There's plenty of easy answers like Hitler, Mao and Stalin. But for all their atrocities, many of these men have defenders and apologists in the present day.

Which dictators have little to no redeeming qualities; The ones who completely fucked their nations up beyond repair and don't have much, if at all, apologia afterwards?

Franco and Pinochet. Usually stronger leaders have a vision for their country but these latinx dictatorships were just despotic oligarchies. Both turned their respective countries into backwater shitholes. Neither had a plan besides murdering their own people and jacking off to their troops marching in spandex

King Charles I ended up soliciting a foreign army to invade his own country and rape and murder his own subjects over the course of a Civil War he pretty much singlehandedly started so there's a serious case to be made it's him.

Francisco Macías Nguema. This dude described himself as a “Hitlerian-Marxist” (or as we call it nowadays, a NazBol).
>In a conference to discuss the future independence of Equatorial Guinea at Madrid, he suddenly began an "incoherent eulogy of the Nazis", claiming that Adolf Hitler had wanted to save Africans from colonialism and only got "confused", causing him to attempt to conquer Europe. At one point he declared himself a "Hitlerian-Marxist".
>When the Equatorial Guinean director of the Institute of Statistics, Saturnin Antonio Ndongo, published demographic data considered too low by Macías, he was dismembered to "help him learn to count".
>By 1979, his servants stated that Macías Nguema had become increasingly withdrawn, often spending the time mostly alone at his Mongomo villa. He would wander around, repeatedly saying the names of his victims, and worshiping a collection of the severed heads of his enemies, hoping that this would grant him power. Even more disturbing to the servants was one occasion, however, when he ordered a meal and table to be prepared for eight guests. He then sat there alone, casually talking "with the dead".

He was a retard and did everything he could to piss people off and make them distrust him.
Real answer is probably some African dictator like >>18100095 There's a whole lot of them with Mao 4 pests campaign tier retardation.

>>18099960
Both still have plenty of defenders
>>
>>18099960

No they didn't. Both were already backwater shitholes. Spain was a backwater shithole because of hundreds of years of mismanagement and Argentina was for largely the same reason the American south is.

Pol Pot is league of his own, its not even the scale and proportional highscore, its the conceptual simplicity of the project, theory and praxis joined together in supreme brutality, so simple, so audacious, so pure

But why? Neither had a ideology. It's similar to african dictatorships like >>18100095 but they were a little less occultist and more self righteous. Syndicalists in Spain had an ideology that they outlined in their manifesto. Republicans had an ideology that they outlined in their manifesto. Monarchists and the juntas basically chudded out over nothing. They weren't even racialists and they had no problem with their country's economy being held by a small percent of the population. Now they are the poorest most retarded country in EU despite not being a major player in WW2. If I were Spanish or Hispanic I would probably do all that I can to make white tourists feel unsafe visiting my country.

Chile, much like every other country in Latin America, was on its way to being a prosperous country up until Pinochet was brought to power by the United States. Argentina plateau'd very early because the neolib masquerading as a nazbol in charge didn't want to put his money where his mouth was and reign in the mooching oligarchs sapping his country of everything. Chile wasn't even marxist to justify red scare interventions from the CIA. They were going for something similar to the European model. But anywho, America can now enjoy having hispanic economic refugees in their economic zone and enjoy all the changes they bring from the inside. You voted for it.

>>18100353
Franco and Pinochet were reactionary conservatives. Stability and order were their ideology; not some gay idea of national rebirth.

Franco in particular was extremely successful, being a master manipulator who kept his regime in power until his death. Both Pinochet and Franco led their countries to extremely wealthy via economic liberalism.

They cannot be blamed for the incompetency of their successors.

>>18100095
This dude was a legit schizo. Like he had multiple mental health issues, cosntantly saw a specialst, and even admitted that he knew he was crazy.

>Pinochet
No that was the commie who failed his revolution solely because the army acked him
Here's a nerd going over it:

There's also a part that explains pinochet himself how he was a NPC in everything besides drip
>>
>>18099950
As much as relevance goes,
Robespierre and yhe jacocels literally invented modern reigns of terror. His legal loopholes and abuses are still in effect in many countries;
Like the full implementation of dual jurisdiction so he could pretend his platonic abuses were justified by circlejerking with fellow platonists
You can also pick and choose many African or african american dictators for video game tier villainry

"Extremely wealthy" seems overstated a bit, his economic reforms were moderately successful. I'm, like, purple-haired woke and wouldn't say Franco was especially bad as far as world dictators go because he didn't seek to radically transform the society.
>>
>>18101060
Fair. A better way to word it is that Franco and Pinochet created better societies than their predecessors.
>>
>>18099960
The worst dictators have visions

Franco and Pinochet took over from retards with dreams of Marxist dictatorship
>>
>>18099950
>Hitler
How was Hitler bad though?
It was the filthy Anglo that started WWII all Hitler did was defend himself.
>>
>>18099960
Ye but Pinochet was more of just a CIA asset so he can't be counted as his own thing.
>>
>>18101661
> Pinochet took over from retards with dreams of Marxist dictatorship
Pinochet was just an American asset, he had no real ideology.
He was just there to do whatever it is the Americans wanted him to do.
>>
>>18101695
You overestimate the role the CIA played in the coup. It was going to happen anyway due to Allende being an absolute retard.

Pinochet ran Chile on his on initiative, with the CIA providing mild assistance.
>>
>>18101700
It's not just the coup itself, it's his whole presidency that was devoted to serving America, making him just an extension of American hegemony in SA, rather his own thing.
>>
>>18101707
You sound like a butthurt commie from Chile

>>18101707
Pinochet tended to be at odds with US foreign policy, he even killed a Chilean exile on U.S soil without Uncle Sam's okay.

Pinochet didn't have an eagle on his shoulder telling him to hand over his country to the U.S, he, and every other military dictator of that era, was completely autonomous.

The "CIA puppet" shit is just a way to overinflate the power of the CIA.

I don't see how.
It was the Anglo/French that declared war.

Hitler broke treaties, it was astonishing that he wasn't ousted in 36.
