I can tell you what I believe to be the difference....and Stalin/Lenin make for interesting additions to the numbers while we're all at it..... The major difference though is that Germany went about it in as cold and systematic a way as the world had ever seen...and I hope will ever see again. China and Russia were in passion and national zeal for the Cultural Revolution and the Purges.The Nazis were just running an assembly line for all the passion there was to it.

At least that's how I've always seen it and figured they were radically different. No one in history that I've read about did it quite like the Nazi Party.

What about all the wars the west has fought since Mao, do you consider the those presidents and prime ministers mass murderers? The difference is 'the victor writes the history books', or in the modern age, controls the media. People respect Mao for promoting the status of women, improving education and health care, providing universal housing and raising life expectancy, because no one has said otherwise (in china). And considering China is the new super power, no one can deny he was a great political strategist, as a pose to Hitler who just screwed everything up.
And i dont think your title is accurate, Kevin Rudd, when he was Prime Minister of Australia...

It seems (seems being the operative word) that in the past the world saw killing your own people as almost fine, but had an issue when you started killing the neighbours (as Hitler did)
