Of course, no one has ever heard of Leopold II, and of the rest only Hitler and Pol Pot get condemned very much.
Know the Mao t-shirts that were popular a few years back? Can you imagine walking around with a Hitler face t-shirt?

Hey, you’re not being fair to the dictators of small countries, like Pol Pot and Kim Il Sung! On a per capita basis, they might have put bullets in more capita than Hitler and Stalin.

People condemn these men but they all had good reasons for committing genocide. Their hatred is understandable.I didn’t say I approved of their mass murder but I understand the urge.

Yeah, me too, whenever I send in my quarterly estimated tax and calculate how much of it goes to illegal aliens and our own semi-human underclass.

Why didn’t Geo W. Bush make the scoreboard? Estimates I’ve seen tally more than 1 mil dead in the needless and costly Iraq war. As my deceased friend Tommy used to say “love that shock and awe!”

@westie: Geoduck Bush has neither beard nor mustache, and is not Chinese, therefore he obviously is not an evil dictator worthy of this chart.
Also, Geoduck Bush left office (alive) when his term ended, something that the chart boys did not do. If we’re going to include mass-murdering democratically elected politicians we would need to add, at a minimum, Churchill and FDR. Together they racked up quite a massive civilian bodycount of their own, much of it after WWII officially ended.
(*Pronounce Geo W and tell me it doesn’t sound like Geoduck. Then look up what a geoduck is if you don’t already know.)

Rad socialist dicks always use starvation and food as a tool to control, eliminate, population. Expect the same with Obama and his puppet masters. Notice there was a bill that made home gardening illegal a few years back. I had called my local rep, at the time,he admitted to it but could not offer any explanation as to why it was there in the first place.hmmmm Now gathering rain water in rain barrels is illegal.

Why are governments constantly committing democide on their own people and yet the stupid sheep still stand behind these horrific dictators. The Chinese and Russians must be dumbest sons of bitches on the planet, but then Oreo has not kicked into full gear as his idol Mao.
As an aside- Oreo had a Chairman Mao ornament placed on the indoor WH Christmas tree his first Christmas he lived there……….isn’t that special.

OK, here we go again with the ‘American Exceptionalism’ thingy. Pray tell, where is AMERIKA’S drone-loving dictator Barack Hussein Obama on that lengthy list?

Some numbers that may surprise:
Civilian deaths in China during WW2 due to the Japanese invasion: 350,000
Civilian deaths in China due to the Nationalist Chinese government: 7,500,000
The civilian deaths due to Chiang Kai Shek’s government were largely from blowing up dikes to produce massive flooding in order to slow the Japanese advance.
Given that Tojo was only prime minister for about half of the japanese war with China, I doubt the 5,000,000 figure.

nm, I misread that chart. Those are deaths within the countries listed, not deaths caused by them.

The question I pose is, Which is worse, political rulers who kill, mostly via starvation, tens of millions of their nation’s citizens in a relatively short time, or a nation whose rulers feel justified in killing, mostly via disease, bombing and warfare, tens of millions of people outside their country over a period measured in decades, across numerous “changes” in political ruler?
Death comes one to a customer. We all die, some of us after long, happy lives and some of us early, through ill-considered actions or accident or simply bad luck.
Premature death due to the acts of others, acts on their face, judged dispassionately, that are the definition of EVIL, is what we’re discussing here.
When a man beats a family of four to death with a bat, it’s mass murder. Why is it different when a ruler, with legislative consent, orders the deaths of millions, including those who couldn’t possibly play any role whatsoever in any remote justification for the acts?
If there is a God, he has a wicked sense of humor giving a killer ape the capacity to organize and the capacity to create technology.
