Civilization IV - CHINA - Mao Zedong

[Zukhov1945]

This guy was a loser,n ot certainly a communist, these words don't mix up.

[33guyfawkes]

Mao was the biggest murderer in human history! may he rot in hell for eternity!

[moseatan01]

中國民主的破壞者= =

[AlienBusDriver]

MAO ZEDONG YOUR DISREGARD OF HUMAN LIFE AND OTHER PEOPLE'S FEELINGS WAS QUITE COOL, ALTHOUGH I LIKE EATING TOO MUCH TO TAKE MY ADMIRATION ANY FURTHER.

@revolutionary1948

Beautifully written, Couldn't agree with you more. I'm Chinese, but I think Mao Zedong is the worst thing that has ever happened to China as of late.

[youpon1000]

Stalin and Mao did not even follow the manifesto they were traitors to communism

they were just power hungry individuals that took advantage of the chaos caused by the oppression of the old regimes

My mom recognized this music but she doesn't know the name of the song. I doubted the Shining Path is the real name.

[123killlerz]

ahhhhh i remeber when i was arabia and killed him using only warriors good times...

[revolutionary1948]

The people in China think Mao was a good leader who wanted to develop his country, people in western world think he was a evil, corrupt and criminal dictator... so can you say the chinese are all wrong and we are all right? Every side writes its on history...

[revolutionary1948]

@revolutionary1948 on = own

[youpon1000]

@revolutionary1948 I am a communist and I hate Mao because he split from Marx's ideology and murdered 40 million people

[IceFried]

@youpon1000 So did Lennin... and Stalin... and many other communist leaders...

Actually with them all combined they killed over 360 million... so, yeah... thanks Marx...

[IceFried]

@IceFried *Lenin

[youpon1000]

@IceFried You cant blame Marx for people that even follow his doctrine

[IceFried]

@youpon1000 Yes i can, and i do.

Nothing good came from him, only death and destruction, pain and misery and a lot of other horrible horrible things.

Oh yeah, and if you were "lucky" enough to live in a post-communist country you'd see that first hand.

An ideology where everyone has the same rights and is equal... problem was you didn't have a choice, you were either equal or you were dead and beaten.

@revolutionary1948

Best comment so far.

[wanglius]

@revolutionary1948 Simply because anyone who ever dared challenging the western world should and must be depicted as a devil. This is a must for propaganda, reasonably. The bad guys thus as His Majesty Hirohito who personally started a war that killed 30 million Chinese, and numerous American, British, Netherlander, and Japanese, was depicted as evil as Hitler during the war, and suddenly was changed into as holly as God after the war, because he changed from "their bitch" into "our bitch".

[fluffyzhangfei]

@wanglius

Just like Stalin was portrayed as a devil for working with hitler (funny how we never hear about that much, even in school). then we he joined our side he became "Uncle Joe".

[Drakelx555]

@revolutionary1948 Bravo!

[Nikifuj908]

@revolutionary1948 He ordered people killed (including my great-grandfather). Now I know I'm a little biased, but think ethically— if you were a druglord and you ordered someone killed then you would go to jail. It's just wrong.

[skyhawk431]

@revolutionary1948 Actually, he tried to destroy all Chinese culture and killed millions of his own people. Chinese people aren't allowed to say they dislike him or the government will arrest them. But of course, you probably think Stalin was just misunderstood, and that Communists can never do anything wrong.

[fluffyzhangfei]

@skyhawk431

good thing our (or my, if you arent also american) american leaders have never needlessly cost us large amounts of american lives with stupid, completely useless wars for personal greed. And thank goodness they never did it for any sill reason like "beliefs" or "ideals" like Mao did! And they certainly arent destroying our culture by controlling the media and implementing acts that take away our free speech...You are a biased idiot. good day sir.

[skyhawk431]

@fluffyzhangfei At the start of your comment you ask me if I'm an American (I'm not), but then the rest of your comment assumes I support your leaders. I never said they were any better. How dare you try to assume what I think. What the fuck gave you the idea I support any American leaders. Fuck you.

[fluffyzhangfei]

@skyhawk431

True. But i was actually assuming that you support western leaders or other leaders in general. You have to otherwise you wouldnt condemn Mao, because you would have nothing else to compare him to - in which case youd have to admit he is just as good if not better than all other leaders. And really i didnt care where youre from, i was making the point that no matter where you live the leaders actions are open to personal interpretation. youre mad because youre stupid.

[skyhawk431]

@fluffyzhangfei So just answer me this; do you think that Mao Zedong, despite killing between 49-78 million people (more than Hitler and Stalin combined) and attempting to destroy all traces of Chinese history and culture, he was a good leader?

And no, I don't need to support western leaders to condemn Mao. I can think for myself.

I'll have you know that... HOLY FUCK. I just realised something; we're having an argument on Youtube. We're both fucking idiots!

[ppshchik]

@revolutionary1948 I'm Chinese and Mao was a terrible leader. He was a great guerrilla fighter and revolutionary who overthrew the corrupted Nationalist party. But he's a terrible ruler who caused many deaths through starvation, not to mention that he was corrupted by power and eventually became a dictator.

[Demonsion4th]

What I heard was that when Taiwan imported Civ IV they replaced Mao Zedong with a Tang dynasty emperor... Talk about censorship... XD

[Citylife10]

I'm surprised hardly anybody from China has seen this video :o

[PrimeConsciousness]

It's funny how when a mass murdering maniac "wins" he becomes politically correct. Imagine if Hitler was portrayed as all warm and fuzzy?...LoL! That would be a riot!

[kochkochkoch]

I'm so gonna start a game with Mao and Stalin as my enemies.

[kennercat]

@DeMVanAap WOOOOT I FOUND A FELLOW CIV2ER!

Other Civ2 songs made it in as diplomacy themes too - one of my favorites is "Augustus Rises", which got in as (logically enough) the Roman theme. "Hammurabi's Code" is the Persian theme for some reason.

[TriangleGenix]

I don't know if it's because I'm a tibetan buddhist, but my ears started burning within the first 10 seconds.

[AsterTheGreat]

Communist loser..

[dasmysteryman12]

@AsterTheGreat LOL. Good thing he's no longer in Civ5.

[FireySnipingMedic]

@AsterTheGreat Yeah, Mao Killed More People Then Stalin And Hitler Combined!

[DimiOtaku]

@AsterTheGreat American troll?

[Drakelx555]

@AsterTheGreat STFU

[PAAKWAMEPAA]

Long live the Honorable Chairman Mao!

[dasmysteryman12]

@PAAKWAMEPAA See! Told you there will be... disturbing... side-effects...

[AsterTheGreat]

@dasmysteryman12 I dont get it lol can u explain what side effects

[dasmysteryman12]

@AsterTheGreat Look at PAAKWAMEPAA's comment and you'll see what I mean by "side-effects".

[Drakelx555]

@dasmysteryman12 LONG LIVE THE HONORABLE CHAIRMAN MAO (And no thats not from looking at him)

[AsterTheGreat]

@dasmysteryman12 Still don't get it =[

[kennercat]

@AsterTheGreat The joke is that the "side effects" are a conversion to Maoist Communism.

[Qunlord]

ROFLMAO XD

[shawnchi]

Doesn't look like Mao.. He's not THAT ugly D: lol
