  Portrait of Mao to go under hammer and sickle

Portrait of Mao to go under hammer and sickle: "BEIJING (Reuters) - Mao Zedong, the founder of Communist China, is to fall victim to a distinctly capitalist tradition when his portrait goes up for auction next month.

The original model for the Mao painting that hung above Tiananmen Square, the symbolic heart of the China's Communist revolution, is expected to fetch 1 million to 1.2 million yuan ($120,000-$150,000) when it is sold through a Beijing auction house, the China Daily reported on Friday."

Capitalism is like Pandora's Box and once it is opened there is precious little that can be done to stop it.
