    So what? Your core moral values are fucked if you think thats the case. You must look at what’s happening in American as completely ok because from Trumps point of view the end justifies the means.

    If we apply that kind of logic it allows people in power to do whatever crazy action they want in as long as they are in pursuit of a “good” goal.

      How’s Maoism comparable to Trumpism? Maoism reinforced women’s rights compared to what came before, reinforced worker’s rights, kickstarted industrialization, defeated fascism in China (both the Kuomintang and Imperial Japan), freed China from colonialism, and doubled life expectancy. It wasn’t perfect for sure, but any political alternatives at the time were measurably worse by any metric.
