You mean because of the 5 billion deaths they caused, if we sum up all people that died in that time?

Compared to Netanyahu, Stalin and Mao were angels.

    How many people did Mao intentionally kill? If you want to count all deaths by famine, you'd end up with crazy numbers in teh US too, specially if you'd add deaths by lack of medical insurancw or other avoidable deaths. But do we say "President X killed Y people (sum of above)?

    I think he meant the between 40 to 80 million that died because of the mao regime. https://factsanddetails.com/china/cat2/sub6/item1081.html

    And the 1.7 million deaths by gulag alone under Stalin

    I am just saying that it's ridiculous to add deaths by famine to their death tolls. We're not doing that for any other leader, and it's nothing but anti communist propaganda, otherwise we'd be doing it for people like american presidents too.

    Also the website you're linking is not very objective, the Wikipedia article about Mao gives a way more balanced picture.
