The premier concern of the socialist policies focus on the inability of Capitalism to provide a stable social network for the health, wealth, and living conditions of the citizens without the drastic damage of the economic system in terms of cyclical depressions, exploitation, and occupation of foreign lands.

If the author's claim of 70 million Chinese dead under Mao can be substantiated, such complaints about Capitalism are specious by comparison.

The actions of Mao in China derive from the conditions of the country in the periods before the final revolution while the country resided in a semi feudalistic conditions with the powers of Britain, France, USA, and Russia wanting to divide the country into a pie for economic resources starting with the Opium War in the 1840's.

Er, and from Mao deciding he was going to seize personal power by killing, torturing, and terrorizing millions of people.  To be sure, he had a few competitors willing to do the same things.

and the ability to comprehend the necessity of the actions of the dictatorships in the periods around the periods of war represents a critical component of political education.

"Necessity".  I think you could conveniently explain away any moral stance or action with such a word.

Quote
What makes the right of a country to stifle the self determination of another country against the security weaker nation?

It depends a lot on what you're willing to excuse as "necessity".

and the action of the violence represents an expanding factor in many poor communities.

Newflash: Mao was quite violent to the poor, when creating his regime.

I saw the alien phalanx coming toward us, and I calmed my mind as Kri'lan had taught me. And what I saw next to the phalanx was a shadow regiment, half-formed from the resonance around them. I cursed the aliens... with power like that, each one could fight as many, and I thanked Planet for sending us the betrayer.
