Rumsfeldia and other Gang of Four Comes to Power dystopian timelines: These feature Mao Yuanxin, nephew of Mao Zedong, as a psychopathic delusional tyrant who would bayonet his own babies and burn his own alive. In these TLs, he is prominent drug abuser, primarily contributing to his tyrannical attitude.
The question is, did Mao Yuanxin have these qualities OTL? Is it possible that if he really sat at the helm, he would just have been really Mao 2.0, without drugs, without killing his own people, with the Cultural Revolution only going on for another decade, but without the complete collapse of China?
