Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot were all social conservatives. So were their supporters.

    That's kind of revisionist and comes off like right-wingers claiming the nazis were socialists.

    If Mao was socially conservative within the historical context, he wouldn't have made it his entire thing to overthrow the ways of the past which he viewed as backwards and archaic. That's the whole reason it was called the "cultural revolution."
