The 2015 Silver Shield Collectivism Kills silver round is the latest release in the "Debt and Death" theme.

This round features a skeletonized version of Mao Zedong. Chairman Mao ruled China from 1945 until his death in 1976. In 1957 he launched China's "Great Leap Forward" in an attempt to transform China into a modern industrial society.

This program led to widespread starvation and disease and is thought to have caused 45 million deaths. When you add forced labour deaths and executions of political prisoners to the death count, it is thought he was directly responsible for 80 million deaths, making him history's worst mass murderer.

Mao is wearing his trademark coat with an armband that reads "Debt and Death". He has a pile of bones from his victims behind him, and the willing and complicit masses in front of him awaiting his command to commit the next atrocity.

The top of the round has Chinese characters that translate as "Collectivism Kills." This round is a reminder that it is not only banksters that spread debt and death.
