    Is Mao Tse Tung pwned by Hitler? Does GW Bush knock the socks off King Leopold II (who massacred 8 million people in Belgian Congo)? Who's the most murderous world leader of the 20th / 21st century? Who had the snazziest uniform or the most radical politics? Now's your chance to vote on your favourite, the best, or the most murderous despotic world leader of the past century-and-a-bit!

    I'm voting for Mao because the Chinese Revolution had the best songs. Songs like "Sailing the Seas Depends on the Helmsman" and "Song of the Socialist Motherland". How many songs has GWB inspired?

    Not many leaders have been able to enthrall their subjects to such a degree through simple words and psychology as Adolf Hitler, so that is my choice. The others had to use fear, terror and manipulation as tools, while Hitler convinced his people mainly through his sheer outstanding charisma.

    I would have mentioned others, but you said 20/21st century.. And the poll says "murderous" while the thread says "best." History has had great despots who had their nation's best interest in mind, and who were not murderous.

    Well my thinking was that most murderous is basically best, though I can forgive shortcomings in the genocide department if there are other redeeming features like a terrific dress sense. Kim Jong Il looks hella natty

    Though theyve never been caught murdering anyone, you just dont know what goes on behind closed doors. And their evil is impressive

    I'm surprised nobody's yet gone for the obvious choice:
