i never learned about mao in school
now i feel like i missed out on something good
Mao: kill all the birds because they eat the seeds we grow food with
[all the birds die and now all the crops get eaten because the birds can't eat the insects because they are dead]
[a billion million chinese peasants die of starvation]
Mao: melt down a bunch of metal in your backyard to make useful tools and items
[uneducated chinese peasants melt useful items to produce unusable metal lumps of extremely poor quality]
[lack of tools results in a billion million chinese peasants die of starvation]
Mao: plants your crops really forgetin close together to increase farming efficiency and make more food
[chinese peasants do that, and the crops all die because there weren't enough nutrients in the soil]
[a billion million chinese peasants die of starvation]
