Neither Stalin nor Mao were genocidal. Famines had been a common occurrence in Russia and China throughout recorded history. Soon after their socialist revolutions, Russia and China experienced one more famine, and have not experienced one since. They ended famines.

Well, Russia experienced two more, but one of them was very directly due to WWII
Oh dear oh dear oh dear. I have nothing to say to that.
