Your logic is baffling. Hitler killed millions of people in the Holocaust. Mao killed millions more, yet he's still a folk hero. Where is the disconnect here?

That the only way you can come to the conclusion that Mao "killed more" is if you're deliberately downplaying how many Hitler killed, aka Holocaust denial.

I may have missed the lesson where numbers aren't allowed to be bigger than other numbers, so let me rephrase this in a way you might be able to understand. The most conservative estimate of famine deaths during the Great Leap Forward (backward) is greater than the ENTIRE European Jewish population in 1933 by at least six million.

Source: it came to me in a dream.

I also like how you're deliberately trying to whitewash Hitler by ignoring all the non-Jewish deaths he was responsible for.

Seriously, you're trying to argue that Mao "killed" every single person who starved to death in a famine, but Hitler is completely innocent of any of the deaths that occurred in World War 2. It's a double standard no one would employ unless they were trying to downplay Hitler's crimes.

That's how it works in a dictatorship right? The fish stinks from the head.

To address your disingenuous bad-faith argument, counting non-Jews you have 11 or so million total dead in the Holocaust, we are still nowhere near it. Fuck Hitler, fuck Stalin, fuck Mao, the CCP, and fuck the US federal government.

Again, you're saying Mao is guilty of every death in a famine because he was a "dictator", but Hitler isn't responsible for any of the deaths in WW2 (even the deaths by famine it caused).

You really are working hard to white wash Hitler.

If the great wall were as thick as you it would have kept the Mongolians out

I don't know what Hog out means but at this point I'm afraid to ask.

Go fuck yourself, apologist for your most preferred mass murderer

Speak for yourself, Holocaust denier.
