    Huh-huh. Hirohito was left as the Emperor of Japan because it has being found that he was innocent - what really ruled Japan in his time was a military junta. Your knowledge of WWII is akin to a 6-y old's.

    Was there anything else?

    When in Japan during the period of 1867 and 1947 and the God-Emperor speaks people listened. He was not innocent. Read a book, nuff said.

    You people decided that he was - and that in spite of the murderous rage that animated you at the time - So take it out with yourself. 'Nuff said indeed.

    Find yourself another "anglosphere vilain", such as Benedict Arnold.

    The most evil man ever has probably been lost to history. But to be fair, one must look at known historical figures and look at how well they treated everyone they had direct power over, but as leaders, how well they treated their own citizens as well as their enemies. What were their views on civil liberties, freedoms and so forth.

    Serial killers, violent savages and violent psychopaths who never helped their fellow man are the most evil man per man. Pedro Lopez is one of the most evil: http://homesecurity.net/serial-killers/

    Then we must get into know historical leaders that touched the lives of up to millions. Of Hitler, Stalin and Tojo, Stalin was by far the worst, with up to 20 million in his Gulags and prison collectives at one one time. All of them allowed some degree of human rights, and signed treaties.

    Ancient ruler like Genghis Khan and Caligula were brutal, vile men who slaughtered thousands of their enemies. But they allowed some rights for their people and made advances in civilization.

    The lowest, most evil men would have be leaders of savage groups like the Aztecs. Kings like Montezuma were pure evil Fascists who led totalitarian governments and demanded to be worshiped like Gods. The Aztecs had no redeeming qualities, and did nothing to further humanity in the World. They would enslave and torture their enemies in a gratuitous manner. They were even found to have killed 40,000 of their enemies at one time.

    Philosopher Alan Watts pointed out many years ago that more people have been killed in the name of the Bible than for any other reason in human history. That is a fact, not a myth.

    Queen Elizabeth and King Leopold killed more in their prisons.


    Note - I should point out that both claimed to be Christians.

    What Queen Elizabeth? And what number perished under her that was greater than the number who perished under Stalin?

    How did rights did the citizens of Belgium from 1865 to 1909 under King Leopold compare to those of the average citizen around the World in South America, China, India, America and Africa?

    I assume you are one of those who only, and only condemn those who are White and/or Christian. Am I right, or am I right?

    Links have previously been posted regarding the genocidal and imperialistic crimes of Queen Elizabeth and King Leopold. Your assumption is incorrect because Hitler and Stalin were also white Christians who followed the examples of those two murderers. Many here condemned them but not their predecessors. I condemn both sets of murderers and the others mentioned in this thread.

    While your post raised some excellent, thought provoking & well informed points, I have difficulty with this particular poll's simplicity among other factors.
    First of all, I think that the word "malevolent" is more accurate & to the point than "evil"
    Additionally, I'm not sure that the size of the "body count" that occurred under the watch of a particular ruler wins him the prize for "most evil".
    The malevolence of an individual has more to do with the sadistic glee he (or she) derived from killing his victims.
    For example, Stalin would stay up until the late hours signing death warrants while Hitler seemed, at first, more preoccupied with infrastructure & military matters even though millions died "on his watch".
    Also, we are judging "evil" by today's moral & cultural standards & our being under the influence of modern history having been written primarily by White, Christian Victors.

    Yes much of history has been written by the White, Christian Victors---however, so much of the mainstream media and college elites are now Anti-White atheists and Socialists who hold Whites and Christians to an absurd standard, far beyond what everyone in the world has done.

    The OP should have done a poll stipulating the most evil famous leader----as this was his likely goal. Some experts have even made TV shows about who is "Most Evil" on a criminal scale of 1 to 22. Category 1 criminals are those sane people who kill in self defense Category 22 are "Psychopathic torture-murderers, where torture is the primary motive. In most cases, the crime has a sexual motivating factor."

    I'm curious as to what degree "body count" factors into who you (or other Posters) consider more "evil":

    1. A leader who executes 10,000 innocent civilians in a painless manner

    OR

    2. A leader who executes 1,000 innocent civilians in a cruel & painful manner

    As for me, the more evil leader is the one that uses the most torture on the most innocent---depending on the circumstances. However, I try not to give any leader a break based on their race, religion or culture---as in my opinion---all "great" leaders should automatically "know better."

    Thanks, I think that a leader's cruelty & direct involvement with the infliction of suffering trumps the "body count"

    As is your own, but opinions don't need merit, they are opinions.

    So your saying evil only exists in the mind of the one that perceives it? Do you think morality is all relative and ethics are situational? That is what is wrong with the world today. Everything is seen only in shades of grey.by many.

    No, evil is a force and it exists. There are different degrees of evil, of course, but evil always has its desired effects to varying degrees, It kills, steals, and destroys. From the little white lie told to the IRS, to Weinstein's degrading forcibly of women, to Paddock actually mowing down individuals from the 32nd floor. Those are just varying degrees as of late. Unless we know to discern evil, as a society we are doomed to suffer it's consequences!

    Based on what you've just said, I believe that the word "evil" is too nebulous for the purpose of this thread. I think that the word "malevolent" is a more specific word than "evil" in describing the depravity of a cruel, murderous & destructive individual.

    For example, I think that a leader who directly participates & takes sadistic joy in the massacre of 1,000 people is more malevolent than a leader who remains detached but indirectly facilitates the massacre of 10,000 people.

    Additionally, I don't believe that the atrocities of a mentally ill individual should be judged on the same level as someone who is sane but commits heinous acts

    H.H.Holmes. Everyone seemed to pinpoint Leaders of Countries. Those leaders and their countries were all pretty much at war when their supposed evilness happened on mass killing.
    With Holmes, he killed over 100 people for financial and personal gain. He ENJOYED killing people and experimented in various methods. He built a Castle with body drops, slides, and barrels of acid and autopsy tables in the basement in anticipation of killing people. This man was evil incarnate. He had no altruistic aims like the leaders of the countries. He did it solely for personal gain and pleasure.
    That is what evil looks like.
