45th anniversary of Chairman Mao's passing anniversary, Is today's glorious China you like to see?

The Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution were disastrous.

Double edge sword, drastic times call for drastic measures, if Indian could go through the cultural revolution, the last remnants of castes system and superstition will be gone and the country will be well positioned for fast growth and development.
What dragged China's feet for progress for a hundred years was some backward ideas and some unfit and old traditions. Mao wiped them out with an iron fist, women's foot binding, polygamy, drug taking, prostitution, no education for women, child brides.....

Mao, in spite of all his mistakes and miscalculations, a great leader of 20th century, without any doubt. Chinese shall remain ever in dept to him.

I particularly like him for the thorough thrashing, he gave to India in 1962.

30 million died in Sino Japanese War.

China practice a form of communism called 中国特色社会主义 China styled socialism. This ideology is very much similar to confucius ethnic which is why it is ported to China without much side effect. The early Confucian abhor wealth concentration 不患贫，患不均, and are very much wary on the ill effects of capitalist.

Prior emperor is suppose to redistribute wealth. The emperor is suppose to make sure everyone is reasonably well off. Now CPC taken over the role of emperor. China is in essence a Confucius state without the hereditary emperor, under the avatar of communism.

Chairman Mao is what sets China apart from the likes of India, for good. He did what was needed to thrust a feudal society into a modem nation-state, at times brutally. India, in the other hand, fooled by its colonial master and missed the historical timing, forever.

It is worth starting a Maois style civil war in India and bleed off 30 millions in order to salvage Indians. In a few years time after successful, the increase of life expectancy will pay off the death toll.

It won't happen in today's world, and there is no soil in India to come up with a revolutionary figure like Chairman Mao.

Nehru's dream is a lost cause:

" India, constituted
as she is, cannot play a secondary part in the world. She will either
count for a great deal or not count at all. No middle position
attracted me. Nor did I think any intermediate position feasible."

Nehru's dream was fulfilled in 1962.

A thing not only to see the pay, but also to see the harvest.

Chairman Mao is an idealist, idealism and realism will fail when they become too pure.

Chairman Mao’s mistake was because he knew that he did not have enough time to transform China. Now many young people in China start to miss Mao because they saw the brutality of Chinese capitalists today.

People have to use realistic means to achieve idealistic goals. No matter how cruel the capitalists are, capitalists are still needed at this stage. But capitalists cannot be allowed to do whatever they want.
