Why does he have such a good reputation compared to Stalin?

Why does he have such a good reputation compared to Stalin?

Because he was the ""leader"" of a country that has a majorly illiterate population and somebody 40 years ago said he was neat and so it must be.

During the Cold War he seen (and promoted himself) as a maverick, a viable alternative to the grey Soviet system. That and the fact that he's the founding father of a country of 1 billion.

1.He wasn't publicly attacked and denounced by his successors. (the CCP learned from the Russians.)
2. Genuinely a more charismatic figure than JS

Even if his rule oversaw similar calamity to Stalin's regime, his personal character is not seen as malevolent as Stalin's

defeated fascism, dragged a nation out of feudalism, brought education and healthcare to tens of millions, set the stage for modern, globalized china.

perhaps the greatest humanitarian feat of the 20th century

No one gives a shit about Asia.

...

His massive fuck ups only came after legitimately great achievements. He lead the CCP from a desperately weak position to defeat the much stronger and better equipped GMD in a manner that was so decisive it was truly humiliating. He accomplished the dream of every Chinese revolutionary for nearly a century and was able to successfully enact land reform that brought the peasants out of feudalism. His early efforts of collectivized farming were also impressively successes. It was only after that things began to go off the rails. If Mao had died in the mid 50s he would have been one of the greatest leaders of the 20th century.

less murrikan propaganda against him

Amazing track record. The Long March is top tier military greatness.

His older years he went full retard and since his system hadn't developed checks and balances it went haywire and killed millions. But massive famines and repression were common in China before and that was the last time they happened. His legacy is a China that dominates world affairs.

Stalin would be regarded differently if Russia had kept on it's trajectory

go back to /pol/, you're not ready for big boy boards yet

>implying all unironic communists arent 16 year olds

Nope. Stalin was denounced in 50's.

But he doesn't.

then explain this

...

>ITS NOT REEEEEEEEEEEEAL COMMUNISM
is this what you're arguing?

Nothing says communism like villagers working in Nike and Apple sweatshops at gunpoint.

He never killed human beings.

because the worst aspects of his rule were retarded mistakes and not deliberate malice like Stalin and Lenin

>what is the lushan conference

Because the Soviet Union fell but the People's Republic is still around, so the current government can't criticize him too much without damaging their own legitimacy.

Nice one comrade, here is your mango

Because leftist academics echoing communist propaganda from the USSR would agree that Stalin was bad because Krushchev said so. That's why they still idolize Lenin even though he was responsible for a famine that killed millions just like Stalin

I dont know but he shouldnt. He was the worst leader in the last 500 years

Are you implying that in the way that you understand communism McDonald stores are something compatible with it?

because the PRC rehabilitated his image and blamed most of his excesses on his subordinates. Meanwhile the USSR condemned Stalin after his death.

On what fucking planet does Mao have a good reputation?

Because China was in a better state after him than before him

Because the deaths under his rule can arguably be put down to gross incompetence and not evil genocide. Whatever the reality is, because this debate exists it means there are many who will view him positively.

The same can't be said for Stalin as it's widely accepted that he was a megacunt.

He's a communist ironically

hmmm

I bet they don't miss the bread lines.

>>>/leftypol/

>dragged a nation out of Feudalism

China had been a Republic decades prior, what the fuck are you on about?

I dont think you understand what Feudalism or Republic means.

I don't think you understand what socialism is either.

>the deaths under his rule can arguably be put down to gross incompetence and not evil genocide
the great leap forward and great famine can be put down to gross incompetence, but the cultural revolution was just pure evil

...

Because you're a stupid american or captured by american globalism

>maoism is not internationalist.

...

Literally an anti-Imperialism poster aka generic gommunism, not a Maoism poster

>set the stage for modern, globalized china.
You are like a little baby, watch this

>chinese internationalism is american globalism

>You see comrade, when we spread our ideology to spread the revolution in the world is not imperialism, imperialism is for the bourgeois.

There are/was many maoists groups who declare the contrary

Stalin's domestic shittiness was compounded with foreign shittiness, really alienating his foreign partners. Mao was certainly worse domestically, but as a foreign backer Mao's China was seen as more reliable. The worst they would do is just not help you and say "don't worry, we did it without help, you got this."
And then of course after his fall from grace the party danced around the issue of him being shitty with the 70% good judgement.

I don't fucking care about your anti-gommie crusade, man. Chinks are not comming here for anything that isn't setting cheap bars. American cultural imperialism on the other side is everywhere. It's not that I deny chinese/communist/whatever imperialism but that it's a non-issue to me.

Easy man, I understood, you hate america, its ok. there exist many people like you who share the same point of view. I don't care either
