  To gain power of an entire country like China, Mao had to be very intelligent. Him not being informed of the consequences of his policies is highly unlikely. It is dangerous to say that he was ignorant, because it gives you an excuse to absolve him of some of his guilt. You are downplaying how bad he really was. This is not fair. Mao ruled China for 33 years and has caused more destruction in his own country than most rulers (if not all) in recorded history.

  For the imbecile that down-voted me, it is estimated that Mao was responsible for several times as many deaths as Hitler. Estimates range all the way from 40 million to 100 million people.

  You don’t have to be a Nazi to see that ~100 million people dead because of Mao is worse than ~20 millions dead because of Hitler.

  Unless you value Chinese lives less than European lives.

  To be fair, Mao should be in the center.
