Mao is not on the list? I think he's definitely up there.

But the true worst dictator of the century is Pol Pot ("the guy from cambodia"). Ever seen "Killing Fields"? It's an accurate movie.

How many people died in the European theater due to Hitler's war and genocides between 1939-1945? Compare that to the number killed by Stalin during the purges and famines.

Anyways, interestingly enough, many people still admire Stalin for his strength in lifting up Russia. Had Russia's economy not self-destructed in the 1990s, that might not be the case. But it is. Another failure of the unrestrained neoliberal "market" economics of that era.
