Who? Why?

And why is someone else wrong?

I'll start with Genghis Khan. He seems like the most murderous and sadistic fuck to have walked the Earth.

FDR ?

Too soon ?

Besides the provocative answer I don’t know.

The bastard in Africa who started capturing folks and selling them into slavery.

Initial thought would be Karl Marx, with Joe Stalin is a close second.
But it really wouldn't matter: dictators are a dime a dozen, and most of humanity is more comfortable living under their rule than struggling with freedom.
So, it would probably be FDR, whose communist ideology wreaked the most havoc on the U.S.

Probably Karl Marx.

Without him you get no red October uprising is Russia, which means no Stalin or Mao in power- and given the impact on WW1 probably no Hitler in power.

Runner up - Muhammad.

The lesson is the most powerful and world changing thing a person can do is have an idea. These two had ideas that lead others to do incalculable harm to the course of human history.

Based on how Germany was treated by France, and other countries to a lesser extent after loosing WW1, I suspect Hitler would have still been elected.

Not because they're particularly bad, but the downstream effects of their influence really fucked shit up.

If you killed them, they wouldn't have existed for you to kill them or you wouldn't have the reason to kill them because that timeline wouldn't exist.

Example, if you killed Hitler, the holocaust wouldn't have happened, so you'd have no reason to have killed Hitler and therefore would never have killed him, or you would have killed him for no reason.

My thought process is that without Russia imploding, Germany buckles quite a bit sooner - resulting in fewer casualties overall for France and the Brits and a less punitive peace.

Hmmm, what an absolute shitshow of a thread

Can't kill an idea by killing a single man. Really think Lenin was the sole heir to the concept of communism? Never been dun befo? Had that whole Jan 6th thing gone differently, maybe there's some name that would loom over the rest for the history books. Right place, right time.

But very few times could you truly alter history by taking out a single man. Some good and expected names in here and quite a few debateable names as well.
