worst dictator

who is it. in terms of human rights violations/acts against freedom at home and abroad.

Stalin killed 24 million. Think about it.therazn

And that's not counting the people that starved to death or died of exposure cause of his reign, definitely Stalin, the ultimate fear monger.

Hitler Stalin did kill more people, but he didn't come close to annihilating a whole group of people from Europe.GettingTired

I vote Hugo Chavez as best.

Well, it depends. If you're going by nothing other than numbers, then Stalin was worse. But I think genocide ranks pretty high in the "Crimes against humanity" part.

why is my poll not up there i'm talking of current ones. the choices are : Ahmadinejad and Ayatollah Ali Khamenei (iran), Bashar Assad (syria), Fidel and Raul castro (cuba), Hugo Chavez (venezuela) and Kim jong il (north korea).whipassmt

If those are the choices, I don't know how al-Bashir can't be up there.

[QUOTE="GettingTired"]Hitler Stalin did kill more people, but he didn't come close to annihilating a whole group of people from Europe.RosetaStoned

I think it's far more sinister to want a specific group of people gone. And anyway, nothing Stalin did matched the inhuman depravity that the Nazi scientists inflicted on people.

He's not just talking about Hitler or Stalin individually... He's talking about Hitler-Stalin. Now that's badass.

In addition...his username also tells me something. Maybe it's just me, but Makaveli sounds quite a bit like Machiavelli. Have you ever read The Prince, Mr. RosetaStoned?

Anyone who thinks Bush is in league with Stalin, Mao Zedong and Hitler is either mentally deranged or theyve sustained too many blows to the head.Taegukki

They are being sarcastic, of course. Bush is one of the greatest presidents, if not the best president, in the world.

Btw, are you Korean? Taegukki is the name of the South Korean flag. And that one war movie.

Well...I don't know how long you've been around OT...but some posters do believe that.

Nope, im from New Zealand :D I studied Korean at university for two years, and couldnt think of a user name when signing up to GS so I used the name of the SK flag...

Stalin, then Hitler then Saddam Hussein. :|tomxizor

that was mostly because of the famine that resulted from new agricultural techniques that mao implemented because he thought they would help the country but ended up failing miserably. it's not like he purposely killed a bunch of people.

well apparently it's acceptable to kill 50 civilians as long as you take out a few "terrorists"

He's right. The only reason people know more about Hitler is because A) he was the enemy in WWII, unlike Stalin. and B) because Hitler killed a specific group of people, also unlike Stalin/Man of Steel.

I think Stalin was worse that Hitler.

Hitler was using nazism to gain power by directing his country's problems at jews, and and he basically wanted to make germany powerful because he was pissed about how his country lostWW1, so he started WW2. Apparently hitler was a nice guy before he became chancellor of germany, and slowly turned evil until he died. (im not trying to make it sound like i support him or anything, i learned all this on the history channel).

Stalin, on the other hand, was just plain crazy. From his evil reign, I formulated this equation:

Evilguy + paranoia + dictatorship +huge country with tons of people = mass starvation/even more paranoia.
