Meet the Man Responsible for the Most Deaths in History

Let’s not forget the CCP still holds Mao as a ‘visionary’ and there is a high likelihood if you talk to any regular person in China. They have no idea about ANY of this.

It is really frustrating that the CCP still celebrates this man.

"Arm yourself with knowledge, viewers, so you don't become a weapon of someone with dangerous ideas"

This is one of the most nightmarish stories I've ever heard. No horror movie has ever come close to this depravity.

We always say "never again" until it happens, again and again and again and again.

It shocks me how this man manage to surpass the death toll of WW1 with the Great Leap Forward.

One thing is crystal clear- power corrupts and the more concentrated the power, the deeper the level of corruption.

Had a friend in the 90s he was in his late 60s and he would tell me horrible stories about his childhood and life in China, unbelievable things that were actually true .

He idolized Joseph Stalin, eventually he became a dictator who surpassed Stalin. Everyone who survived his ordeals hated him and his little red book.

My grandmother was a teenager living on a farm with her mother and father during these times in Dongguan (which has been the electronics manufacturer of the world for the past 10 years) in the Guangdong Province. Her father died rather abruptly from inhaling toxic gases while clearing a crude drainage system on the farm and left my grandmother and her mother behind. She says that before her farm was confiscated by the CCP (her mother was actually compensated the equivalent of pennies on the dollar of what the farmland was worth, but they really didn't have a choice in the matter) there would always be 'distant relatives' and strangers that would stay on their farm and freeload because they had nowhere else to go, had no money and were starving. My grandmothers mother was kind hearted and took in these less fortunate people as best as her means could provide. At some point she housed and fed more than 15~20 of them. For many of them it was a sojourn whilst making their way down to Hong Kong which was free from the troubles of China at the time. Many had heard of the prosperity that the British Colony had brought and wanted a piece of the pie. Some years later even my wifes father had swam across the seas to illegally enter Hong Kong when the Government at the time announced they were issuing ID Cards for citizenship. Albeit, his heart still belongs to China as the indoctrination that generation was subject to, to them was really profound. He would often complain to his children "why do all of you not love China?!" and they would retort "if you love China so much what are you doing in Hong Kong?" to which he would become frustrated for having no good answer. I asked my Grandmother once "do you think Mao Zedong is good?" and she enthusiastically answers without a second of hesitation "Yes! Yes, he's wonderful!" and started blurting out the first few phrases of the Chinese national anthem in song. I guess it's why that generation is called the "Lost Generation."

The fact that this genocide is being celebrated and and still happening to this day is just disgusting

Mao and Stalin two monsters that still don’t get the true recognition of total evil

My respect for Infographics channel just skyrocketed! This was so well researched and heartbreaking af. Please don't cave to any pressure to remove it

My grandma was a school teacher and then a principal teaching in China during the cultural revolution. Not a great time to be a teacher, as they targeted intellectuals. She said that once a group of red guards (students who worshipped Mao), pinned her down and shaved her head in public. Craziest part is, she still absolutely worships Mao and the Chinese government. At least she says she does.

Great video, made me understand more real historical events that don't appear in textbooks

My grandmother escaped from China during the famine period because they had no food to eat, sometime just a bowl of rice shared among a family of six once a week, from her memory, that was one of the most horrific time of her life, watching people died of starvation and people killing each other for what little food they have. I think the figure of six million quoted to have died may be well below the true figures.

I had read in a biography that twice, once during the Long March and the other during the general civil war, Mao and his wife had to give their newborn child to some peasants so that they would be able to focus on the war at hand. imagine, at least two families could be the direct descendants of Mao and not even know it.

This was very heavy but it goes to show we cannot forget history as to never repeat such things in our future.

Much respect to all of our Chinese neighbors sharing their own families' horror stories from the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution. May our political extremes in America never be allowed to resort to these tactics.

This is the literal definition of "Die as a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become a villain"
