    Yes, Churchill is often still seen as a darling of the “good, hard men” era who supposedly saved us from the Nazis (even though that was mostly the Soviet Union). Meanwhile, Mao, who did as the OP image states as well as essentially ended the cycle of famines in China and who constantly fought against injustice is demonized by liberals, and usually mentioned in the same breath as Hitler: “Hitler, Stalin, and Mao, the three great mass murderers of the middle 20th century!” The ahistorical smarm is grotesque and enraging.
