It's been three days since White House communications director Anita Dunn praised Communist dictator Chairman Mao and most of the media has yet to comment on the story. The video is below.
Mao Zedong (or Tse Tung) was the dictator of China for decades; transitioning the once-market economy into one exclusively under central control. Platforms like "The Great Leap Forward" and others were tried again and again. The utter failures of these caused the once-great country to plunge into a several decades-long depression, starving millions. Besides his communist economy, Mao also personally ordered the murder of millions and exercised dictatorial control over the world's largest country. In the end, his policies were believed to have killed between 40 and 80 million people.
For one thing, her example of Mao Tse Tung (who she calls one of her "favorite philosophers") makes no sense. It's a rambling mess; I'm still confused over what her point is.
I don't want to hammer this point too much, but this quote shows an overall problem here in America. A few weeks ago, I participated in a sporting event. At this event, there was a college kid who had a shirt with Josef Stalin on the front. I commented on it and he admitted he didn't understand the shirt: "Wasn't he, like, really bad?"
This student wouldn't have thought twice about wearing a shirt praising Adolf Hitler...and Anita Dunn would never make a quote praising him. We need to get to the point here in America where people understand that Mao Zedong, Josef Stalin and Pol Pot are violent dictatorial murderers who deserve to be in the same league as Hitler. And don't even get me started on Che Guevara.
The ignorance in America over Communism needs to end.
