From article Tim Walz: Mao’s Missionary. Stephen B. Young. September 15, 2024:
According to one of his students, during their 1995 trip to China, vice presidential candidate Tim Walz sought out copies of Chairman Mao’s Little Red Book to give to American friends.
[Personal note, cannot find confirmation nor denial this happened. But do know Walz has a great affinity for Red China so am inclined to believe this claim].
…
Anyone who, in 1995—two decades after the Great Helmsman’s death and the truth about his unconscionable tyranny over the Chinese people had become widely known—WANTED TO PASS ON COPIES OF THE LITTLE RED BOOK IS NOT INTELLECTUALLY FIT TO EXECUTE THE OFFICE OF VICE PRESIDENT under the Constitution of the United States.
…
For those who did not live through Mao’s Cultural Revolution or who don’t remember his Little Red Book, let me fill you in.
I have a first edition of the Little Red Book from 1966 with Lin Biao’s introduction, purchased in Hong Kong.
The book contains quotations from Chairman Mao’s many writings.
The small book of 311 pages, each 3X5 inches, had a plastic red cover. Millions were printed and handed out.
THE PURPOSE OF THE LITTLE BOOK WAS TO INDOCTRINATE ALL CHINESE WITH CORRECT MAOIST THINKING, to make them “Red,” as the saying was, in mind, heart, and spirit, dependent on the Chairman and his Chinese Communist Party as their thought leader.
…
As Lin Biao wrote in his introduction to the Little Red Book (before HE TURNED AGAINST MAO AND DIED WHEN HIS AIRPLANE WAS SHOT OUT OF THE SKY as he was trying to escape to Russia):
“The most fundamental task is at all times to hold high the great red banner of Mao Zedong thought and to arm the minds of the people throughout the country with it.”
…
A Chinese student of mine in the early 1980s described how the Little Red Book was used by the Red Guards during the Cultural Revolution.
LIU PEI HAD BEEN SENT FROM BEIJING TO WORK AS A FIELD HAND IN A RURAL COOPERATIVE TO LEARN HOW TO BE A MODEL “RED” CHINESE.
…
A Red Guard would come up to him and verbally pounce with a number, say “36” or “114.”
Liu Pei was expected to recite every word of the Chairman printed on that page.
IF ONE WORD OF THE PAGE WAS FORGOTTEN OR MISPRONOUNCED, IT WAS TAKEN AS EVIDENCE OF NOT BEING SUFFICIENTLY “RED” AND PATRIOTIC.
Therefore, discipline was administered and more right-thinking education imposed to help him self-correct and eradicate the non-proletarian tendencies of his personality.
…
The author of the book, MAO ZEDONG IS CREDITED WITH CAUSING THE DEATHS OF AT LEAST 30 MILLION CHINESE, WHICH PUTS HIM WAY AHEAD OF ADOLPH HITLER AS A KILLER OF PEOPLE.
…
[From book The Devil and Communist China: From Mao Down to Xi:
“Human beings were nothing more than faceless objects to Mao.
For example, in the mid1950s, attempting to realize the Communist Manifesto’s call for “agricultural armies,” he embarked upon a grand scheme to collectivize agriculture.
HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF CHINESE PEASANTS WERE FORCED INTO HUGE PEOPLE’S COMMUNES.
The peasants were understandably unhappy when the CCP took away their land, but Mao was not yet content: he wanted to dehumanize them further.
The chairman seriously entertained the idea of simply assigning everyone a number, as they do in prisons, and thus doing away with names altogether.
CHINA’S MASSES CAME CLOSE TO LOSING THEIR IDENTITIES ALTOGETHER IN THE GIANT PRISON CAMP THAT MAO WAS CONSTRUCTING.
Mao’s total lack of compassion for other people manifested itself in other ways as well.
When the people’s communes failed and famine struck the land in the early sixties, Mao was unmoved.
The people could live on “tree bark and grass,” he quipped.
When tens of millions of people began to die of starvation, he did not utter a word of sympathy.
Instead, he dismissed their plight by matter-of-factly observing, “When there is not enough to eat, people starve to death.
IT IS BETTER TO LET HALF OF THE PEOPLE DIE SO THE OTHER HALF CAN EAT THEIR FILL.”]
…
So, we might consider the Little Red Book as the Chinese counterpart to a mini Mein Kampf setting out the thinking of the leader—Fuhrer in German and Lingxiu in Chinese.
With this parallel to Hitler in mind, we might say the key sentence in the Little Red Book is this: “EVERY COMMUNIST MUST GRASP THE TRUTH, ‘POLITICAL POWER GROWS OUT OF THE BARREL OF A GUN.’”
…
Thus, the Little Red Book instructs us to impose our will, our ideology, on others through force, never taking “Let’s talk about it” for an answer.
Did Tim Walz really think we needed this in America back in 1995?
IS THIS THE SOCIALISM WALZ THINKS OF AS JUST FRIENDLY AND NICE “NEIGHBORLINESS?”
…
The Little Red Book says too, “THE SEIZURE OF POWER BY ARMED FORCE, THE SETTLEMENT OF THE ISSUE BY WAR, IS THE CENTRAL TASK AND THE HIGHEST FORM OF REVOLUTION.”
Other dicta of the Chairman quoted in the Little Red Book include:
“The masses have a potentially inexhaustible enthusiasm for socialism. Those who are utterly incapable of seeing this enthusiasm are blind and all is dark ahead of them.”
“In a class society, everyone lives as a member of a particular class, and every kind of thinking, without exception, is stamped with the brand of a class.”
“Our present task is to strengthen the people’s state apparatus—mainly the people’s army, the people’s police, and the people’s courts—in order to consolidate national defense and protect the people’s interests.”
“WE MUST CONSCIENTIOUSLY GET RID OF EVERY UNHEALTHY MANIFESTATION IN ANY LINK IN OUR WORK THAT IS DETRIMENTAL TO THE UNITY BETWEEN THE PARTY AND THE PEOPLE.”
“Our present task is to strengthen the people’s state apparatus—mainly the people’s army, the people’s police, and the people’s courts—in order to consolidate national defense and protect the people’s interests.”
“We must conscientiously get rid of every unhealthy manifestation in any link in our work that is detrimental to the unity between the Party and the people.”
…
How could any of these dicta have been inspiring or relevant to Americans in 1995, or to the Chinese for that matter?
And in 2024, they don’t feel like the politics of Joy either.

“Mao Zedong is credited with causing the deaths of at least 30 million Chinese, which puts him way ahead of Adolph Hitler as a killer of people.”
(always some edits):
We and They see and know with actual “communism” would end up with everyone, including We 50% who don’t want, in a country-wide simple lifestyle fully-equitable classless society misery-equity prison, slowly mentally and physically starved to death.
Xi and CCP’s final goal and result be All/oll people to be put in country-wide prison, with We 50% socialist-Red Book-ignorant refuseniks in special gulag torture and starvation prisons, per XiChina’s current coddled desired model Kim-North Korea.
This is same as at first in Bolshevik-style direct-to-full-communism MaoChina.
Then, Deng and the CCP in the 1970s realized China had to at first Menshevik-style be temporarily economically and militarily strong to be able to project the Mao/Satan communism prison globally for the prison to take permanent hold in China, America, and everywhere.
No escape be the key.
Then, finally, everyone be in prison and quickly or slowly tortured and starved to death, except for the 5% shapeless-form politburo prison tenders, admiring, praising and bowing down to zeir certain other wuvver downlooking laughing-with-delight King God-negater eventual Earth barrenizing villain Satan.
…
But, tough news for dem, We God-is love-side Real Reps HATrs Schöpfers will soon sing the verse, gather All tHAT we can, change and awaken, step up, run and turn-turn-turn round squares, rearrange, and save ourselves from dem, dem from demselves, America, China, North Korea and All Earth from zat strange and odd Marx/ Mao/ CCP/ Xi/ Kim/ Satan poison and prison.
Then as ( red + blue = ) purple people and friends we'll All go together here then go out there with tHAT into universe.
…
THAT above veracity and/or efficacy meant only for All Real Republicans, oll others please ignore, or doff and scoff.
