  1. And an incredible ignorant and ill-informed British MP said that mao was a great leader and ma did more good than harm. How dangerous is not having an education in the modern world. unforgivable ignoramus.

  2. 7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the State; the bringing into cultivation of waste-lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan. 8. Equal liability of all to work. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.

    Communist Manifesto – Chapter 2. Translated: Samuel Moore in cooperation with Frederick Engels, 1888; Proofed: and corrected against 1888 English Edition by Andy Blunden 2004. It was real Communism.

  3. Disgusting. I don't know what's worse, the hunger, the abuse or the bugs! The worst part? The fastest way out of any of it seems to be to lie. Lie lie lie and lie. The genocides the CCP is responsible for are why I will never fully trust its word on anything. I just want the genocides to stop. I want people to be able to live quietly and comfortably without fear of the government breaking them. This sort of thing is why I scowl any time someone says we're made in God's image. Either God is horribly cruel to people who just want to exist peacefully as themselves, or God has no image. And don't you dare pawn any of this off on the devil. The devil is a cop out for what philosophers call the Paradox of Evil. "If God is so benevolent, omniscient and omnipotent, why does he allow evil to exist?" Christian scholars couldn't reconcile this, so they created the Devil.

  4. Goes to show how communist ideology DOES NOT and WILL NOT work in human society. A "workers paradise" is like absolute zero, you can get VERY, VERY close to it, but you will NEVER actually achieve it.

  5. Thanks for talking about this i have been looking into china as their history is fascinating to me their government has always sucked for the people though it seems and none like the ccp have manipulated their story as much in my opinion.

  6. Exposés like this are very important, especially when documenting human rights abuses. But let's also not forget that western countries also rely heavily on exploiting incarcerated populations for their labor. The 13th amendment protections are not extended to incarcerated people. We have far too many examples to point to in America, a country that has far more imprisoned people than China does (not per capita, more people). The current Vice President, Kamala Harris, refused to release inmates in a timely manner after their sentences were carried out because the state of California relies too much on prisoner wildfire fighting labor force. However California is nothing compared to Louisiana and their forced labor on slave plantations! We need to be more diligent in ending forced labor regardless of country!

  7. Laogai never ended, where do you think the cheap Chinese clothes made from Xinjiang cotton came from?

    It’s in every purchase on TEMU and Sheinn when you made those purchases.
