It’s interesting that Mao studied Soviet Books and Stalinism as a model for how he was going to rule.  My question for Mao would be when everything he tried to do backfired and he was constantly running into new problems did he  ever think he should not be so stubborn, but try something else? My question for those that followed Mao blindly would  be why did you worship him like a God when he led you in the wrong direction so many times? I could never  imagine living under a government where we are essentially praying to the president and worshipping everything he says or does. It seems like  it is essentially brainwashing a whole population.

It is puzzling that Mao could find bad in a stable country that is developing economically,   that is secure, and that  is working to improve  the standard of living. These are all things that most countries strive for and that China is striving for  now for  the most part. The second  he passed away is when things started to become more relaxed and market economy started to form. It is fascinating how impactful the leadership of the country is on its economy.
