Red Legacy in China.


More Chinese will celebrate today's birth anniversary than (either of) yesterday's. In Mao Zedong's hometown, Shaoshan, a $16 million gold statue of the communist god has been erected. Most Chinese will celebrate today for, if for no other reason, the end of foreign domination. That is understandable for most people everywhere would wish to suffer domestic rather than foreign domination. Mao Zedong's state is uniquely Chinese, based on Chinese philosophers Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, and, in the last 37 years, Adam Smith. That is the Red Legacy in China.
