I know it happened in China but there's so many conflicting answers I don't know what's right, but I keep hearing it was bad. Why would anyone in China want to perform the Great Leap Forward if it was bad?

Thanks for being so thorough, cfgaussian! I was trying to come up with an answer as well but just couldn't. It was a relief to see you answer!

Thanks but i think my answer barely scratched the surface. I didn't even mention any of the cultural policies. This is a huge topic and there are so many interesting things that one could talk about. Entire books have been written on these subjects and i still have so much to learn.
