Democracy now in China! |
The system has reformed since Mao's day, but it is time to admit that communism itself is a failure. Communism should be ended, and replaced with democracy, free speech, and freedom of religion.

The monster Mao may be the greatest mass killer of all time.
Almost nothing has been done in China to come to terms with this democide, and many books about it are still banned.
"The Chinese regime .. shows many signs of instability. The inherent contradiction between its dictatorial rule and its desire for economic growth so preoccupies the Beijing government that it feels compelled to crack down even on non-political semi-religious sects like the Falun Gong. The United States and the West can either make it easier or more difficult for the People's Republic of China to resolve these contradictions. Our policy in this instance
ought to be the latter,
so that we can hasten the day when the conflicting currents of Chinese society prove beyond the capacity of its dictatorial government to manage."
