Some people make horrible
decisions, others are just
bad presidents, a few are
bloodthirsty, many are
extremists, a couple are
warmongers, and all of
these guys are a mix. Ten of
our political leaders in the
last 130 years have been
the architects of the most
horri c genocides,
systematic murders,
blockades, brutal wars, and
policy reforms history has
ever recorded.
Where to begin? Maybe an

dinner party? Did you
know the word “genocide”

10. YAKUBU
GOWON (1.1

 MILLION DEATHS)

Breakdown: 1 million
civilians on the wrong side
of a blockade caused by a
war of secession in Nigeria
and 100,000 soldiers who
died in that war.

It starts as many sad

stories do with precious
beautiful oil. It had been
found in the Niger delta
where tensions were
already high between the 
TO TOP
 Eastern region (led by
Ojukwu) and the rest of the
  

country (governed by
Yakubu). A dummy
agreement was signed
between them called the
“Aburi Accord”, but it
meant nothing to either
leader. Yakubu started to
put pressure on the region,
and tested how much sway
he had in the area versus
Ojukwu. Well Ojukwu
being no slouch declared
secession from the rest of
Nigeria and became the
“Republic of Biafra”. This
began a war that caused
the deaths of 100,000
soldiers, and much worse, a
blockade on the region

 which starved 1 million

civilians.

9. MENGISTU HAILE
MARIAM (400,000
– 1.5 MILLION
DEATHS)

Breakdown: As president
of Ethiopia and colonel of
“the Derg” (communist

TO TOP
 militia) Mengitsu
systematically killed those
  

against him in the “Red

Terror” campaign.

Mengistu Haile Mariam is

(as in still alive) a politician
who presided over Ethiopia
from 1974 to 1991. The
way he got into power was
by smothering the previous
president Haile Selassie
although he has denied
those rumors. His biggest
claim to fame is the
Ethiopian Red Terror
which was a campaign of
repression led by the Derg
(communist militia in
Ethiopia).

 In his
introductory
speech
Mengitsu
yelled,
“Death to
counterrevolutionaries!
Death to
the EPRP!”
Then he
took three
bo㔛�les
덙�lled with
blood and
threw them

TO TOP
 to the   
ground.

It was an auspicious
beginning to say the least.
Thousands were killed and
found dead on the streets
in the years that followed.
Much of the murdering can
be attributed to the
friendly neighborhood
watch there known as
“Kebeles”. As if killing
innocents wasn’t enough
they would then charge the
family a tax to return the
dead body to them. The tax
was aptly named “the
wasted bullet”! Are you
serious Mengitsu?

 However there was an

even more gruesome fate
of being left on the street
where wild hyenas would
ght over the dead. The
campaign has been
described as one of the
worst mass murders ever
in Africa. Mengitsu is even
known to have garroted
people to death.

8. KIM IL SUNG (1.6

MILLION DEATHS)


TO TOP
 Breakdown: Unpopular
among his people Kim
  

used the U.S. as a

scapegoat and forced the
country to believe in his
delusion or else.

Before our very own Kim

Jong-Il was his murderous
father Kim Il Sung who led
North Korea in a terrible
direction. He fought for a
command economy that
allowed the government to
make all decisions for the
country. For various
reasons the people never
seemed to love the man,
and so his hold on power
was tenuous at best. Like
most crazies he blamed

 somebody else, in this case

the USA, and said they had
spread disease throughout
its population. He also
pulled a Stalin, and had
large-scale purges. His
underlying reason was that
it would scare people into
believing he was telling the
truth. Kim’s purge was a
little different than Stalin’s
though in that there were
no trials. During his tenure
prison camps sprung up all
over the country to contain
the ever growing masses of
people against Kim Il Sung.

7. POL POT (1.7

MILLION DEATHS)


TO TOP
   

Breakdown: Forced city

folk to relocate to farms
and forced them into hard
labor.

Pol Pot was the leader of

the communist movement
in Cambodia. He
attempted to “cleanse” the


country and it resulted in
the death of an estimated
1.7 to 2.5 million people.
There was an interesting
policy going around called
agrarian collectivization
which he put into practice
in the late 1970’s. Basically
it forced city folk to head
out to the farms to do
some labor and vice versa
for farmers. As you might
guess, and hindsight is
20/20, neither group was
very good at their new
jobs. Pol didn’t stop at
enslaving his own people
though. He also didn’t feed
them well, gave them little
medical care, and executed
many of them. The net
result was killing off 
TO TOP
 approximately 1/5 of the
Cambodian population!

6. ISMAIL ENVER
PASHA (2.5
MILLION DEATHS)

Breakdown: 1,200,000
Armenians (1915) +
350,000 Greek Pontians
and 480,000 Anatolian

 Greeks (1916-22) +
500,000 Assyrians (1915-
20)

He began his career as a

Turkish military of cer and
leader in the Young Turk
revolution. Eventually he
rose to power and led the
Ottoman Empire in both
Balkan Wars and World
War I. As a war minister
Enver was not very useful,
and was defeated over and
over. His crushing loss at
the Battle of Sarikamish
needed a scapegoat, and
that’s when he decided to
blame Armenians for the
failure. That is what began
what is now known as the
Armenian Genocide. The

TO TOP
 word “genocide” was
coined to describe this
  

event.

Etymology
from

Coined in

1959), a
Polish–Jewish
legal
scholar, to

 describe
what the
Turkish
government
(ca 1915–

perpetrated
against the

people,
now called

5. HIDEKI TOJO (5
MILLION DEATHS)


Breakdown: Waged
unprovoked wars against
China, USA, Netherlands,
and France.

Hideki Tojo was a general

in the Imperial Japanese
Army. He assumed the
position of Prime Minister
and held Army Minister
concurrently. As if that
wasn’t enough he also held
other major positions like
Home Minister, Foreign
Minister, Education
Minister, and Commerce
Minister. His major
contributions to education

TO TOP
 were teaching militaristic
and nationalist
  

indoctrination. His version

of homeland security was
approving eugenics
measures which essentially
made a distinction
between pure blood and
mixed blood Japanese
families.

During World War II Tojo

started winning battles and
the public loved him for it.
He really bought into the
Nazi Kool-aid, and held
steadfastly with Germany.
When the tide turned, and
he began losing, it was
devastating. Eventually he
went into seclusion. He

 was tried for war crimes

and found guilty of waging
wars of aggression, wars in
violation of international
law, and waging
unprovoked war against
many countries. Not to
mention ordering,
authorizing, and permitting
inhumane treatment of
Prisoners of War.

4. LEOPOLD II OF
BELGIUM (2-15
MILLION DEATHS)


TO TOP
   

Breakdown: Created a
colony called the “Congo
Free State”, enslaved its
people, and forced them
into labor plants.

Leopold II was the King of

the Belgians, and believed
in colonialism. He thought


acquiring colonies
overseas was essential to a
great country and was
always scheming. The
problem was Belgium
really didn’t care, and so
Leopold went into business
for himself. He started a
company that seemed like
it was doing good called
the International African
Society. A year later he
used that company to
travel to Congo, laid claim
to a plot of land 14 times
the size of Belgium, and
made 14 countries agree
(USA included) that he was
free to rule it with his own
private militia. He then
forced the indigenous
populations into forced 
TO TOP

labor, created a bustling

 rubber industry, and
abused his workers
  

grievously.

Missionary
John Harris
on
returning
from Congo
said:
“I have just
returned
from a
journey
inland to
the village

 of Insongo
Mboyo. The
abject
misery and
u㔛�er
abandon is
positively
indescribable.”

Estimates of the death toll

range from two to fteen
million which could all have
been avoided if 14
countries didn’t hand him
the keys to the car!

3. ADOLF HITLER
(17 MILLION
DEATHS)

TO TOP
   

Breakdown:
Concentration camps and
civilians in WWII.

Adolf Hitler was the leader

of the Nazi Party. He was
the absolute dictator of
Germany from 1934 to
1945. He gained support
by promoting values like

 German nationalism and

anti-semitism. Hitler was
appointed chancellor in
1933 and began the Third
Reich. Hitler was power
hungry as all hell, hated the
shit out of Jews (and
others), and wanted
hegemony in Europe. The
militarization that was
needed to complete such a
lofty goal led to the
outbreak of World War II.
Nazi forces engaged in the
systematic murder of as
many as 17 million
civilians, an estimated six
million of whom were
Jews, and 1.5 million
Romanis.


TO TOP
 2. JOZEF STALIN
(23 MILLION   

DEATHS)

Breakdown: The great

purges and Ukraine’s
famine.

Jozef Stalin was the rst

Secretary of the

 Communist Party from

1922 – 1953. After Lenin’s
death in 1924, he became
the leader of the Soviet
Union. Stalin didn’t take
long in launching a new
economy that screwed up
food production across the
country so bad it caused
massive famine. Between
1922-23 it reached such
catastrophic proportions
everything went to shit. In
Ukraine this dark period is
known as Holodomor. Its
widely believed that Soviet
policies caused the famine
there and was designed as
an attack on Ukrainian
nationalism. Estimates on
the total number of
casualties within Soviet

TO TOP
 Ukraine range from 2.6
million to 10 million!
  

During the late 1930s

Stalin launched another
wonderfully titled initiative
called the Great Purge
(also known as the “Great
Terror”). It was a paranoid
campaign to kill off the
people who opposed him,
and his targets were often
executed.

In 1939 Stalin agreed to a

non-aggression pact with
the Nazis. Eventually
Germany violated the pact,
the Soviet Union joined the
allies, and they racked up
23.9 million deaths (the
largest death toll in the

 war).

1. MAO ZEDONG
(49-78 MILLION
DEATHS)

Breakdown: Policy
reforms like the Great
Leap Forward and the
Cultural Revolution. 
TO TOP
 Mao Zedong was a
Chinese revolutionary,
  

political theorist, and

communist leader who led
the People’s Republic of
China. Mao, while
controversial, is still widely
considered a savior of the
nation. I did a semester
abroad in China in 2001
after falling in love with its
history, and was surprised
in my conversations that
many people thought Mao
had done 70% – 80% good
things. During his rst ve
years from 1949 – 53 he is
said to have systematically
killed between 4 to 6
million people by
sentencing them to die or

 by sending them to “reform

through labor” camps. He
organized mass
repressions, established
execution quotas, and
defended his actions in
these early years as
necessary for securing
power for “The People’s
Republic of China”.

His social programs the

Great Leap Forward and
the Cultural Revolution
are two of the most ill-
fated, poorly named,
initiatives ever. The rst
was an effort to rapidly
industrialize China. His
focus was on making China
a premier exporter of steel,
and to this end he asked

TO TOP
 everybody to make it. The
problem was it got many
  

citizens to make smelting

shops in their backyards.
Not only was the steel of
little value, but it was made
from everything lying
around the house including
their own cooking
supplies! Without the tools
to make food, no money
coming in from the steel,
and no money to survive ~
a lot of people starved to
death. The estimates on
this program alone are 20
million deaths! Think about
that number. Really think
about it. Then ask
yourself… why would you
EVER let someone back

 into power after such an

insanely bad decision.Well,
they took the reigns away
from him for a short time.

In the interim Mao started

the socialist education
movement. He aimed the
concept at young ones who
would eventually wrest the
power away from the older
guard. By 1964 this
movement was renamed
the “four cleanups
movement” whose goal
was cleansing politics,
economics, ideas, and
organization of
“reactionaries”. This led to
the formation of the “Red
Guards” who were
organized to punish

TO TOP
 intellectuals and take out
Mao’s political adversaries.
  

The Cultural Revolution

was now underway, and its
overriding mission was to
abolish: Old Customs, Old
Culture, Old Habits, and
Old Ideas. Something Mao
fervently believed in was
that destruction and chaos
could bring re-birth. So he
told his followers to
destroy buildings, sacred
objects, talk back to ones
elders, punish them, turn
them in, and kill those who
did not agree. By 1968
things were starting to
look pretty good for Mao
all over again, and so he put
into place the decade long

 “Down to the Countryside

Movement” which forced
young intellectuals to
move out to the country to
become farmers. Sadly, the
people he pushed out there
were the same Red Guards
who had helped him get
power. Estimates of the
death toll are between
40,000 – 7 million
depending on who you ask.

Finally, there is the 100

owers movement which
just needs an abbreviated
mention here. Mao asked
people to come forth and
tell him how he should
govern China. Intellectuals
and liberals bit at the
chance to tell him what

TO TOP
 they really thought, and
were encouraged by the
  

Communist party to do so.

Then in a sudden change of
heart, or an incredibly
crafty mission to out his
haters, the government
persecuted 500,000 of
them who were considered
to be “dangerous thinkers”.

Mao is essentially like that

girlfriend/boyfriend who
keeps on taking a shit on
you, but is so damn
charming you hardly
notice. His policies and
political purges from 1949
to 1976 caused the deaths
of 49 to 78 million people.

 THE MORAL OF
THE STORY IS ~
Let’s stop allowing evil
political dictators to take
of ce. And if we do have
someone bad in of ce we
can nd better ways to get
them out than murdering
them, wars, and aggressive
confrontations.
