Mao Zedong: Difference between revisions

added trope
(added trope)
Line 31:
* [[Bad Boss]]: His treatment of Liu Shaoqi and Zhou Enlai, among others, both of whom died of illnesses Mao forbade doctors to treat.
* [[Blue and Orange Morality]]: Let's just say that he had a very, very unusual approach to ethics. Even his personal physician, when interviewed after Mao's death, said that Mao simply didn't think like other people.
* [[Cult of Personality]]: Allegedly discouraged the cult which grew around him, although there is some disagreement to how much he actually did this, and how much is historical revisionism. See ''Egopolis'' below for more details.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: He had a sarcastic sense of humor, to the point that it can sometimes be very difficult to tell whether he was advocating extreme measures or merely being snarky.
* [[Draco in Leather Pants]]: Many people, especially in China, still try to forget Mao's purges and excesses in the Cultural Revolution. He's hot anyway!
