Please show me where either Stalin OR Mao were liberals?
They weren't, but then again, neither are most Democrats today.

They were leftists and that they do share with Democrats, that and the fact that they are all statists (people who want to use the power of government to control people).

The statist thing is also something Democrats share with Republicans today.
