  A reminder not to throw the baby (culture) out with the bathwater. Maybe if it was called and treated as a landlord revolution it would have gone better.

    "Stripping property rights from 10 million people" has a certain ring to it that is sure to garner bi-partisan support. I'm sure our congressmen can write some water tight legislation to do with with minimal second order effects.

      Last time they did it in the US it led to a civil war. Still the right thing to do.

  This. For those of you who DON'T know the history. Mao did just what OP wants. It went very very badly. Like millions of people died badly.
