  • Thats My Grandpa...........

    :D

  • @Hellue1 I don't think you can say that when he's dead.

  • Horay for mike rowe!

  • This video is an utter load of crap. Firstly the clips of starving people are from the 1930s and 1940s, before Mao came to power. The fact is there are no non-propaganda images from the GLF which show destitution of the level shown in the pictures of the video. One of the pictures is from Shanghai, just before the communist takeover in 1949. Far from the deadliest ruler of all time, the Maoist system perhaps saved more lives than any other polity in human history.

  • @grtsubutai really are you fucking high or just stupid

  • @grtsubutai He is responsible for the deaths of 35 million Chinese people. Go do your homework faggot.

  • Comment removed

  • This is a typical one-sided documentary clip. If he was such a vaillant as accused, how come hundreds of millions of Chinese have yelled "long live Chairman Mao", and that includes the most intelligent minds in China. Think it through. Although you could blame it on brain-washing, how about go brain-washing a million people and tell me how easy it is?

  • @ForKSapien

    It is very easy to brainwash the masses. The bigger the lie the easier it is for people to believe. Examples

    The "world is flat" was pushed so we didn't spend money on Ships to cross the Atlantic.

    "Global warming" was pushed to help fill the pockets of the rich and politicians while we are at the coldest part of the Quaternary ice age with CO2 levels at near lowest levels in earth's history. Many religiously believe this one even today

  • 毛主席万岁!

  • the strongest went down and the call was concrete

  • the strongest went down and the call was concrete

  • ha ha baCK iN....

  • prolly sent them in and fell back....

  • he was both evil and a hero. Murdered many but at the same time raised China

    Fought in wars, won many with a toll. if it werent for him China would probably still be poor from world war two. then again many innocent people were killed. Many look up to him and many hated him. People that do look up at him have to realize the good that they should respect and the bad so they don't follow in his foot steps

  • no one can please the Americans... let them dwindle in their bull

  • What is the name of the documentary this is from?

  • Who do you people think you are calling him an idiot, he didn't know his population was starving, because of the massive purges and public executions, each party in the hierarchy in china lied about the levels f grain their farms actually produced, and after that a coincidental event where Mao wanted more grain for state use , because the government believed there was more grain than needed for the peasants. The real idiot is Mao Zedong's fourth wife Jiang Qing, she only killed Mao Zedong fast

  • @ThePiCkChEvY

    Your argument could make since if it was a famine that lasted one year. But this went on year after year after year after year

  • Mao is my hero! 

  • HITLER WANTS PAPA ça déglingue§

  • This bastard is not cursed enough! I have been to Hong Kong many times and know that these people deserve better! Stalin and Hitler can also rot in HELL!

  • mao was a hero! free tawian from fascism!

  • @33guyfawkes Fascism? The mainland China is the real fascists...

  • It's what happen when you think too much of going foward without concidering the rest..

  • Hooray for communism!!! 

  • @ComradeMing 1.Mao was never a commander his friends were2.He had U.S. weapons because he got them when the nationalists where defeated

  • mao is perfect

  • Comment removed

  • Tragedy alright....because the US refused to sell food to China. Failed capitalist propaganda

  • its not like China was a stable nation before Mao. I don't think it was stable afterwards.

  • whats so evil about trying to save a population from starvation

  • @boskaflora The means. Mao had the determination of a bull to jump over a cliff without having wings.

  • hey can someone tell me where can i find credible resources about mao zedong

  • ridiculous!

    summing up the great leap forward and great proletarian cultural revolution like that?

    this video misses all the facts!

  • @ComradeMing comrade, mao could of done that all without killing. i'm a communist/socialist myself, but i do not follow mao, just as same i do not follow stalin.

  • mao was biggest fucker of 1/5 of world population

  • Did they drop any good loot?

  • China is not CAPITALISM, it is communism with a market economy!

  • @wung97 China is a capitalist country for sure, as it allows private companies and people to work for their own profit. By just walking on the streets of big cities you can see the huge gap between the rich and poor. The current government is nothing like how Mao intended it to be. It's still a totalitarian regime, but they're getting softer as they don't want the people to turn into an angry crowd. Hence all the great events to create some national pride... but there's still a long way to go.

  • @ComradeMing

    You've got to love that job!

    And please, stay in Singapore for the rest of your life and whip as many people as you like.

    And yes, you are pathetic for just being in a stupid country called Singapore. LOL

  • @ComradeMing Hey do you know they whip people in Singapore?

  • @ComradeMing

    Your stupidity shows in your attributing the growth of the population to Mao.

    I can kill your whole family and then for a couple of years you keep having descendents. In the end there are more peoplo than there were.

    So now be on your knees and worship me, you stupid Chinese pig!

  • The death of people during Great Leap Forward was NOT caused unintentionally by Mao; it was very intentional!

    Jung Chang's "Mao, The Unknown Story" tells the truth: Mao knew very well that people were dying!!

    Can you believe a totalitarian leader didn't know tens of millions of people were dying for 3-4 years???

    Do you REALLY believe that??!!

  • Mao was the biggest BITCH!!!

  • dictator, evil from the hell.

  • pretty soon: united states of china

  • A great man...

  • Mao Mao Mao Mao!  Mao Mao Mao Mao! Mao mix! Mao mix! Please deliver! XP

  • the geat leader ,my hero.

  • 中國萬歲打倒白色惡魔被稱為美國

  • 我不能等到有一天我們偉大的國家採取了美國和我們成為一個更大的­超級大國

  • look at your own shadow government first and than talk about the others

  • Fucking capitalist propaganda. Before the revolution China was an insanely poor country, after the revolution China has been steadily growing and are now on their way to becoming the absolute economical superpower of the world.

  • @Mewfan ummmm do u know the fucking price is??? exactly millions of life!!!! u mother fuken ignorant shit, my dad was in the 60's, u know nothing but shit, america may not be the best country to u (to me its fuken great) mao is shit, do u know that his secretary is still alive, and he say he is just evil, pure evil.

  • @Mewfan thank you everyone thinks communism is evil and destructive..its good people arnt so biased

  • @Mewfan dude.. China is only growing BECAUSE of Capitalisim! how dumb are you?

    what the hell do you think the vist from the USA back in the 70's was all about?

    today China grows because of Capitalist!

  • @Mewfan Actually China's economy began grow the moment China's government took capitalistic semi-liberal direction and began collaborating with USA (Nixon treaties and so on) and became some kinda platform for producing goods for the west market.Mao on the other hand did so much stuff, that harmed China and its people. Not maoism made China prosperous, but capitalistic direction and with it influx of foreign investments. China's officially "communistic" but its real policies are pure capitalism.

  • @Mewfan Yeah, and it only took over 80 million deaths to get there.

  • @Mewfan And I agree with the others, it's capitalism that helped make China strong. If hardline Maoism was still in effect, China would probably be about 25 years behind other prosperous countries.

  • @Mewfan lol this aint about capitalist propaganda idiot. It's about a leader that killed 40 million people for his so call "The Great Leap". A communism economic will not work! USSR failed and so did China. Also I want to point out that China economy is not Communist, if it was China will still be a third world country which many of it's province is, but I don't blame them for the fact that it's pop. is over 1 billion... so 30 million plus souls just up and die and China ignores it.

  • @Mewfan Fucking liberal, you will find a way to justify evil communists dictators somehow huh? Saying it's capitalist propaganda WTF are you smoking?

  • @Mewfan china now is not maoist and not revolutionary, now china is capitalist, the rich get richer and the poor poorer, Mao didnt want china to be like this, yes maybe now china is a superpower but the people are working from 5 years old to earn 1 dollar a day, and thats not communism. From 1949 to 1976 china was communist and not a superpower, now its a superpower but the people are suffering.

  • @Mewfan is this a joke? because of capitalism they are growing. you obviously don't know the history at all. let me inform you, when the nationalist had control of china the private sector and economic system in china was actually well put together even after the war with japan. granted a great deal of chinese were poor from eight years of war and just a great number of people. after mao conquered china the economic system basically collapsed after the fear he put on the ..... continued....

  • @Mewfan people of china and especially those who owned businesses and their own land. I could just go on about how flawed your logic is. look at north korea, do you want to live like that? actually learn a thing or two about communist china before you glorify it.

  • @Mewfan

    the people are still poor, worse off if anything, it just means that there is more super-rich chinese, and btw all of chinas growth is 100% due to capitalism.

  • @403766  Yeah right lets remember the politically correct name is COMMUNIST China!

  • @bethiedrama101

    what, that doesn;t make any sense?

  • @Mewfan from capitlism, gay man

  • @Mewfan

    Its been steadily growing because of their Capitalism side. In other words, They made shit and they sell it to the us you fucking faggot ass commie shit head. I mean have you ever heard the term Made in fucking China?

  • @Mewfan and the millions who mao killed is propaganda too??

  • @Mewfan

    You are aware that China has a strong capitalist economy right?

  • @etopla Well no, China is "officially" a communist country, but a lot of their rules are based off of capitalism and they do use some capitalist ideology in their economy, so really China is kind of a mix. They say they are 100% true communists though, and they do kind of act that way

  • @Mewfan China can only become a superpower if they have a middle class like we do here in the United states. Otherwise they will be behind our GDP.

  • @Mewfan yeah lets forget about the 60 odd million people Mao Zedong massacred, because he got china some money! fucking communist.

  • @Mewfan They are only on the way to becoming an economical superpower because they actually adopted capitalism after Mao. Mao isolated China from the world so other countries couldn't see the 40+ million people starving to death under his regime.

  • @Mewfan But the Great Leap Forward did not have to cost 30 million lives had Mao be willing to let foreign investors into China or prevent people from moving to cities. He also pissed off the Soviets so he pretty much isolated China for a while, resulting poor organization of the population and thus famine.

  • @Mewfan i can lie as well

  • @Mewfan I know Mao saved china he brought democracy he so called kille 70million/1 billion which is like 1/13 of china. He raised an army by hand which became one of the worlds most powerful armies and he librated us.

  • @Mewfan That was Deng Xiaoping's doing not Mao's. Under Mao's rule millions of Chinese were still dying in famines.

  • @Mewfan You're just a Norwegian blabbing about a country you've never lived in, and know nothing about.

    If this came from an actual Chinese person, it would hold more merit.

  • @SuperFantasticFox That's what those Scandinavians do.

    Blabbing on and off about everything they think they have knowledge about. Oh, libertarian retards.

  • @workatthefarm I'm Swedish, just so you know. And we're not libertarian. We're socioliberal.

  • @SuperFantasticFox Scandinavians should be killed for the gayfest libertarian paradise they have sparked upon this world.

  • @workatthefarm Yeah, and obvious trolls should see how obvious they are.

  • @SuperFantasticFox This is the truth, boy.

    And nothing but.

    Why don't you stop being so extremely ignorant and realise your situation?

  • @workatthefarm Because I'm gay and part of the conspiracy. You're my bitch.

  • @SuperFantasticFox You are part of no conspiracy because there is no conspiracy.

    You are my bitch and will remain so.

  • @SuperFantasticFox What makes you believe in conspiracies?

  • @workatthefarm I control your banks. I am a Jewish Homosexual from Libertarian Sweden.

    I'm also a communist and a muslim.

  • @SuperFantasticFox No, you're just a poor Swedish little fairy living on welfare in Scandinavia.

  • @workatthefarm I'm an engineer. Also, you're my wank jar. I squirt semen in you.

  • @SuperFantasticFox Engineering is for faggots.

  • @SuperFantasticFox I am an astronomer.

  • @workatthefarm NIce to meet you. All the astronomers I know are gay, actually.

  • @SuperFantasticFox You don't know any astronomers though,

  • @workatthefarm Whenever you're tired of mindlessly replying to anything I write, feel free to do so. I am God and my penis fucks your mother. The horse fucks you.

  • @Mewfan Dumb Norwegian

  • 台湾万岁!!!

    

  • @greeneggsandparmaham taiwan fuk yah, and my family is from mainland china

  • let's not forget.. the foundation of the United States was built upon Genocide and Ethnic cleansing of the Native Population.. they were more successful in destroying an entire Nation than any other in history...

  • @thehammerhitshard the foundation? Your not incorrect about the genocide (although it was far from the primary intentions of the british settlers) But how can you say the foundation of america is mass murder? far from the truth.. may want to phrase it differently. The start of america came at the cost of 10 to 50 million indians perhaps. Not much better but you get the point. Also, its slightly a grey area considering disease caused a vast majority of deaths (unintentionally..for the most part)

  • @thehammerhitshard shut the fuck dickhead the spannish killed the native population not all europeans

  • @ElassonaG13 so... the butchering of the native population didn't go well into the 1800's as the colonies/states expanded west...? oh, sorry.. I must have misread my history books... you should totally teach a class...

  • @thehammerhitshard You said it. ;-)

  • Fuck you Mao Zedong, you can blow the devil's cock

  • THEYA RHACKA RHISIPHRINE!!!

  • evil from the hell, the cause disasters in China.

  • Alot of chinese people miss the Mao time. He was infact a great leader, just did something wrong. Read about the "Great Leap Forward "

  • hahaha americans lies. Mao zedong didnt killed chinese people they starved to death.He's not the deadliest leader he did'nt order to kill chinese people like hitler or stalin. Idiots.before Mao zedong they were even more deaths of famine because of the nationalisme. Thanks to MaoZeDong today's China is unified. Americans propagandas...

  • Well of course this video doesn't go in to why the people revered him so much. That would require too much critical thought.

    And deaths from poor planning are not something the US can just laugh at China for. Over a million people starved here during the great depression while food was destroyed because it couldn't sell at market prices.

    Facing a firing squad for as a political dissenter might be a brutal way to die but then again so is being incinerated under atomic fire, which the US did

  • It sickens me to the stomach that there are people today that justify the actions of people like Mao, Stalin and Hitler.

  • @Trpr88 Totally agree with you, When i searched some things for school about Mao and Hitler it shocked me so much that there are still people who adore this people and think the things they did were good. Some people are really sick.

  • I dont question that Mao was an inspiration during the revolution, but he should have staid away from politics like the Insane and mentaly disturbed man he was. There are leaders for war and for peace, he was not for peace. That is why Democracy is superior. Winston Chruchil for instance was a great leader during the war but a terrible one in peace, therefore his polital career ended.

  • Mao was a great man and leader. He brought fairness and equal rights.. All the death tolls on the Great Leap Forward, The Cultural Revolution and his whole time in power are exaggerated by the US just to give this illusion that Communism is horrible. Look at China now under a capitalist system, workers are exploited and treated unfairly to the point where they kill themselves in factories. Capitaism is the real killer, fore example the African slave trade killed at least 100 million.

  • @PantherD1943 its all just an exaggeration by the US? really?

  • Okey guys, to makes this CLEAR OF ALL OF YOU, the 40 million deaths was not DURING the revolution, it was AFTER he came to power and he made 40 million chinese STARVE to death in less then 3 YEARS! 1958-61. Again this is AFTER the revolution. So stop defend this piece of HUMAN GARBAGE!

  • When talking about communist revolutions, western historians call the casualties "political dissenters," yet when talking about bourgeois revolutions, those same historians call the casualties "victims of war" or "the cost of war," a blatant form of propaganda. Do we call George Washington a "mass-murderer?" No. Why? 50,000 people died in the American revolution, which was a HUGE ratio of the colonies population. Double-standards are ever present here.

  • Greatest leader of all time, he is called the deadliest because your masters don't want you to be free.

  • I seriously cant belive some pro comments ive read hear, if you read the facts you will find incredible horrible stuff, Mao was a complete moron. That people still swallow Maos propagandan from the 60s is scary.

  • @Trpr88 I'm not a Maoist scholar, but I have read all of his major and most of his minor works from 1920 up until his death, and he has been routinely opposed to taking violent measures against people. His favorite anology, which he used over and over again, is that when you want to cure an illness you never attack the patient, but you attack the infection. He never approved of violence, but it is inevitable in the middle of a revolution. A revolution is not a dinner party.

  • @SamualTLedbetter I really dont belive you have read much about Mao, atleast not after he came to power, His policies to make China progressive was the casue of the 40 million chinese were starved to death, and there are evidence that he knew the what was going on all along because he said, I qoute: It is better to let the first half die so that the other half can eat. He was there for fully prepared to let half of the Chinese population die for his casue. Hence he was a monster.

  • @Trpr88 There is no evidence that he knew what was going on. This is proven by the fact that he cut his policies off shorter than planned when the veil of secrecy surrounding him that was propped up by those under him was removed. That quote you cited in no way or supports your claims, it was simply a reflection on conditions, not some exposure of a sick policy to murder millions. Is it not true that it's better that a portion of a population dies rather than the whole population?

  • @SamualTLedbetter How about you read up on the policies he implemented before gloryfiyng an insane man, all those deaths were the casuse of his policies, not something that would inevitable happen.

  • @Trpr88 I have, and your claim is obviously bigoted, biased, and detached from reality. Do not speak on subjects that you have no thoroughly investigated. the inevitable result will be the speaker spewing a bunch of worthless garbage that jumbles what would otherwise be a good debate and slows down true progress.

  • @SamualTLedbetter If you have such compelling arguments why dont you thrown them at me insted of slandering me like a loser. For the record there is no debate whether Mao was the casue of the deaths, thats a fact.

  • @Trpr88 If you actually studied Mao and his time in power you would know this as true also, but instead you speak on subjects when you let 2 minute video clips hosted by the History network form your opinion on those subjects.

  • Comment removed

  • COMMUNISM is the WORST DISASTER the world has ever seen, far greater CRUELTY than what HITLER inflicted with the NAZI party....and it continues today. It amazes me how BLIND people are, ones that LIVE right here in the USA, many of these LOONIES still believe in COMMUNISM

  • ☭

  • Thats Mike Rowe, right?

  • @TJPinoy well that's because he was a mass murderer, worse than hitler, and was a dictator. No need to remember anything else.

  • oh hey mike rowe!

  • @satv365 Lol moron.

  • @satv365 Well I guess people learn from their mistakes :)

  • @satv365 People don't die for a reason they don't believe in :)

  • Mao did totally rock!!! Do not stop it of the MISINFORMACION. Is a TRUE leader of the People of China!! Live glorios glorios Comrade Mao and proud Republic of China!! We FULL support you!! Together with our China brothers in arms the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuelas noble Bolivarian Proletariat will fight against facism imperialism captalism and world oligarchy!! Live Dictatorship of the Proletariat!! Go Comander Chavez!!!

  • Mao saved china from a bunch of power hungry warlords. Most of the people who died under Mao died because of massive crop failures.

  • Mao, just like Stalin, has had his history spun by the capitalist media to make him look like an inhuman monster, when in fact, he liberated the people of China and did a lot of good for the economy. People always fall victim during a revolution, it is in it's very nature. Some mistakes were made, yes, but they were mistakes in which Mao fully acknowledged, and in fact, most of these mistakes attributed to Mao were historically totally disconnected from him.

  • Is it "the brutal effects of power", or is it the psychopaths born that way who gravitate ruthlessly into positions of absolute power?

  • Many footages are actually from the era before Mao took over.

  • See how poor those Chinese were? wearing Japanese left behind uniforms and brandishing their guns! All thanks to Kissinger, now they wanted American legs and arms....a total disgrace in U.S. history!

  • @hugacarass

    China on Thursday announced that it had made illegal the use of Skype, the popular internet telephony service, Websites such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube are already blocked in China

    Hopefully Venezuela soon also censors the internet

    we wont miss you

  • Mao is certainly the savior of of freedom human right and socialism in China and the fight against facist capitalism. Also is important to remember he is our inspiracion for many revolusions in Latinoamerica like in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela world capital of Maoism!!!! Long live glorios Chairman Mao memory!!! Long live Comander Chavez!!!

  • LMao Zedong 

  • I don't know about Hitler, but stalin's murders estimates from 20m - 40m.

    I'm not sure Mao's deaths is greater than theirs combined though, but it was definitly very high.

    ASTF.tk

  • @EpicAthiest Hitler killed aorund 5 million Jews. 

  • @Helsinkisillest

    that's it? How about the combined deaths of civilians due to the SS/SA?

  • @EpicAthiest Well the 'official' figure stands at around 11 million people, and that counts for a lot of what Hitler had the SS/SA killed. This includes homosexuals, blacks, Jews, Soviet prisoners of war, any political opposition against the Nazi party. The list goes on.

  • @Helsinkisillest The offical figure is always moving.

    First it was 8 millions Jews, then, presto! 7 million jews... and now they've settled on 6 million jews.#

    Don't believe government figures.

  • @Olamtir Strange.. I saw old books the 1940`s and they said 6 millions...

    Dont believe in paranoids who deny facts in name of hatred against government: they serve more criminal causes than freedom (governments who hate jews love them...)

  • 1948年中國共產黨員董存瑞,在國共爭戰中為炸碉堡犧牲,年僅­19歲,被當作是中共英雄,

    有關部門接他的老媽媽進京作報告。董存瑞的老媽媽,一輩子都是個­普通農婦,不敢去。有關部門就跟她說「不要怕,你上台後就講 3 句話:

    董存瑞是我的好兒子,董存瑞是毛主席的好兒子,董存瑞是中國人民­的好兒子。」

    老媽媽進京一上台,看見毛主席就坐在第一排,緊張了,一張口就說­成:「董存瑞是我和毛主席的兒子。 」

    全場鴉雀無聲,都給雷電死了。

    毛主席楞了半天,扭頭小聲問 周恩來:「恩來呀,咱們長征時到過她們村子嗎? 」

  • What can you expect from godless leaders?

    Only death, miseries And disasters!
