“[Nationalists in China failed
because] the almost
inexhaustible patience of theChinese people in their misery
[had] ended. They did not
bother to overthrow this
government. There was really
nothing to overthrow. Theysimply ignored it through the
country.” – Secretary of State
Dean Acheson

“For Mao is arguably the greatest mass murderer of theTwentieth Century, perhaps in history. He easily
eclipses his fellow left-wing monsters Pol Pot, Hitler,
and even Stalin in the sheer number of corpses he left inhis wake.
Unlike the Third Reich of Adolf Hitler, the Soviet Union ofJoseph Stalin, and the Democratic Kampuchea of Pol
Pot, the People’s Republic of China of Mao Zedongsurvives to the present day, its ruling party intact, itssystem of government largely unchanged. The myths
and lies that continue to prop up Mao’s image alsobolster the claims of the People’s Republic of China itself
to political legitimacy. The current Communistleadership proudly declares itself to be Mao’s heirs,
maintains his Leninist dictatorship, continues hismilitary build-up, and cherishes his grand ambitions.
The ghost of Monster Mao haunts us still.” – Steven W.Mosher
