He created a positive economy in a country filled with failed leaders.

Vargas llosa was going to do the same, fujimori appealed to the masses fear of imperialism and won because of that and then he did the thing he told everyone he wasnt going to do

Mao is what happens when a ruthless, PTSD ridden guerillia leader on Communism actually wins the war through some prank of god
Christian Cooper
Sparrows are enemies of the proletariat, Stalin was assassinated by a Trotskyite Sparrow but Khrushchev the revisionist covered it up
Kevin Price
Mao ate some sort of radish soup while meeting with Soviet foreign minister Mikoyan and hated it so much he spit it all over the table.

Let's be real, it's not like Chiang would have been any better.

at least Zhang didn't have unquestionable authority, he basically had to lobby every one of his decisions with the various generals and power mongers. Mao was a loonie but everyone obeyed his bullshit without second thoughts.
Carter Edwards
>Chiang didn't have unquestionable authority What he had was pretty fucking close, he pretty much had uncontested political power within the Kuomintang, which means even more within the one party state. Although, Chiang might not have fucked up Chinese culture like Mao did, really didn't do any wonders in the long run, christ imagine the shit that was lost during the purge of traditionalism.
Christopher White
Lets just not talk about south America, that place is truly baffling. For example Fidel Castro being an absolute failure when he landed in Cuba and decided to LARP in the mountains until the revolution was already at the tipping point and then paraded himself around with Che at his side acting as if they somehow were the ones winning the conflict when in actuality they sat idly by while people were massacred by the government until the entire country was against it.
Anyways round 2 of the shit that goes on in Latin America: Guatamala edition. So Guatamala had a very blood revolution backed by the U.S government. The indian population was pretty much genocided in the northern section of the country until there were no one left. Generals then divided the land amongst themselves and sold it off to the Americans for a profit to enrich themselves.

Wait till you guys read about the divine mango that Mao was awarded by the Pakistanis.

>at least Zhang didn't have unquestionable authority
His economic policies were interesting, high minimum wage and welfare alongside neoliberalism.

>Born in poverty in Yi County (now Laizhou) in Shandong, Zhang joined a bandit gang in 1911 and rose in power after offering his band's services to the army of Jiangsu's military governor. It's just like my Mount and Blade vidya
