin Shih Huang’s conquest of the feudal kingdoms in the third century B.C.E.
Confucius was hated by the tyrant Chin, and the first emperor’s book-burnings were emulated by Mao in the 20th century.China’s imperial mode of production was consolidated under the Han, in our Roman times. Confucius’ writings were deemed useful by then, and adopted by the throne. But he himself had lived in the past feudal society.

Thomas_MoreParticipantWhich would absolve Trotsky from being the wilful distorter that the others were, were he not a killer of workers.
Thomas_MoreParticipantI wouldn’t insult Confucius, in spite of his feudal ideas, by comparing him with Mao.

Thomas_MoreParticipantProof of Mao’s derangement, or just plain cynical contempt.
During the famine his policies had engineered, he launched this slogan, to be shouted through loudspeakers, printed, daubed on walls, and repeated vocally:
“CAPABLE WOMEN CAN MAKE A MEAL WITHOUT FOOD!”
Accepted death toll from the famine is 30 million.

Thomas_MoreParticipantWez, it wasn’t “lefty liberal types” I was thinking of, but the “hard left”, who call themselves Marxists. Of course, labourism has also distorted the word ‘socialism’ to mean nationalisation, but the hard left are worse than that by supporting red fascist totalitarianism.
Thomas_MoreParticipantThat’s true about the Japanese militarists. They said the war was a fight for the freedom of Asians.
And the Nazis too presented themselves as anti-capitalist.

Thomas_MoreParticipantMao’s most prominent Torquemada was Kang Sheng. There were many answerable to him, and he was answerable to Mao, who, like Hitler and Stalin, loved to play his underlings against each other.
Mao despised his own origins, the peasants, and he despised the workers. He feared anyone educated.
We in the west were never told of the misery the CPC inflicted right from the beginning of Mao’s ascendancy, back in the 1930s and 40s in Yenan, and through the 1950s – and all before the so-called Cultural Revolution of the 60s, which most of us assume was the start. The population was not passive, in spite of Mao’s propaganda machine, which insisted that everyone smile all the time, even while starving to death. There were open rebellions and calls for Mao’s arrest.
Thomas_MoreParticipantSo you’d support North Korea killing you?
Get out of that one.
Thomas_MoreParticipantTS, why not Pol Pot? He had the full support of the CPC.
It was Mao’s hatchet man, Kang Sheng, who persuaded the CPC to back Pol Pot over Sihanouk, and China financed the Pol Pot regime.

Thomas_MoreParticipantYes, TS supports the Kims, Stalin, Mao, Mugabe, Gaddafi, and logically he must also support Pol Pot.
Thomas_MoreParticipantYes, Robbo. TS identifies with states, not with people!
“This will spell the end of the world. If it happens better quit your job and spend all your money quicksmart. Neither will be of use any longer.”
And this shows he even relishes the thought!
And following his nationalist ‘logic’, we should all be gung-ho for “our” flags and govts too! Otherwise, we’re “cowards.”

Thomas_MoreParticipantWez, far from being sympathetic to us, it’s the Left who are responsible for damaging the word SOCIALISM so much that it’s well-nigh unusable.
Think how easier life would be if we didn’t always have to begin with saying what we are NOT, and could just say straight-off what we ARE. But as soon as “Socialism” is mentioned, we’re fighting a rearguard action. -
