• Adolf Hitler (Germany; 1939-1945): No explanation should really be needed on this one. If you don’t have a clue, then congratulations on making it into Western.
• Mao ZeDong (China; 1958-61 and 1966-69): He founded the Chinese Communist party and was responsible for the deaths of more than 10 times as many people as Hitler.
• Joseph Stalin (USSR; 1929-1953): He launched “the Great Purge” in the 30s that rid the Communist Party of nearly every person who had brought him to power. According to a CNN article, Soviet nuclear physicist Andrei Sakharov estimated more than 1.2 million party members (more than half the group) were arrested, and 600,000 of those died by torture or execution.
• Pol Pot (Cambodia; 1975-1979): He was influenced by Mao’s cultural revolution, and 25 percent of Cambodia’s population died from starvation, overwork and executions in Pol Pot’s attempt to form a Communist peasant farming society. He conducted deadly purges to rid the area of the “old society,” and anyone suspected of being disloyal was shot or bludgeoned with an ax.
• Kim Jong-il (North Korea; 1994-present): In the world’s most tightly controlled society, roughly 250,000 civilians are in “re-education camps” and a majority of the nation is malnourished. But maybe that’s only because he is so “ronry.”
• Robert Mugabe (Zimbabwe; 1980-present): While Africa isn’t the greatest continent to live on, Zimbabwe has the world’s highest inflation rate, an 80 percent employment rate and, since 1988, the life expectancy has dropped from age 62 to 38. In 2005, Mugabe launched Operation Murambatsvina (“clean the filth”), which forced the eviction of 700,000 people to “restore order and sanity.”
• Omar al-Bashir (Sudan; 1989-present): His campaign of religious and ethnic persecution has ended the lives of 180,000 Darfur civilians and has driven over two million people from their homes.
Not meant to put a price on life, just to educate the morons that call Bush a Nazi and compare him to Hitler. This question was posed to show what true evil is.
