Mao Zedong became Chairman of the newly created People’s Republic of China on October 1, 1949. There was joy, ecstasy, rejoicing, and dancing in the streets as millions upon millions of happy Chinese people shed countless tears of bliss, thinking this man would bring them a golden age of happiness, freedom, and prosperity. What a jubilant event in the history of China.

Or, so countless people thought at the time.

They never saw what was really coming.

Mao Zedong was the supreme mass murderer in human history. In his 27 years as Chairman of the socialist/communist regime in China, he was estimated to have killed between 60-70 million innocent people in his terrors, the “Great Leap Forward,” “Cultural Revolution,” and other oppressive, torturous atrocities. In 1949, the Chinese people never saw the death that was coming in the next 27 years.

The people of Russia suffered the same fate. Vladimir Lenin began the Russian Revolution in 1917, and after a bloody civil war, the Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics was founded. Lenin, after murdering countless numbers, died at a relatively young age, and Joseph Stalin soon became dictator (and killed nearly all of Lenin’s compadres who helped start, found, and build the revolution). In his 25 or more years of despotism, Stalin made it to number two as the greatest mass murderer in history. His total may have reached over 50 million innocent deaths. Nobody will ever know for sure how many people Mao and Stalin really killed. All in the name of “socialism,” Marxism, atheism, “utopia.”

When Lenin came to power, the people in Russia who supported socialism had no idea what was........
