Hitler for starting the World War II. Hence, he had the worst and the biggest impact.

Of course, that doesn't make anyone else on this list more sympathetic.

When a certain degree of horribleness is reached, it becomes very hard to differentiate. It's like comparing two infinites. You know, like natural numbers and rational number. The latter are more numerous than the former, yet they're theoretically both the same number.

Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot and Kim have all crossed the line.

Well, Hitler was worse than Pol Pot on one issue: Pol Pot didn't invade his neighbours.

Hitler was bad, but he focused on other countries

Sure, which makes him less horrible, because he killed more worthless foreigners than his own Aryan people.

I'm pretty sure Jews, Poles, Russians, Ukrainians, French, Yugoslavians, Belgians, etc. etc. were benefiting from this distraction.
