'''Mao Zedong''' (December 26, 1893 – September 9, 1976), also known as '''Mao Tse-tung''', was the leader of the Chinese Communists and a ruthless [[Atheism|atheist]] dictator after he came to power in 1949. While not the founder, he was an early member of the [[Chinese Communist Party]] in 1921.  In 1935, Mao was elected to the Executive Committee of the [[Comintern]] in Moscow and remained on this committee until it was publicly disbanded in 1943.  Mao is regarded as perhaps the most prolific [[mass murder]]er in human history, not even counting the inummerable unborn female babies whom he [[abortion|callously slaughtered]].<ref>[http://www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/20TH.HTM "20th Century Democide"].
