Hitler. He was worse than Stalin because his plans were much worse. Stalin was just more succesful. Hitler's true plans including exterminating 65 million people in Eastern Europe (not just the Jews, but just to make room for German settlers)

another candidate who should be on the list (in addition to Mao) is Enver Hoxha.

You don't have the means to do it.

J.J.: This is what Hitler planned on doing once the war was hypothetically won. All of Eastern Europe would be turned into serfs for the German Empire, and those not fit to work would be exterminated to make room for German settlers. The planned number was 65 million.

The inclusion of Kim Jong Il with these freaks is laughable, btw.
He doesn't play anywhere near their league.

As for Jake, yes, you are. Tongue


Kim Il Sung would be a more suitable inclusion.

I'd rank those:

Hitler
Pol Pot
Stalin
Mao
Kim Jong-Il
Idi Amin
Saddam Hussein

As bad as Idi Amin was, you can't put him up that high above Stalin, Mao and Hitler, although he should've been included on the poll.

I really know nothing about those guys other than that I will never try to pronounce their names.

hmmm, that first guy sounds pretty loopy, unfortunately that's not too uncommon in Africa.

And like I said earlier there should've been a mention of Enver Hoxha, who'd I put right after Mao. North Korea today is based on that guy more than anything else, plus he was basically Stalin-lite, he only doesn't have as much noteriety because he had a much smaller country, regardless he was able to transform it into a mini-1984 completely cut off from the rest of the world.

And there was also Ceausescu. OK he may not exactly rank up with the rest of them but I've always been "fond" of him because as far as all dictators' stories go, his has the most dramatic and happiest ending Smiley
