Changes

Imagine Chairman Mao deciding that the way "forward" was to kill all the birds, since they were affecting crop yields.  For three days the entire nation was out in the streets, climing trees, destroying bird eggs, beating pans until birds would literally fall from the sky exhuasted.  Three days.  Then imagine the next year, when the locusts came, with no natural enemies left.  Famine.  Starvation.  Some people in remote areas actually traded their infants with other families, to eat, horror of horrors, the infants.

This is where communism leads.  These events happened, and are documented by Chinese historians and authors.  Millions died.  After I locate my references, I will rewrite this article so that it tells the true horror and scope of Chairman Mao's shenanigans.

Now, in present day China, the Communist party is still the only party.  They are totalitarian--they do not allow freedom of religion, for example, and force women to have abortions if they did not first get a license before getting pregnent (this actually happens; even married couples who have not children are forced to abort their baby if they did not first obtain a license to procreate).  China is communist in name only, and in many ways their economy is more capitalistic than ours; but the Chinese government is still an evil empire.  [[User:HeartOfGold|HeartOfGold]] 21:00, 14 May 2007 (EDT)
