In simple terms of number of people needlessly killed, the answer is the Great Leap Forward.
In terms of sheer atrocity, the answer is the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia.
...so I guess the actual answer is Communism.

Nope. What happened here is the worst thing a group of humans has ever done to another group of humans. Both in terms of what was done and the fact it was intentional and meticulous.

Unit 731. Warning, it is worse than you think and maybe better forgotten than examined.

Don't forget Uncle Joe Stalin's collectivizing the Soviet Union's agriculture, an event that killed a huge amount of people, though its impossible to be sure just how many died as the records were destroyed. Estimates are between 6 and 13 million people starved to death as a result of the program, many in the Ukraine.
Which took some doing because the Ukraine has some of the richest farm land in the entire war.
Famines tend to be the result of either deliberate policy or sheer bungling (God help you if Britain was in charge of your country's agriculture). We even had our own plan, that we put into place after WW II, to starve our areas of occupied Germany, and were doing so right up until the Cold War started to heat up and we realized the West needed a strong West Germany.
