Who were the 3 most evil dictators of all time?

Who were the 3 most evil dictators of all time?

This smiling fellow right here, his name is Pol Pot. As the dictator of Cambodia, he killed up to two million people — as many as a quarter of his nation’s population. Which makes him pretty much a one-man black death.

A living, breathing genocide machine.

Hitler, Stalin, Mao, King Leopold… all have higher body counts. But they ran nations far larger than Cambodia, so in terms of percentage none hold a candle to the Cambodian equivalent of Satan personified.

It’s odd that this man can still smile. He made the streets of his nation run red with blood.

He murdered for the most insane of reasons — people who were intellectual, well-educated, would get killed just for the hell of it, regardless of political beliefs.

At some point he even went after people with bad eyesight, because glasses made them look intellectual in his mind.

Pol Pot had so many intelligent, successful and critical minds slaughtered that the average IQ of his entire nation dropped by several points.

The depths of his depravity are enormous, and almost impossible to wrap one’s mind around.

Giving one man such enormous power with no one to keep him in check, is absolutely terrifying.

Because you never know the heart of such a man, when he first takes power.

He could be a well-meaning person… or he could be Patrick Bateman.

And in Pol Pot’s case, that’s what he was. He was American Psycho’s Patrick Bateman running a country completely into the ground just because he could, with only a faint hint of ideology backing up his murderous insanity.
