The New York Times' article Mao's Great Leap to Famine discusses some of the horrors that are becoming more and more known about the Great Leap Forward. The "Great" must only be in size, not quality. As a father, the story of the fate of the little boy who stole a bit of grain particularly affects me. How anyone can justify any goal when events like that occur on the way is beyond me. Excuse me if I see communism, socialism and western liberalism as just degrees of the same thing. Government by good intention is nothing but evil.
