and of course China is lowly rated on the democracy scale



Mao is responsible for every death that ever happened in China while he was in charge, and let’s add a few dozen million for fun!
Hitler though isn’t even responsible for every death in a war that he started, nor every death that the military under his orders caused; hell, let’s give a bunch of those to Stalin.
I can’t believe Mao invented famines in China, which had never existed before 1949. Truly China must return to the glorious days of the dynastic system where the people never starved and lived happily and carefree.
