I mean, Churchill was a massive racist. The famine in India killed approx. 2.1 million people.
But Zedong's policies led to a famine that killed approx. 36 million peoole, literally 10-15 times worse. It's nice that he grew his own veggies I guess but fuck me that's an insane failure of policy. If you managed to fuck up so bad you end up killing 36 million, I think it's fair to say you deserved the title of monster.
