Chairman Mao mostly got play in the "Why Communism sucks" section. A lot of stuff about shitty policies starving people, also genocides.
I know more about Pol Pot than the average millennial because I wrote a couple of papers on him in school. The hardcore anti-intellectualism he fostered was some next level stuff.
Didn't learn anything about Pinochet.
I like couscous. But seriously I don't even know who the last guy is.

Did you know that Chairman Mao used to pick lice out of his pubic hair during cabinet meetings show everyone how down with the peasantry he was?
