Fun Facts About Dictators

Image sources:

Dictators get a bad rap these days. People think that being a dictator is all about crushing your enemies, oppressing the masses and carrying out ethnically targeted genocide campaigns, but it isn’t. There’s more to being a dictator than bullying and brutality. In fact, most dictators are actually pretty fun guys. Some of them, on the other hand, are just plain bonkers.

Let’s take a look at the brighter side of some of history’s most bizarre and cruel men. Here are some fun and interesting facts about dictators.

      It’s the favor Hitler did to God by killing non-human worthless beings, or that’s what those assholes though. Honestly, you can’t be that ignorant, can you? Do you even know anyone jewish?

    Mr. Julius Malema, a South African, currently the president of the ruling ANC’s Youth League is showing potential as a great dictator of the future. That is just my opinion but feel free to read the index of the Eng. Wikipedia article about ‘Julius Malema”.

    It’s a start…but there are a lot more “fun facts” that could be told. Speaking of ““hollocauste” might as well ask the question…what is the hell is “Furer”? I assume you mean: Fuhrer,Führer or even Fuehrer are the acceptable spellings

  • Idiots who think they know stu

    Um, you really should read some books before you start making up “facts”. The easy one to spot is the fact Hitler wasn’t a vegetarian and in fact one of his favourite food was bratwurst.

    Umm Stalin killed more than Hitler…

  • Chris

    Stalin was “almost as bad” as Hitler?

    The author of this article clearly has no idea what he is writing about.

    Stalin made Hitler look like a choirboy.

    Mass murderer that he was, Hitler was not deranged like Stalin, as alluded to in this article.

    Read the Black Book of Communism.

  • quixoticmedia

    Idi Amin's fondness for the Scottish rose from the fact in his younger years training with the Ugandan army he was actually trained up and befriended by the Scottish wing of the British Military and there has been a bond there since. Nice article though, interesting.

  • Anonymous

    Glaring lack of research about Stalin makes me doubt how valid any of the rest of this article is. I'd like to say “nice article” but this wasn't even a good attempt at an OK article, more like a 1hr web research.

  • G. Kahn

    What about Pol Pot? He made most of these guys look like priests (oops, wrong analogy)

    Well arrogant and egotistical are the words, and yet these monsters prevailed over the common people. Any deja vu going
    on now in the USA ??? ….. like Obama. These monsters also tricked their people into putting them in power and then
    their true colors became apparent….but it was too late.
    Wake up America. DUH !:!:!:

    • irepliedtoyourcommentlol

      you have no evidence for this
      you are a racist
      the world doesnt need you
      kill yourself

    Seriously… if you're going to make a list like this you have to do your research… Hitler had stomach problems which made him not eat meat very often but his favourite foods were meat and he ate it as often as he could. Stalin killed more than Hitler.

  • myra

    hitler had ibs, so had to avoid meat at times. a vegetarian diet does not give you a free humanitarian pass. there are selfish reasons to not eat meat.

  • David O'Leary

    Sorry but old benny(mussolini) was not “Italy's answer to Hitler”.He was in power before the Nazi party even came about!In fact Nazism is modelled off Fascist ideas.He initially disliked Hitler too,Hitler is a very unimaginative politician.It's true that he was opposed to the Holocaust,but while it was his Fascism that essentially bred Nazism,Italy was never as powerful as Germany.A factor in this is the attitude of Italian people,not true for all obviously.

  • russian_girl

    Very interesting information.

  • Germán

    There is enough of lies about Hitler.

  • Gordon

    “Almost as bad as those of Hitler, the crimes committed by Soviet dictator Josef Stalin…”

    Almost? Stalin is the greatest mass murderer in the history of humanity. The number of people he killed or died beacause of his poilicies spans from 20 milion to to nearly 60 milion (the exact number of casualties is still disputed). So Stalin was much much worse than Hitler. Correct your article please.

  • Anonlol

    I stopped reading as soon as I noticed the misspelling of Fuhrer. Who the fuck misspells this?
    Besides five year olds, and retards who honestly believe Hitler was more sick than Stalin, of course.

  • ya rule

    It should be noted that Idi Amin did in fact have an affair with the Queen of England, a fact that was covered up at the time by M15 … it was from this that led Idi Amin to feel he had rightful claim to Bieng a Lord or the King of Scottland.
