    Man, it’s annoying what characters like Mao and Stalin (as well as America) have done to those words.

            I don’t know if you’re being sarcastic. But no. He didn’t.

            Unless by “agricultural system” and “cultural tradition” you mean the semi-feudal system of pre-CPC China. Then yes, he did.

            Now China has the highest percentage of home ownership in the world!
