Who do you think is the most evil totalitarian leader?

Sorry, But Hitler has his own catagory....Way ahead...

Pinochet wasn't too bad. I know a whole passle of Chileans (maybe 20-30) and not a single one of them doesn't like Pinochet (and it's not like I met them all in one place or they even knew each other).

And Pol Pot wasn't really a totalitarian leader, he was more the commander of a rogue geurrila army.

Why does he have his own catagory? Some of these guys tacked up death tolls 10 times as high as Hitler. What criteria are we looking at here for categories?

I don't have the numbers on hand to back this up, but I can say without a shred of uncertainty that Stalin has the highest death toll.

Stalin's toll is around (edit, typo - not 40 million, 20 million)

Mao Zedong's toll was a little over 48 million.

I voted Stalin. I considered Hitler but what made him evil for the most part was killing 3 million Jews. Stalin is more evil because he killed millions of his own people for no reason whatsoever for the large majority.

I thought it was 6 million Jews?

Thanks for the correction RnderSafe, guess there's more than a shred of doubt now, right, Sir?
I really am sadly uninformed on Chinese history, especially considering that they and one of their neihbours are likely going to be very important to me personally in the future.

3 million Jews and 6 million people in the holocaust if I remember. the other 3 mil would have included political dissidents, POWs, gypsies, homosexuals, etc.
