Perhaps then we should nominate Karl Marx as worst person ever. It was his philosophy that inspired Lenin, which led to Stalin and Hitler......

is not directed at me. The post about Lenin creating Hitler and Stalin was not mine to claim. I did however take the authors inference and went one step further with it.This shows again that many people are just ignorant about the true ideas and historical events in Russia in the beginning of 20th century

but to compare him to a Hitler or a Pol Pot or any of those names on that list is kind of insulting.

I'm inclined to believe that Vladimir Lenin somehow surprizingly escaped the attention. He was absolutely insane, was not elected, killed about 7 million people with more or less direct orders, and started the whole 20th century dictator mess. He was pure evil indeed. And he still rules the spirits of some people which is far worse. And the Mummy is lying there on the Red Square in Moscow still. It has to be buried or the world would turn upside down again.
Almost all condemn Stalin and Hitler. But both were direct consequence of Lenin's plot of worlds development. As well as minor others. The whole WWII was Lenin's dream. He did everything to set up the world in its weird shape by early 1920s. After this, he just went crazy and was confined to sort of powerless excile even by his revolutionary buddies. They wrote in letters to each others that the guy is insane and has to be kept in close quarters before he kills everyone. Another bad thing is that Lenin trashed all phylosophy and ethics and some common knowledge pretending to be intelligent and smart. Indeed he was a jerk capable of manipulating people's minds. Why? He had another big enemy of mankind on his side shaking his horned head in approval. And Lenin was probably the first to start massive religious cleansing in the world. No other ruler before him dared to destroy EVERY CHURCH AND TEMPLE and to kill every priest and monk. Stalin just followed that and did not invent much new. IMHO, the ideas and intentions of Lenin did more harm than anything else in world history.

Marx was the complete opposite of dictatorship.

For the idiot that put Bush on this list
I'm not so sure about their "link"
So what? The burgeouis democracy doesn't work either. It is not who votes, but who counts the votes. Also, Lenin had support from the population and a 'proof' of that is that the people did not let Yeltsin violate his tomb.
That's Kim Il-Sung, isn't it?
