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, its 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 historys 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 didnt 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.

Philosopher G.E.M. Anscombe notes that every system of law, morality, or civilization known, across the cultures and across the centuries, condemns as an exceptionless norm the judicial execution of an innocent man.
I think these Marxist dictators just used Marx as an excuse.
My list would include FDR.
More than 50 million people died in WWII. Had there been no Hitler, there would have been no WWII.

Well... there was Pearl Harbor, after all.
And that dickless feck Williian Ruckleshouse, 1st EPA administrator under Dick Nixon, who read and re-read Silent Spring then completely ignored his own scientists findings and banned DDT.
Hitler then his protege soroz
“The Top Ten Evilest People of All-Time”
America has thousands of them just waiting in the wings for the perfect storm of circumstances coming together. They are known as democrats.
“They forgot Pol Pot”
If you read Rummell’s Death by government, he put Pol Pot and Hitler in an elevated status due to the speed of the genocides, and in Pol Pot’s case the very high percentage of the population he murdered.
So he has an element of intensity that he adds to the matrix of evil rather than just a raw body count.
My present day evil grandmother is Nancy Pelosi. The nation destroyer.
Plus 247,000 abortions this year alone. Nancy is on her game.
You a fan of the Sanhedrin? Odd...very Odd.
Bill/Hill
“They forgot Pol Pot.”
They need another list for heavy-hitters in the minor leagues - Pol Pot probably killed proportionally more of his citizens than any of these other jerk-offs, but since he ran a little country, he never cranked up the really big numbers. Imagine if he was in charge of China!
In any case, that competition should include at least the following:
Pol Pot
Che Guevera (however the hell you spell his name)
the Castro boys
Chavez and Maduro in (what used to be) Venezuela
Idi Imin
some clown in another penny-ante African country who ended up eating the gonads of his predecessor
I’m sure others can add to the tin-pot dictator list
“Evilest” is certainly a word - an adjective - the superlative form of “evil”.
I think of the “revolution idea” as a mad urge to turn the world on its head to bring it into conformance with oneself, because one feels “off” in the first place.
Satan...the father of lies and all evil.
We agree how evil pelousy is. ( she helps advance soroznazis antiAmerican , seditious agenda - from her doctoring or falsifying the Obama eligibility certification to her ramming zero-care through- plus lecturing the pope about how wonderful she thinks abortions are)
When you get to the point of counting bodies in the tens of millions... there is no degree of “worse” or “better”, or “more evil” between megamurderers.
That’s like saying Ted Bundy is not quite as bad as John Wayne Gacy because he only killed 30, when Gacy killed 33.
And the ones who always breathlessly rush in to tell us Hitler wasn’t as bad as Stalin or Mao and helpfully point out that Jews weren’t anything special would be the ones to tell us Jeffery Dahmer only killed 17, so he wasn’t near as bad as Bundy and Gacy.
Think about it.
But very good quote from Lord Acton.
Maybe not in Europe...but Japan was making some serious noise in the western Pacific.
