Re: Anita Dunn and Mao Zedong
While Dunn's unabashed affection for the most execrable mass-murderer in history is shocking, the Maoists in Obama's attic are not a new story” just a story obstinately ignored by the mainstream media.
and...
In fact, as a real philosopher, the late, great Leszek Kolakowski, understood, Mao's real achievement was as one of the greatest, if not the very greatest, manipulator of large masses of human beings in the twentieth century. His violent peasant revolution mouthed Marxist slogans, but at its core was less Marxist than a particularly rebarbative form of anarchic and anti-intellectual tyranny.
The obfuscation of Western admirers of Chinese Communism, Kolakowski observes toward the end of his magnum opus, Main Currents of Marxism, "is scarcely believable."
