What the *****? Mao didn’t kill no one. And most of china supported Mao. Why do you think they won over the Taiwainese Gov. with a boat and some bullets. You need to do some research. Mao did a wonderful job. Although some of his decisions like being communist sounds bad, it had to be that way in the beginning with a billion people population. Think about it! Research. Do it!

Mao killed many people. So stupid and ignorant.

Mao did not kill anyone, what you are believing is either American propaganda or rebellion countries against Communist China.

Being spoonfed by Communist propaganda. Keep deluding yourself.

Bull***** my boy. I even went to China myself for a vacation and asked at least a couple of hundreds of people of what they think of Mao Zedong for my own personal curiosity. I’m estimating that at least 92% said he promoted equality among others. The rest of the 8% said he was a bad leader, because they said everybody get’s the same payment even though others work harder. None stated that he was a population murderer. I’m pretty sure that what you’re hearing about the “Great Leap Forward” and all that crap is really American and foreign propaganda.

Only in your delusional world.

Get your facts right.. Mao didnt intentionally kill people.. but his policies of collectivisation and communism wiped out 20+millions of people from different parts of china… Recently Communist party of china released a press report that his policies were stupid…

How about Holdomor in Ukraine? That was intentional, no? Famine is a weapon.

Wung97 strikes again. He is so delusional and clueless.

BS Mao boosted the Chinese population by 750-900 million people. You believe in American and foreign propaganda, yet you don’t have the sense to be skeptical about it. I actually went to China myself for a vacation and asked the people in China what their daily lifestyle was like under Mao’s rule. All replied that he was the greatest prime minister and that they all had a regular lifestyle(Wake up, work, eat, sleep, etc.) You don’t have to believe me, go to China yourself and write a report of what the citizens think under Mao’s rule. Regarding your opinion in present, you would be surprised by the results of the Chinese citizens.

I am one of the biggest Bush-bashers i know, but at least I base my bashing in fact and truth. His administration sucked balls bigtime, there's enough material to use against America for the next 5 presidents. Perhaps he'd be #11.

Angry about Bush still. Bitter are we?

Once again another Moonbat admires a tyrant, go figure

[AmPat]

He's a lying sack of crap, but then again, I could have just said he's a liberal. Nobody is going into China and "Asking a couple hundred Chinese their opinion of Mao." Just another lying liberal making up his "facts" to support his idiocy.

And as if those 92% felt safe enough to give their real opinions. It's like that scene in Airplane 2 when the Russian news reporter was giving the news with a gun to his head:


Same is probably true in China. If you publicly spoke out against Mao, something tells me that this might be your new address:

That was weird. It said Top 10 Most Evil Men and the first picture was an ad for Romney.

Edit: Not an ad for Romney just a picture of Romney with a poll question.

[Odysseus]

These are all pretty nasty characters, with one exception (see below), but I can think of a few worse people.

10. Attila The Hun





8. Ruhollah Khomeini



7. Idi Amin Dada


6. Leopold II of Belgium


5. Pol Pot


4. Vlad Ţepeş


3. Ivan IV of Russia


2. Adolf Hitler


1. Josef Stalin


Bonus: Emperor Hirohito of Japan

Hirohito was a figurehead. It was Hideki Tojo, the Japanese Prime Minister, who set policy during the war years, and he was certainly as evil as anyone on the list. But there are a number of figures who belong in the top ten. Mohammed, for example, or several of his Caliphs (Umar was a particularly nasty piece of work). Tamerlane was another truly evil man, as was Caligula. Mao, in addition to mass murder, was also a serial rapist, according to his biographies (he kept a harem), which is a distinction that also applies to Mohammed. The Turkish Committee of Union and Progress, led by İsmail Enver, Talat Paşa and Cemal Paşa, were the architects of the Armenian Genocide. They all belong on this list.

Religious figures are a dicey proposition. Religious slaughter is easy to find.

[noonwitch]

Stalin is probably the worst-he killed so many because he had a long rule. If Hitler had had as much time to kill people, he would have matched him or more.



It's difficult to come up with a figure for Mao's crimes, since China was very closed to the West until after Mao's death. Just because he looked a little like the images of Buddha doesn't mean he was some kind of nice guy, like Buddha.

[NJCardFan]

The inclusion of Hitler but the omission of Tojo is an interesting one. Hitler's Reich systematically killed 6 million + Jews during WWII. However some estimates have Tojo's Imperial Army killing upwards of 20 million Asian civilians(Chinese, Koreans, Filipinos, etc) and yet they don't get nearly the historical backlash that the Germans get. The 6 week Nanking Massacre saw the death of nearly 300,000 Chinese civilians. Vlad Tepes, on the other hand, seems to be getting a raw deal. He didn't commit wholesale genocide like some on this list. He's no angel for sure but he certainly isn't anywhere near as vicious as Mao or Stalin.

[Odysseus]

Yes, but Mohammed created a religion in order to justify his political slaughter.
