What was the policy of Mao in Tibet? Can we accuse him of being imperialist just like Stalin? I wanna make this issue clear 'cause i've heard lots of remarks accusing Mao of executing Tibetians unjustly...

It is possible to build gigantic factories according to a ready-made Western pattern by bureaucratic command – although, to be sure, at triple the normal cost. But the farther you go, the more the economy runs into the problem of quality, which slips out of the hands of a bureaucracy like a shadow. The Soviet products are as though branded with the gray label of indifference. Under a nationalized economy, quality demands a democracy of producers and consumers, freedom of criticism and initiative – conditions incompatible with a totalitarian regime of fear, lies and flattery. -Trotsky Marx & Engels !

Prior to liberation by the People's Liberation Army, Tibet operated under what was essentially a feudal mode of production which entailed the ownership of land by a small group of landowners sanctioned by the theocratic state. As such, Mao's decision to liberate Tibet could not be described as 'imperialist', although there were certainly ways in which the decisions of the local government did not really reflect the interests or opinions of the peasants and proletarians of Tibet - such as the desecration of religious monuments that were of great value in Tibetan culture and history.
Any (Or rather, the vast majority of) Tibetans that were executed were reactionaries who tried to destroy the institution of Socialism in Tibet and thus the use of lethal force was fully justified. |
