Either you are trolling or you have been effectively trolled.
There are not 60 million deaths indirectly attributable to Mao. There aren't 1 million deaths directly attributable to his regime. Whether there are any more than a few thousand deaths directly attributable to him isn't really clear. But whatever YouTube video told you "Mao killed 60 million people" wasn't very good at math or biology. It's also a Western invention to blame the leaders of poor countries for the effects of being poor and going through a revolution. We don't blame George Washington for "directly killing millions" because of the casualties of the Revolutionary War, the displacement of English gentry, the death of slaves who were kept captive under the 3/5th rule, the Indians who were killed in the late 18th century, premature births due to poor sanitation in 18th century Boston, etc. He was a revolutionary during a time of violence, poverty and social revolution in America--you don't expect those things to not have a price. He is remembered for how he traversed that environment--which is very well, and better than Mao did in China, but hardly without human loss of life.
There was massive death during the 30 or so years that Mao was in power. There were also massive deaths in the 30 years or so before he took power. In both cases, that was mainly from starvation, secondly from civil war and a distant third was from direct political action, which may or may not have followed Mao's directives (or, in many cases, may have been the result of abuses by local politicos with a grudge). Most Americans have been taught to blame the deaths that occurred during the famines and the civil war on Mao. Most Chinese were taught to blame those deaths on the Western powers (like America) who were trying to foment revolution and isolate China to the point of starvation to break the will of the most powerful ex-colony in the world. Most Chinese, at least older Chinese, respect Mao. Most Americans, particularly older Americans, hate Mao. Many disenfranchised Americans like imprisoned Mike Tyson tend to discount the traditional American narrative on anything and will find the Chinese narrative more appealing. (America didn't care about Chinese lives, America doesn't care about African-American lives, etc.)
My personal opinion (not that it matters) is that Mao was an idealist who let his idealism lead to bad policy, in some cases disastrous policy (Great Leap Forward, Cultural Revolution, elevation of the Gang of Four) in the pursuit of a just (or at least understandable) cause (elevating China from an impoverished, colonized country into a world power in charge of its own destiny), He deserves some of the blame--not "directly killed" type of blame but some blame in allowing bad policies to be implemented and political activist to go unchecked--in the casualties that were accrued during his reign. He also deserves some credit in setting China on a path to ultimately achieve its status as a world power.
Yes, Mao was an idealist and Mike likes the way he thinks.
