The difference is that what Mao did was creating a strict regime. If you look at China's history then you see when the normal people get angry they riot and a new "dynasty" takes over. It's fascinating stuff really. It's almost like a pattern for China. Of course there's also the possibility that China changes gradually over time like the UK did without any bloody riots.
And Mao has killed a lot of people directly as well.
And I said I find it disgusting that they admire Mao. If everyone in China knew the truth then I wouldn't find it disgusting. Then all those deaths would have at least meant something, now it feels like they died in vein.
Wouldn't you find it disgusting if most people in Germany admired Hitler?(which they don't, I'm just giving an example)
