  5. ​ @lif3andthings763  Manslaughter is bad even if it is in the name of the "greater good". I do not think it is a coincidence that life expectancy grew after various economic powers was handed over to the likes Liu Shaoqi and Deng Xiaoping.

It astounds me that Mao with all the information he has access to was unable to foresee a rise in locusts populations due to the extensive targeting of sparrows.

  26.  @willemvanstaden3292  Why not? You evidently don't like Marx very much, so why not read his works and make counterarguments to them? Why not try to understand why communism is so appealing to so man people? Why would you not try to stop this?
