The reason why its an inconsistency is because they appear to have no issue with statements that support a certain Marxist dictator who has a body count that dwarfs Hitlers.
Wait. What does this mean? The Cannes board are in favor of Stalin/Mao/Pol Pot? Didn't get that memo.
Also is Mao really that popular in the West? Old pictures of him have gained a certain kitch value for the art style. Is there more than that?
(We have to stop throwing around "P.C." like it means anything. Like Stewart Lee pointed out, the arguably most lefty, pro "PC" comedian by most definitions can still raise columnist hackles by making jokes about football and Top Gear. It's political correctness gone mad!"

In context, he was answering a question about the Nazi aesthetic of Melancholia.
Still trolling, though.

I don't think there is much more but there is a lack of knowledge combined with fight the evil capitalist power spilled over from Che Guevara cache' that makes people say stupid things like "why can't North and South Korea reunite" as if the west is a mean bully keeping honest hardworking proletariat apart.
I guess I haven't seen the full transcript because just saying you can place yourself in a failed merciless dictators shoes in his final hours doesn't seem the same as saying you want to kill all the Jews to me.

I like how the concept of trolling became so popular that you're even willing to apply it to the real world now.
