    Your personal opinion on the man does not mean he would have been removed, he was and still is a beloved and popular figure whose tenure saw the end of famine in China and a doubling of life expectancy. Stop assuming your own views represent those of Chinese workers and peasants under Mao, this is naked chauvanism. Either provide evidence backing your claim that the people would have removed him or stop this pointless claim.

      “he was and still is a beloved and popular figure whose tenure saw the end of famine in China”

      • a famine he mismanaged and lead to the deaths of millions.

      any functioning democracy would have removed that man.
