On his radio show today, Dennis Prager said: “You will know when China is changing towards some moral consciousness by its leaders when the picture of Mao come down.”
Mao murdered more people than anybody in history, about 75 million.
Dennis: “There is no difference between China keeping up pictures of Mao and Germany keeping up pictures of Hitler. If Germany kept up pictures of Hitler and regarded him as a great man, we would have a different view of Germany.”
“How could the Chinese leadership confront the evil Mao committed because then there would be no legitimacy to the communist party. We are the heirs of Mao. We are the party of Mao. And he was the biggest mass butcher in human history.”
“There’s a lot of nostalgia in Russia for Stalin. Putin is a neo-Stalinist. He can’t quite do what he would like because it is a more open society since the end of communism.”
“I didn’t agree with President Bush that the human being yearns for freedom. Freedom is a value and people don’t yearn for values. They yearn for security. That something is a value means we have to learn it. If people yearned for liberty, there wouldn’t have been slavery throughout history. It wouldn’t have been the norm. Liberty is an inculcated value.”
