Mao was a thoroughbred communist. The same way Mussolini was a thoroughbred socialist.

Political leanings are not the deciding factor for someone being a social parasite or not (your substack on social parasitism and verbal iq reference).

And there are way more outliers than Mao, xi and mussolini, you even gave Stalin as an example in your reference.

it's just a given but you're missing the pattern here; that the smartest of the smart understand group effort, regardless of ideology, pays out better in furthering group (and personal) interests. If it's communism or socialism they have to invoke to get there, so be it.
