Haha, oh, glorious sarcasm. No, I'd rather have one that does real historical work rather than acts as a mouthpiece to distortions and hypocrisies, or at the very least provides a counterpoint to liberal historiography. Of course, you would consider anything that tries to reexamine that to be "Stalinist" propaganda I'm guessing. I'd like to point out of course that Mao solved the long-standing, supposedly "unsolvable" food problem in China, ended famine in China (which, because of natural fluctuations, and the feudal system, occurred every decade or so, but which didn't happen after the final regular famine - the one which occurred during the Great Leap Forward). Mao also provided universal employment, eliminated feudal power structures, allowed for universal education not dependent upon gender, and turned China from a backwards feudal system into one of the most powerful nations on earth. Of course deaths occurred under Mao, it was a natural result of the constant famines in the area, and since the economy was undergoing a restructuring, China at the time was not ready to fully battle the regular famine (though Mao's policies eventually ended the food and famine problem). In fact, 19th century famines in China were many times larger (depending on the famine of course), and they occurred every decade or so. Mao's policies saved far more lives than ever were lost during his reign, and most of those lost were because of natural conditions in China, not because of his policies. Also, by the way, honest debate will make your life much better, rather than sarcasm towards those you disagree with. You should try it.
