In 2009 the Communications Director said that Mao Zedong, the communist murderer, is one of the major "philosophers" she turns to for guidance. Other progressives in the administration also have the same high opinion of Zedong and his works.
What are the the lessons to be learned, what guidance is achieved on governing? Perhaps we can gain insight by looking at this communist leader and his relationship to the people of his land.
In the Chinese civil war Zedong was losing. Zedong turned the massive peasantry away from the non-communist party with the promise of land "reform". When Zedong is the leader the farmers will take the land from the rich landlords. This persuasion gave Zedong an added army of over five million, overwhelming the opposition and putting the communist party in total control of the country.
Zedong finally had the power. Promises were forgotten. The communist government took the land. The farmers got a country full of tyrants.

About Me
- read and consider
- Well, you probably want to know what to expect here. As a follower of the first president, George Washington, I want to put forth articles that will inspire additional thought, so you can enjoy what you already know, your beliefs in the Constitution and the country. I try to write on subjects that have been missed in all the other information sources, of course mixing in some sarcasm and humor. Enjoy the freedom.
