I never said Mao didn’t have his share of blame, but to claim he’s a monster responsible for unspeakable misery not a paragraph after downplaying Churchill’s genocide is pretty rich. The Great Famine was gonna happen regardless, it was just made worse by the attempts to prevent it, but the party immediately intensified efforts to make sure it never happened again. Can you say the same about British rule in India?
You literally just downplayed the death toll of the Great Famine. And Churchill was a racist dick, but he didn’t purposefully genocide the Indians. He didn’t give much of a shit, but relief efforts were sent and ultimately did arrive. It was horrible nonetheless, no doubt about that, but it pales in comparison to what happened in China.
