For Stalin and Mao, you can at least argue that there was SOME theoretical underpinning to their atrocities.



I’m not sure watching your people starve to death because you refuse to admit that your political philosophy is a colossal failure is any less justifiable than straight up gassing a race of people.

Look, I'm not defending any of them. I'm just saying, you can have some crazed theory on agrarianism that essentially has the cliched punchline "you have to crack a few eggs to make an omelette". I think that's different than just choosing to kill one specific group in the millions.

It's an interesting question you raise: did Mao/Stalin believe they were presiding over colossal failures? The USSR at least had something to show for their insanity (e.g. Sputnik and other scientific advancements). My guess is that they did not think they were witnessing failures.
