re: Why is Mao’s Great Leap Forward seen as a failure

How many people died for capitalism again?

None is the answer. Nobody has died for capitalism. That’s your fallacy, your absolute misunderstanding and lack of knowledge. Soldiers of the western democracies died FIGHTING communism, oppression, or your dictator du jour. Stalin HIMSELF killed 30 million of his OWN citizens during his purge.

Nobody died for capitalism because it frees people and provides the best standard of living ever known to man.

I feel for you because you are so misinformed. Whatever book you read 10 pages of is wrong and has filled you with lies. Your lack of knowledge really is dangerous. Please educate yourself. Ask somebody older and wiser to have a chat. Better yet, go to Miami and talk to a Cuban refugee and see what they have to say.

Or I could introduce you to a friend of mine and he can tell you about the wonderful time that Maduro’s regime evicted his family from their house at the point of a tank barrel.
