'''Mao Zedong''', (1893-1976) was the leader of Chinese Communism and a ruthless 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 biggest [[mass murder]]er in history.

Mao was the author of ''[[Quotations from Chairman Mao]],'' published in 1966, informally known as "the little red book." During his lifetime, almost everyone in the [[People's Republic of China]] was expected to have a copy. One of his most well known statements was that "political power grows out of the barrel of a gun".
