Consequencal killing makes it sound like you are defending Mao. Be very careful there, this is tricky territory. Mao was responsible for the deaths of up to 100 million people. Let that sink in for a bit. One. Hundred. Million. People. One tenth of a billion.

Whether it is Hitler, Mao or Stalin, all deaths they caused were a consequence. The consequence of hatred. Whether this was based on political disagreement, culture, religion or race, the motives and effects were the same.

Hitler was not more or less insane then Mao or Stalin. He just had the misfortune of kicking the bucket sooner. Luckily for the people of Germany. For the Russians and Chinese, less so.
