World's worst dictatorship

min0 lee · 09-17-2005, 05:39 AM

Who do you think?

*Edit* I forgot to mention current, thanks Monkeyman.

Interesting thread.

I don't know who's worst, because I haven't lived in these.....ahem....paradises.

But most, if not all of the above mentioned, are rotten, when it comes to individual expression and liberty.

North Korea seems to be the most brutal. If someone criticizes the leader at the dinner table in their home, they punish 3 generations.

It's called killing the seed. Three generations - say, grandpa, father, and son, are sent to labor camps where they are nearly and sometimes worked to death, and tortured.

All Islamic countries are appropriate for this list.

Seriously...

Pol Pot - Cambodia

Some of his atrocities were worse than the Nazis

LAM · 09-17-2005, 11:47 AM

I don't see the current Bush administration on that list..lol

Wow Nachez, that's about as anitsemetic as it gets

I sure some Jewish people on this site are not happy with that racist remark

I would say the worst dictator is the guy oin Sudan...There has been an ethnic cleasning system going on there for 3 years...lead by muslims and against Christians and tribal natives, but no one will do anything b/c it Africa.

Why isn't Milosovich on there? He has go to be worse than Castro? Fidel is harmless...his days are numbered anyway.

Great thread

You forgot Pol Pot, Stalin, Hitler, and Pinochet.

Great thread

I wonder what would happen once Castro croaks, and who'll take over?

China's systematic sterilization ranks right up there with America's exploitation and manipulation.

Dude, where is Pol Pot?

Saying Bush is worse than Hitler is an even worse insult to people who suffered under Hitler IMO.

A very stupid statemen Invanry.

His statement was not anti-semitic.

Semites are Hebrew and Arabic peoples, and becareful not to incorrectly label followers of a particular religion under a racial category.

true to a point. but by definition a dictatorship is absolute or despotic control or power. the Republicans control the Executive Branch, House, Senate and now the Federal Judiciary

Big Smoothy · 09-18-2005, 01:49 AM

Min0, interesting topic and poll

BUT....

You missed Joseph STALIN.

He is considered to be the most totalitarian leader in world history.

He was evil

*Oops, you meant current.
