Pol Pot's regime killed ~2m people out of ~8m.

People claim that Mao might have been responsible for ~60m, but I would personally put lower, and it was out of ~600m people.

I consider Pol Pot worse.I think Mao did a lot of good things for China too (and I think not 100% to blame for ~30m deaths in the Great Leap Forward), I can't think of anything good Pol Pot did.
