The insanity of the greedy, cruel, and inhumane human mind has manifested itself in many destructive power-hungry political leaders throughout history. Evaluating them strictly from the number of people they killed, tortured, starved, and stolen from, here is my list:
Notice that both of them were shoving Communism down people’s throats and imprisoned and exterminated anyone who didn’t go along with their program.
All of these dictators used terrorism, torture, and disfigurement as a way to further their ends. The appalling aspect of it is that they were able to enlist so many of their fellow countrymen to go along with their schemes. They turned millions of people into murderers, even of their own family members.
And that is what happens when we let the ego mind dominate our lives. Looking at these statistics must be a wake-up call to stop the insanity once and for all. It is time for us as a species to move to another level of consciousness. If we continue indulging in the rapacious, fearful, and hateful ego-mind we will continue to produce wicked and violent leaders and the people who are willing to help them accomplish their destructive objectives.
