  • I'm not absolving anything. I'm not downplaying anything. I don't care enough to make an argument one way or another. I'm simply saying that motives should count for something when making grandiose claims about who the worst person in all history is.

  • I understand where you're coming from and agree in principle; however, I stated that the issue is with common parlance, which very much does include authoritarians among leftists. The Wikipedia article you linked even says so under the subsection: Types, where it includes Maoism. Perhaps I should stop referring to such as leftists so as not to normalize that perception, but it is already so and would make having a conversation with people far more difficult if I were speaking from a reference point that most people don't share.
