MAJ Ken Landgren I like the following link in respects to Mao Zedong "Mao Zedong is even greater than Confucius - he can conquer your thoughts and you have no choice but to follow him," proclaims neo-Maoist celebrity Sima Nan, the presenter.
The celebration, which included the late leader's daughter Li Na and Mao's former assistant Zhang Yufeng, was one of many gatherings on the mainland commemorating the 120th anniversary of Mao's birth this Thursday.
A new reverence
Today, reverence for the late leader is on the rise. President Xi Jinping often pays tributes to Mao and looks to him for inspiration to manage the country. Ordinary people, especially from the bottom social strata who have not benefited from the country's economic boom, miss his reign and some even set up shrines at home to worship him. Statues of the great leader continue to be erected across the country with fanfare.

China still dealing with the legacy of Mao Zedong, 120 years after his birth
On the eve of the 120th anniversary of the late leader's birth, many ordinary Chinese long for a return to his era, despite its painful failings

The Legacy of Mao Zedong is Mass Murder
Can you name the greatest mass murderer of the 20th century? No, it wasn’t Hitler or Stalin. It was Mao Zedong.

Mao codified his steps to a successful insurgency:
a. An elite in society will start the insurgency.
b. The leader will recruit cadre.
c. Cadre will recruit foot soldiers through ideology or by violence.
d. They will provide services to communities and control them.
e. The insurgents will use asymmetric warfare against the government.
f . The insurgency will grow to a size to slug it out with government forces.
This can be applied to ISIS, AQ, and the Taliban.
