But if someone is so completely the product of a brutal system, are they really entirely responsible for everything they were and did? /devil's advocate

Mao was not completely a product of a brutal system, nor was Hitler, nor Stalin. They're the ones who benefited from the systems because they were the ones willing to do the things necessarily to rise to the top in those systems, and in a lot of ways the ones who were able to develop those systems even further and make them much worse in order to make them more effective. They created those systems and they lived within them.

And yes, they're responsible for what they did. In fact, to my mind, that's the significant thing about pointing out that they were human beings - they were human beings, not monsters or devils, and so they were responsible for what they did. And, what's more, the things that they did have to be considered as part of the range of human behavior - one of the really significant facts is simply that, yes, human beings can do these things.
