Many like to watch movies or read fiction novels as a way to relax and get away from work and other stresses of day-to-day life. I, on the other hand, find non-fiction to be much more interesting than almost anything dreamed up by a fiction writer. So, when I want to relax and get away from things I like to read and watch non-fiction books and documentaries.

Given what is going on in China lately I have been nearly obsessed learning about China’s history. It is easily one of the most interesting cultures on Earth with thousands of years of dynasties, warlords, communism, capitalism, wars and atrocities.

Of all the atrocities the worst, by far, was committed during Mao’s Communist China revolution and the typically Orwellian named, “The Great Leap Forward”.

That leap eventually ended up with the deaths and starvation of somewhere between 20 and 45 million people. Despite this devastation, American oligarch David Rockefeller said this of the period: “Whatever the price of the Chinese revolution, it has obviously succeeded not only in producing more efficient and dedicated administration, but also in fostering high morale and community of purpose. The social experiment in China under Chairman Mao’s leadership is one of the most important and successful in human history.”

As I watched a recent documentary on this period it struck me how eerily similar the early years of Mao, leading to those deaths, were to today’s USA and Obama.

THE SIMILARITIES

Hope and Change. As with Obama, Mao was swept into power under great fanfare as a savior by a society of people who had been so impoverished and wartorn to put their faith in this man with his ideas. As with Obama the first few years didn’t go too terribly giving some people hope. But, soon after taking power, in 1950, he quickly got China involved in the Korean War.
