#Mao was similar to #Hitler, in the sense that both were soldiers at one point - enlisted men - and neither had previously held authority in the military hierarchy before their demagogic rise to power.

Mao was at one point, an primary school teacher.

Mao, at one point, entered politics in what was more or less a ridealong, appearing alongside an army warlord invading a neighboring province. He orchestrated a protest march / sedition rally in the invaded province.

Crazy stuff.
