Mao didn't kill 70+ million people. These lists always include stuff like the Great Chinese Famine which killed about 40 million (that's America's estimate, China's was 16.5) and are highly inflated. Millions died in the Chinese Civil War and Sino Japanese war, various other wars and famime. People leave out that Life expectancy increased from 35 in 1949 to 65 in the 1970s when Mao's rule came to an end.
Did Mao have people killed? Absolutely. But nothing remotely close to this. Mao always had the support of the peasants. If he killed 40+ million peasants they obviously would have blamed him, but of course they never did and always supposed him.Last edited by ИATAS; 03-11-2014, 11:35 PM.

Mao was responsible for enacting social and economic policies that were destructive. The Great Chinese Famine was triggered by Mao's Great Leap Forward. It may not have been his intention to cause the famine but he was responsible for it due to his horrible economic planning and misunderstanding of the chinese peasants
Yea the peasantry supported him because he broke the system that was basically enslaving them and gave them land, but them decimated them thru his policies and then kept them obedient thru propaganda, terror and an iron fist.
Kim jong um has the "support'' of his people as well
