Mao killed 50-60 million people with starvation.

Yeah I hope he's better than that

Interesting tangent to bring up. How many people does America kill?

Mao killed his own people. The only possible historical analogue is what USSR argued about missing people from the Great Depression.

The closest analogue would be the culling of the buffalo, an intentional effort to destroy the food supply of the natives.

Americans don't like to acknowledge this.

But even that's a little different. Application of new farming practices is not an intentional genocide. The culling of the buffalo was an intentional genocide.
