Schram, 79, a former nuclear physicist who worked on the Manhattan Project, a formidable linguist who studied French and Russian politics before turning to China, said that his 14-year study of Mao’s writings confirmed the generally accepted idea that the chairman was a great revolutionary leader who made fatal mistakes and committed terrible crimes after he assumed power. He found that this assessment was accepted in China as well.
“I once gave a lecture in Mao’s hometown of Shaoshan. I said that Mao was good at conquering the country but not so good at governing it, and about half the audience applauded.”
Schram said that Mao’s Great Leap Forward was characterized by enormous waste, while the Cultural Revolution, his attempt to regain control through a broad-based purge of “counterrevolutionaries,” was “even worse.”
According to Schram, Mao’s 27 years as ruler of China were marked by “faulty judgment, a failure to face facts, impetuosity, and vindictiveness. He made loyalty to himself the touchstone of ideological thinking, and the conviction that the party had become revisionist provided a fig leaf for an increasingly autocratic dictatorship.”
And yet Schram found much to admire in Mao as well. Asked why it is that Mao’s legacy is not viewed in the same way as that of Stalin, Hitler, and Pol Pot, Schram replied:
“In many ways his political instincts were sound. He tried to invest in the Chinese people. But in his personal feelings he was emotional, wrong-headed, and hysterical, and these qualities increasingly took over in the 1950s. But despite enormous blunders and crimes, he was a great leader who was trying to do the best for China. I think he’ll be remembered for that.”
有人偽造托尼·賽奇教授對毛的評價。托尼·賽奇教授主辦了一場研討會慶祝施拉姆教授的貢獻。看看因研究毛澤東和毛澤東思想的著作而聞名的施拉姆如何評價毛澤東吧。

對於施拉姆說的最後一點，我持保留態度。隻要中共不倒，毛的神主牌就還有用，為了毛與中共編造出來的神話還不至於被完全拆穿。中共倒了之後，沒有了這些神話與偽史，才可能公正、客觀的評價毛。中國未來對毛的評價應該是低於對秦始皇的評價。

米蒂名言：Mao was good at conquering the country but not so good at governing it。
如此说来，坛子里有不少网友黑毛的调调，全都是米帝施佬姆给定的。不但给网友们定，也去了中国给党校的笔杆子们定啊。
施佬姆还说他也去了韶山定调。如此一来，就决定叫印度出面挑衅看看，这十几年基本两代人的去毛化效果如何，是否还能打仗。
过去洋人是用鸦片，把中国人搞得手无搏鸡之力。
中国，还真每时每刻都有不少吃里扒外的，人称悍贱的就是。
包括你们台湾的绿帽乌龟骂老蒋也是如此，卢瑟们怎么都像是一个教练教出来一样，不知有羞耻二字。
难道不应该悔过自新吗？
