Maonia

It's funny that Chairman Dictator Mao is on all the banknotes in China. Germany didn't put Hitler on the Deutschmark, and Chile doesn't plaster Pinochet on its peso. I wonder at what point China will be forced to take an honest look at its past.

It's also interesting that plenty of tourists seem to buy Mao's little red book. If that's a hip piece of pop culture, imagine how cool it will be when I open a store in the States that sells figurines in white hoods holding burning crosses.
