    Or the CIA made it all up because Mao and Stalin et al did nothing wrong. 🙄

    They made mistakes. But overall their countries were a gazillion times better from their influence.

    e.g. From 1950 to 1980, life expectancy at birth in China grew from between 35 and 40 years to 65.5 years, one of the most rapid sustained increases in documented global history
