I've been reading a lot of books about communism and Map Tse-Tung, recently. Apparently this communist was a very evil man who killed millions... in peacetime.
Really? A lot of books? Which books? Do you actually read them, or just skim through them?
My question is if communism spawns such violent murderers, consistently, then why is it not condemned? Any wise person understands communism has killed far more people than Naziism ever did.
Dude, you need to get yourself a new hobby. Seriously.
How many times do I need to debunk this bogus, and, more importantly, factually incorrect talking point before you change your tune? Not only have I corrected you on this at least twice, but you have, yourself, personally acknowledged that it is factually wrong. Therefore, it is clear (In case there was any doubt.) that you have absolutely no interest in seriously discussing the subject at hand. this is just another demonstration of partisan hackery designed to instigate a flame war, and, I expect, satisfy some deep-seated need or compulsion stemming from some unspecified, traumatic childhood incident.
Furthermore, I don't subscribe to the lie that "communism never existed", that lie will not be tolerated. Because of this ideology, millions upon millions have died; but come now, communists weren't believers in communism---obviously they only thought they believed in communism.
The problem here is that you lack even a fundamental understanding of these concepts. This isn't a reasoned judgment based on your interpretation of Socialist literature. This is a witch hunt. It is masturbatory exercise, and a near-textbook example of a straw-man argument. What the people whom you are, badly, attempting to paraphrase are trying to point out to you is that Marxist-Leninism is a substantial departure from what was the predominent trend, up until that point, in Socialist thought. Socialism, until this point, had alsmost uniformly been of a Libertarian character, both among Anarchists and Marxists. Leninism was also condemned by Anarchists, such as; Mikhail Bakunin, Alexander Berkman, Emma Goldman, Peter Kropotkin, etc., and the leading Marxists, including; Karl Korsch, Rosa Luxemberg, Anton Pannekoek, and even Trotsky, at one point, just to name a few. See, I don't think you have much of an idea who these people are, let alone having sufficient knowledge of their works to be able to offer meaningful commentary on the subject.
They say knowledge is power. Is this true? Though I'm learning about the scourge of communism and the people who clung to the belief, undoubtedly there will be naive members who will claim communism is A-OK, that their belief is more valid than an older Chinese author or two who actually lived through such horror. Undoubtedly, I know there are ex-Soviets et al who will tell you the folly of following communism; but don't believe the people who actually experienced communism, because they, of course, must be wrong.
See above.
Communism is a poisonous ideology responsible for the death of millions.
No, but Christianity is.
Mao Tse-Tung was one such communist; his wicked acts are legion. He is but one.
Mao Tse-Tung was a corrupt autocrat.
Do you think communism is detrimental and Mao an evil mass-murderer?
It depends what you mean by 'communism.' If you mean the Marxist concept of the final stage of history; an egalitarian, socialist, direct democracy; I'd say that's very nearly ideal.
Mao Tse-Tung was a corrupt autocrat, that's enough. Also, you shouldn't use words like 'evil' so frequently, if you want to be taken seriously.
