Honestly a lot more deserved it over footbinding being absolutely fucking vile but then you'd be at like half the population.

I can't conceive the land not belonging to someone, no.
This is just basically like saying "I do not know anything about history".
The land used to be called "the commons". It was owned by nobody. It was everyone's land.
It was taken over by a system called Enclosure, in which the common land was stolen from the people and "Enclosed" by a small few people who took over.
I have no idea why he has such a following. Is it because he tore the whole system down? Is it because he wrote some essays? China didn't start developing until years after Mao left office.
The average lifespan in China was 33 when Mao launched the revolution. It rose DURING the revolution, during civil war conditions simulteously alongside a literal fascist exterminationist invasion by the Japanese. The life expectancy during this period rose despite war because the communists were improving the conditions of the people immediately.
The life expectancy upon Mao's death was 64. It rose further after his death.
Life expectancy does not rise when people's lives are getting worse. He certainly made some mistakes, but you are making an utterly fatal mistake here by looking at "x number of people died" in isolation instead of looking at it in comparison to what existed before.
And if none of that is enough for you I leave you with this:
It has been estimated that, by the 19th century, 40–50% of all Chinese women may have had bound feet, rising to almost 100% in upper-class Han Chinese women.
The ending of footbinding alone justifies Mao as a positive thing all by itself. Without ever having to discuss literally anything else. It was a horrific practice. There's plenty more to use as justification, but footbinding by itself is singlehandedly enough to justify it all.
Worth noting that the British SDP describe themselves as "communitarians" too, and they suck ass.
and workers' parties
getting offended by it really isn’t helping your case
Holy shit you're actually like "getting offended by transphobia is not a good luck for trans people".
What a tool.
Transphobic clown.
There is literally no "ad hominem" in that entire fucking comment, telling you that you don't know about something (ignorance) is not ad hominem, dickhead. If you're going to do reddit-tier debate-pervert shit to deliberately keep yourself in ignorance of factual information and stop yourself from ever learning anything then at least get your fucking debate-pervert shit correct.
This comment is ad hominem. Loser.
Post was written at 4am. Genuinely not sure what I meant. No challenge can be made to resolution 1718 though because it includes the requirement for the DPRK to stop developing nuclear weapons and icbms, and that's a non-option.
Lol I can see that working.
It's fucking weird though thinking about France being on their Fifth republic over a period since the 1700s and these 6 occurring in.... 60 years.
It is impossible for any normal unpropagandised person to look at this scenario and not see something is up that's worth scrutinising.
Ahh yes 6th. Working from memory in most of my responses and without checking I'm pretty bad at dates and numbers tbh. It's worse with african countries though I am one of the people that mixes up their histories all the time to my great shame. I don't even know why it happens, I don't do it with south american countries.
The general point stands, the stability of their government is directly tied to whether or not they're doing what the americans want. And whenever things aren't going precisely as desired the coups happen incredibly easily. By design.
