Have you ever wondered who the evilest people to ever walk this earth are? Adolf Hitler always seems to be the go-to reference in such conversations. It is a difficult thing to quantify. Do we do it statistically — that is, according to who killed the most people — or should it be based on their evil influence on history? My list relies on both. Of course, it’s totally subjective, but those making the Top Ten might surprise you. So, starting in reverse order, I give you a list of people who will make you feel better about yourself:
10. (tie) The Kims: Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong Il, and Kim Jong-un
This is quite possibly history’s worst political dynasty. In addition to starting the Korean War that killed 3 million people and their refusal to officially end that conflict, this grandfather-son-grandson trio has created one of the most repressive regimes in the world. Without the protection of a meaningful constitution and the Rule of Law, citizens are frequently starved, beaten, imprisoned, murdered, indoctrinated, and forced to worship the Supreme Leader. At least North Korea serves as a nice answer for millennials who ask, “Dad, what was the Soviet Union like?”
9. The Sanhedrin of Jesus’ Day
Somebody from the Bible should make this list, and while there are a number of fine nominees, I decided it should be the majority of those who were members of the Sanhedrin in Jesus’ day. Why? Many who reject Jesus as the Son of God do so because they didn’t see his miracles or hear his teaching. By contrast, the Sanhedrin saw and heard both. Rather than believing in Jesus when they saw him perform miracles, their hatred for him grew.

Brace list well done
Did you get the 2 top names reversed?
I wouldn’t consider Obama Patriotic, but Marxist would be consistent.
Lincoln, generally accepted as a Patriot, though might be argued regarding state’s rights.
The Communist Manifesto booklet by Marx was written in 1848 and Das Kapital in 1867, Vol II III published by Engels posthumously in 1885 and 1894, respectfully.
That is utter nonsense
Good lord man
Was John F’n Kerry right all this time?
(He was in Vietnam, you know).
Sometimes here you just don’t know how to reply
I saw that post and I was like are you kidding me
Sure we don’t like Soros and a little inaccuracy is ok
But that was a crazy post
A minor detail...
I knew the Sanhedrin thingie would rile some....
Exactly!
Even today, hundreds are murdered in his name every single day! A fact no other demon in human form, for our entire written history, can lay claim to!
Lopez didn’t start the Triple Alliance war by his lonesome
Argentina invaded Uruguay as I recall first and created a sympathetic state there
Brazil and Argentina were feeling their oats and Paraguay was worried and struck first in the Matto Grosso
A hot humid grassland and jungle area suited mostly for cattle
Anyhow Paraguay started with a nice army but was eventually decimated as you said from Brazil Argentina and Uruguay
It was foolish but Lopez was goaded and threatened
You can still feel the effects in Asunción
No Caligula or Nero?
Also no Shaka?
The only good thing Stalin ever did was to kill Trotsky.
Hard to know who to cheer for in that contest. Trotsky was every bit as murderous as Joe, that’s for sure.
the Kant-Hegel combo: the hatred of reason and reality and the glorification of statism, violation of natural rights, and force that Marx and everyone else after them accepted. Thought precedes action.
Was Bill Sherman included?

I don’t know that Marx was personally evil.
It’s easy to incorrectly give Herr Hitler the sole blame for World War Two, but Italian, Russian, and Japanese imperialism are also in the pot.
Agreed. Marx was not particularly evil, and the notion posted upstream that Darwin was evil is ridiculous.
