Wete there any world leaders more evil than Hitler?

Question

I have heard people say Stalin was way worse, but I wonder if there were others worse?

Chazmatazz269 · Accepted Answer

Yeah, Christian rulers. Hitler is the common scapegoat for a few reasons. First, the rise and fall of Nazi Germany was significantly more recent. Second, Hitler’s goal to change the face of mankind sparked a global war. So the death toll includes millions who were more or less exterminated and hundreds of thousands more who died in battle, or later from insurmountable wounds and infections. Third, the extensive reach of the war and ultimately his failure would likely lead to much more accurate documentation of the facts from various sources.
But it’s important to recall that WW2 lasted years, as opposed to the Crusades which lasted centuries. At a time when accurate birth and death records were unheard of, especially among the common and poor people targeted. Given that the Christians ultimately accomplished everything they set out to do, they were the primary source of documentation with no survivors to dissent. Some historians suggest the ultimate death toll might well be comparable to the holocaust. Considering modern medicine hadn’t been developed, even “minor” wounds and common torture methods at the time were likely deadlier than major wounds and infections would have been during the early 20th century. There was likely no “surviving” the conflicts initiated by Christian rulers all over the world. And since the church remains very wealthy and powerful all over the world to this day, discussions about the full depth and breadth of the atrocities of the Crusades are still largely frowned upon. I’m betting this comment even gets reported and possibly yanked. I expect at least a few hateful comments before that happens.

Well, despite killing "only" between 30000 and 50000 people, Rafael Trujillo is generally considered one of the most sadistic and bloodiest dictators of the 21th century - acid baths, child rape, necrophilia - he was nicknamed the Hitler of the Americas.

Pol Pot comes a close second - his Year Zero plan basically consisted in killing off roughly half of his own population - Cambodians learned that when he said "us many" he did not mean it as a good thing, but as a problem to solve.

Finally, the Kim dinasty is arguably the most successful - many people bet on the fall of Kim Il Sung's regime after the fall of the Soviet Union and the death of the Supreme Leader, and yet 28 years later the regime still stands, having survived through war, famines, and pandemic.

Pol pot was worse and Kim Jong Un is also worst I think because those both made their own people suffer.

It's a things to attack another country but killing our own people, letting them starve, etc... is ways worse.

KatherineJ · Accepted Answer

Evil is evil. I mean Stalin killed millions of his own citizens, Hitler killed millions, Pol Pot killed a lot of his own people. Deciding “who is worse” isn’t going to make any of them (or others) less evil.

There's always Kevin Uxbridge.
He caused the genocide of a species of 50 billion.

"I went insane. My hatred exploded and, in an instant of grief, I destroyed the Husnock... No, no, no, no, no. You don't understand the scope of my crime. I didn't just kill one Husnock, or a hundred or a thousand. I killed all of them. All Husnock. Everywhere."

Worse evil leaders than Hitler? I don't think such questions to be relevant, because how ever bad and evil a leader may be, without people to support them, they would only be more or less gesticulating clowns. Dictators are only the tip of an iceberg in the field of what's wrong with a human society.

DryGermanGuy · Answer

What's with you Americans and your fetish for "sports" statistics? Being evil is like being pregnant, either you are or you aren't. And there were lots and lots of evil state leaders around, Mao Zedong, Pol Pot, Mobutu Sese Seko, Robert Mugabe, Nicolae Ceaușescu... take your pick.

Sixgunsound · Answer

Mao killed more than Stalin who killed more than Hitler. All were leftists. All were ideologically motivated. All hated western capitalism. All hated churches, but recognized their usefulness to dictators. All put their enemies in camps. The only reason we aren’t allowed to talk about Mao is the amount of influence China has over most world governments.

HippieVeganJewslim · Answer

Comrade Stalin murdered more people than Führer Hitler. My Russian mum claims that Putin is worse than Hitler as well. Mao Zedong was worse. Genghis Khan also. I ain’t sure, but I think impaling like Vlad the Impaler did is way more painful than Hitler’s gas chambers (which are legalised in some Yankee states). Just because everyone knows how Hitler is bad, doesn’t mean he’s the worst.

Avicenna · Answer

Mao and Stalin were more prolific killers than Hitler, but, honestly, they and other mass murderers like Pol Pot were for all intents and purposes equally evil.

bean2k21 · Answer

In my opinion, Hitler was the personification of evil, but not evil itself. Is there any evidence that he ever personally murdered anyone? Did he ever say anything that people didn't already want to hear?

The only larger Genocide that I can think of, with more unrighteous first kills, is the Abortion Industry from Roe via Wade ruling. And that’s the sad truth.

MikeInHawaii · Answer

Stalin killed two to three times as many of his own people as Hitler did. Mao killed more than the two combined. Pol Pot killed a greater percentage of his own population than any of them.
