To us Chinese, Mao Zedong is our hero.
Mao uplifted farmers and the working class in China, united the Chinese people, led us to defeat foreign invaders, and founded an independent country so we could all live with dignity.
Mao supported the heroic struggle of the African people against imperialism and colonialism.
He was one of the greatest leaders in world history, and one of the most demonized by the West.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Mao Zedong is under any single social metric a dictator. Not a single popular election, single government party and lifetime leadership. Not even taking into account the millions of deaths under his reign.

NATO bombed Serbian tobacco factories in 1999.
Sounds strange. Why bomb tobacco? Not military targets. Not critical infrastructure. Just factories making cigarettes.
Then Philip Morris showed up. Rebuilt those same facilities. Modernized the equipment. Brought them up to international production standards.
Today you can buy cigarettes made in Serbia under Philip Morris brands in Australia, Europe, everywhere. Serbia became a major exporter.
So let's think about this. NATO bombs the factories. Philip Morris rebuilds them and profits from the production capacity.
Who benefited from that bombing?
Same pattern with Microsoft. Right after the bombing stopped, big Microsoft headquarters opens in Belgrade city center. I remember walking past that building and seeing their logo up there. Didn't take long.
The bombing was illegal under international law. That's not opinion. No UN Security Council approval. Violated the NATO charter itself. But they did it anyway.
Then Western corporations moved in while the rubble was still being cleared.
I lived through it. I watched it happen. And 25 years later I'm still asking the same question: who were they really fighting for?

Candidate 2: "Liar, he is lying! He has not killed NEARLY enough Arabs. He even spares the children!"
Candidate 1: "FALSE! I've killed countless Arab children and I WILL KILL EVEN MORE if you vote for me"

Only 5,000 kids were surveyed, only 92 were Jewish, only 70 of 92 responded, and 29 said they had faced antisemitism at school. Only 2% said antisemitism was a big problem at their school and we're reclassifying it as a more serious form of racism based on that? Is this a joke?

If you consider yourself on the left and a full two weeks after the fact you’re still publicly questioning whether the Green motion was good strategy, you’re acting, wittingly or unwittingly, as an outrider for the most bad-faith establishment attack on the left since Corbyn.

NEW: Green Party grandee at centre of motion row was funded by billionaire Labour donor.
As divisions emerge between the Green Party membership and its leaders, I have found that Caroline Lucas accepted tens of thousands from the Rausing family.

Paedophiles are now using robots to interfere with little girls.
German police have seized a humanoid robot after it allegedly touched a 16-year-old girl in an indecent manner and made sexually suggestive gestures toward her. Investigators were trying to determine Wednesday whether the robot's actions were deliberately controlled by two young men who apparently livestreamed the incident in the western city of Cologne on social media. cbsn.ws/4yim6Rq
