Agrarian reform was one of the hallmarks of Mao's successful Cultural Revolution. Of course, nobody had envisioned Maoism or Chinese communism in that one can be assured that its application will be a one-sure-shot formula. Go and travel to China today. You'll surely admire their rice terraces, abundant noodles, government day-care centres, shopping malls, etc. I have never heard a Chinese communist party cadre boasting his country's 1 trillion dollar surplus budget. US is negative 800 billion. Canada is negative 500 billion.
Long live Mao tse Tung! Long live the Communist Party of China! Long live President Hu! More power to the Chinese! They will rule the world!!
