Remember when Mao executed landlords?

He seemed crazy at the time.

Mao wasn't even the one who executed landlords. He just never really cracked down on the pissed off serfs running kangaroo courts on the people who wronged them.

No, just that his stance on landlords may be worth revisiting.

Adam Smith was also anti-landlord, FWIW.
