Have to disagree- all those things were "religions" of a kind- the carnage could never have been accomplished had not the populace bought into the myth (of Mao, of Lenin, of Stalin, of the Ayahtolah, of WHOEVER)- people who desire power can't accomplish much without lots and lots of minions- and to get minions you must get people to BELIEVE, and an easy way to get people to BELIEVE is to teach them to hate- most people love to hate, maybe even ALL people- but the truly truly evil people don't recognize it as hate even when they act on it. A rational person can hate without killing. A zealot has a hard time with that. All the examples you mention are examples of zealotry run amuck.
