>>Mao was obviously better than Hitler

Who slaughtered more people in the name of his ideal?

But never mind... beyond a certain point of destruction of life and property, is it safe to say that a ruler is simply calamitous, a nightmare made real?

BTW, Realmulan might remember her hero's words:

"Communists must listen attentively to the views of people outside the Party and let them have their say. If what they say is right, we ought to welcome it, and we should learn from their strong points; if it is wrong, we should let them finish what they are saying and then patiently explain things to them."
