Extremely horrible person. I hate him. He was a disgrace for Belgium and anything it stands for, and it annoys me that he isn't named in one breath with people like Paul Pot, Stalin and Hitler. Worst scum of the world.

Americans holding slaveowning founding fathers in high regard is absolute peanuts compared with Belgium's ongoing failure to reckon with Leopold II's legacy.

all monarchs deserve the guillotine, especially Leopold II

monarchy inevitably leads to the sh**t that happened in the Congo Free State

For about ten seconds I honestly did not remember who he was, thought we were talking about the current King of Belgium and I was like "WTF Why is everybody spewing venom on the current king? comparing him to Stalin? Are you drunk?"
Then I read "Congo Free State" and I remembered.

He should have been beheaded and his family should have lost any and all rights to inherited wealth and titles. Imagine if Hitler's family ruled Germany in an unbroken line and everyone was just cool with it.

Three words:

Congo Free State

That's all you need to know about him.  That is all posterity needs to know about him.

Incorrect. It is also useful to be aware that he regularly used child prostitutes and when confronted about this by the London newspapers, he did not even bother to deny it.
