@Whatis7777777 I find it morally disturbing that you justify the deaths of approximately 30 million Chinese civilians during Mao's Great Leap Forward by comparing them with casualties of war. Human lives are not figures on a balance sheet, nor does one tragedy absolve responsibility for another
@Whatis7777777 There is a fundamental difference between soldiers dying in a war and millions of civilians dying under the policies of their own government.
@Sadik0707 This is not merely a false historical comparison; it is a moral distortion.
American Civil War was fought between opposing armies. Mao's Great Leap Forward was not a war but a peacetime political campaign that resulted in the deaths of approximately 30 million Chinese civilians.
@Sadik0707 A more appropriate comparison would be between the American Civil War and China's Warring States period, both involving struggles for political authority and unification. However, the American Civil War also carried a profound moral dimension: the abolition of slavery.
@french_report78 They look like a bunch of privileged kids who have never done a hard day's graft in their lives.
I'd arrest them, drop them in the middle of Afghanistan, and let the Taliban deal with them.
@french_report78 They claim to be far left, yet their attacks on Chinese businesses appear racially motivated.
Their actions resemble those of fascists
@ahmednafeesaa I don’t care who you are. If you are responsible for the deaths of millions of your own people, you are a mass murderer. Those who continue to defend such atrocities are blinded by ideology, trapped in denial and wilfully ignorant
@ahmednafeesaa What was truly insane was Mao’s Great Leap Forward, the catastrophic famine that killed an estimated 30 million people, and the Red Guards’ brutality, violence, public persecution and humiliation of innocent people during the Cultural Revolution.
