There have been many terrible rulers in history, but it takes a special kind of evil to start a genocide, invade another country for no reason, or use a nuclear weapon on civilian populations. I know that it may be slightly distasteful to compare evil to evil, but I am truly interested in asking: who do you consider the worst dictator in history?

Adolf Hitler is the obvious answer for me.

He has caused more deaths than any other dictator in history, and tried to massacre an entire race due to their religious beliefs. Nobody else comes close, although second place would definitely be Francisco Franco, who tried to keep Spain in the middle ages from 1939-1975.

Why did you leave Stalin and Mao off of your poll? I'm sure that both of them are responsible for a lot more deaths than Hitler.

You owe us an explanation.

They're all wrong. It's OBAMA. As a Democratically elected president, who won two elections in crushing landslides, he absolutely refuses to work with CONGRESS and The SENATE. Instead he occasionally uses EXECUTIVE ORDERS to undermine the law. And now he's planning on getting CONGRESSIONAL APPROVAL to appoint a Supreme Court Justice.

He's an out of control tyrant.

Why is Mao or Stalin not on there? If they were Mao would be the worst.

How did Mao kill Nazis? Maoist China was founded after Nazism fell? Mao starved millions and killed millions of others.

You don't know much about tyrants. Obama would fail the entrance exam.
 
I see the OP was banned after a single post. Nice.

The total absurdity of the choices given demonstrates they weren't a serious poster anyway. They don't even know what a dictator is.
 
Consistency said:
Within the past 300 years or so, the answer is Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the ruler of the Islamic State.
He is worse than any of the dictators listed in the poll.
He is a dictator who presides over extreme islamist theocratic tyranny.
He ordered the genocide of the yazidis because they are not abrahamists,
and some of the wounded yazidi women and children were even buried alive.
He wages war upon the kurds because the kurds support secular freedoms.
He uses his regime's plunder to support the dysgenic reproduction of some of the world's
filthiest scum- the ISIL jihadist fighters.
He uses christian and yazidi women and girls as rape-slaves for his filthy-minded ISIL commanders.
He ordered the destruction of ancient non-abrahamic historical sites that are part of the western
world's heritage.

Not since hundreds of years ago, during the time of europe's torture-ridden abrahamic theocracies,
has any nation or ruler been more evil.

Unfortunately we made him powerful.

not fair that he was banned. i didnt see anything offensive in his post and he sparked a good thread.

Why the **** is Mao not on the list?

Also, there's that little guy named Stalin.

Also, Pol Pot.

Bush? You're not funny.

Thatcher? Again, not funny.

Truman? Really not funny.

Franco is like Castro. Your typical scumbags, but not history-making in their cruelty.

Can't expect anything but crap from a Maoist poster named Maoist though. :roll:

Hitler, Stalin, Mao were the monstrous trio of the 20th century.

I prefer funny trolling.

Same here. To all you trolls: If you want to troll DP, then please make it entertaining.
 
retarded poll and thread, ignores the two biggest mass murdering democrats in history, mao and stalin. probably a head-in-the-sand lefty op or americahating-troll, most likely both, like most lefties.

From Necrometrics:
After Hitler, Stalin and Mao -
A pretty good case could be made that each of the following rulers (listed alphabetically) were responsible for over a million unjust, unnecessary or unnatural deaths by initiating or intensifying war, famine, democide or resettlement, or by allowing people under their control to do so:

Chiang Kai-shek (China: 1928-49)
Enver Pasha (Turkey: 1913-18)
Hirohito (Japan: 1926-89)
Hirota Koki (Japan: 1936-37)
Ho Chi Minh (North Vietnam: 1945-69)
Kim Il Sung (North Korea: 1948-94)
Lenin (USSR: 1917-24)
Leopold II (Belgium: 1865-1909)
Nicholas II (Russia: 1894-1917)
Pol Pot (Cambodia: 1975-79)
Saddam Hussein (Iraq: 1969- )
Tojo Hideki (Japan: 1941-44)
Wilhelm II (Germany: 1888-1918)
Yahya Khan (Pakistan: 1969-71)

I guess the peasant who did not look at the local communist party official correctly was a Nazi when he was shot in the head?

yeah some names there that i didnt see mentioned yet like Hirohito and Lenin.

seemed to me that the Necrometrics guy was a little conservative in his estimates of the big 3 so maybe he is just looking for strictly provable deaths

Well, in dictators size surely does matter but not in the regular way (bigger is better) but in an upside down kind of way, they compensate their small stature with being insane aggressive douche bags.

He towers over Mussolini... I guess when I compare him to the Great White German, blond hair, blue eyes... Hitler seems a midget.

Stalin probably had the most people murdered or starved...but, not even he had the audacity to use gas chambers and crematoriums.

Stalin was no better than Hitler. they were both mass murdering maniacs.
