let's weigh the pros and cons:

- adolf hitler just wanted was to be loved for his art but all the jewish kids picked on him in recess and decided to become the most hated dictator.

- joesph stalin wanted to be the most memorable dictator out of everyone else, he even changed his name to man of steel...but clark kent stole his name and took all the credit, making poor joe unpopular

- no one really knew who benito mussolini was other than he ruled italy and killed some people...I guess, and then he died.

- saddam hussein didn't like george w bush but he did like starting wars in iran and iraq which was a let down for americans and iranians, then he died and had a romantic relationship with the devil.

- muammar gaddafi used to be hip and cool in the 80's and tried reinventing himself in 2010 so he could appeal to millennials, but they thought he was dated and in no way trendy, then they killed him in his happy safe hole.

- frieza had an army and multiple transformations and all he wanted was the dragon balls just so everyone would love him more.

DECIDE GBS!

also never forget that in Civ, he has the lowest possible aggression rating of 1, but due to a feature that automatically gives a leader -2 aggression if they turn democratic, democratic Gandhi would have an aggression rating of 255 because of the way the numbers worked

Ding ding ding. This is the correct answer. Stalin was the real villain of WWII and we should have teamed up with newly liberated Germany to take him down.

A dumb racist who need to kill themselves
It was actually Julius Caesar who wanted to expand Roman democracy to newly subjugated states in a deliberate effort to mollify them against rebellion, ensuring the expansion of civilization, freedom of religion and so on, but the senators didn't want to deal with the Dirty Gauls.
