Genocide

Based on my prior knowledge genocide is the act of killing a large group of people solely bases on elements such as ethnicity, and religious or political views.  As defined by the Merriam Webster Dictionary: "Genocide is the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political, or cultural group."

The obvious example of genocide in history would be The Holocaust, but like I said, that would be obvious. But what I'm going to tell you about decimated more than twice that of The Holocaust. Mao Ze-Dong, founder and Chairman of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP); whose intention was to invoke socialism in China; they aimed to do that by eliminating traditional, capitalist, and cultural elements from the Chinese society, and inflict Maoist orthodoxy within the party.
