Stalin is irrefutably the most evil person that has ever lived. He is possibly the most desensitized person the world has ever seen. He slaughtered every person that ever knew him to ensure that he would not be touched in his position of secretary general. He began collectivized farming to pay debts owed to foreign nations. Because his peasants were all subsistence farmers, they couldn’t afford to give away their grain and starved to death or were shot because they refused to give it up. When Stalin’s wife began complaining to him about all the people dying in her home country of Ukraine, he began flicking cigarette butts at her telling her to shut up. She stormed off into her room, and he followed her in. He shot her and went back to dinner.
Does this man sound like anything less than the most evil person in the world? Hitler was a romantic and so was Mao. Don’t go by body counts (even though Stalin has that record too), go by the absolute lack of humanity in a person. Hitler still had a soft spot for animals and had the most difficult time killing his children. When Stalin’s son was captured by Germans and they tried to exchange him for important generals, Stalin simply denied he had a son and the boy ended up committing suicide on an electric fence.

Give credit where credit is due. Stalin wins by a long shot. Of his family that wasn’t murdered, the rest committed suicide to get away from him. Even Eva didn’t do that for Hitler until their dying moments. Case closed, Stalin wins.
