We were watching last night, China’s massive display of the Communist Party’s reign for 60 years. Mao took control on 1 October 1949. He then subjected the country to a systematic annihilation of personal or individual thoughts, freedom and well being and elevated the Communist Party’s interest above the people’s and his own interests above all else. He murdered, tortured and incarcerated without trial, millions. He stands with Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot and such other ogres as mass murderers while holding the reins of government. The Communist Party of China has done a great job in whitewashing history so that its young people remembers next to nothing of the dark past prior to the current economic boom which began probably in the mid to late eighties. It was hell before that.

Things aren’t exactly rosy now either. Millions more suffer “for the good of the nation”…
