When Mao was right - which was most of the time - he was right.
But when he wrong… well…
This is a lack of cultural exposure tbh, I think he just geniunely didn't understand how bad American society really is.
he also thought that the soviet union was the most imperialist force, on the same earth on which the usa also resided so...
This was also true of Marx and Engels, imo.
He understood extractive imperialism perfectly but not settler colonialism. What he did understand of it he got from the wildly different experience of French African settler colonialism.
It's like that difference between the apartheid and the genocidal state that's come up recently.
An apartheid state wants the oppressed groups to do all the work. A genocidal state just wants them gone.
The US is both, genocidal to First Nations, apartheid to non whites.
Look, man, the sparrows deserved it
