Icon of some looney leftists causing the death of as many as 100 million from the mid 1930's until his death in the 1970's. Starvation, gulags political repression were his cornerstones. He gets support from some liberals for saying nice things about women, govt ownership of industry and health care. Played the western left for fools including some on this board. Mao was just a sociopathic mass murderer.
