Is Idi Amin the worst dictator in history,seeing him from the viewpoint of government successes? A lot of dictators such as Stalin and Franco, even if they were extremely authoritarian leaders, made impressive economical growths in their respective countries. But from what i've read about this dude, he literally took the power just because he was going to be arrested for using army's money for his own, he didn't had education and couldn't read, did a shit tier economic management and slaughtered about 300.000 of his own fellow countrymen.
Seriously, can someone with a knowledge on African history tell me if this incredibly inept leader had at least one redeeming quality?
Pol Pot was worse.
Just watch "The last king of Scotland"
Well,Garringan didn't exist,but is still a good movie

Are you actually illiterate or you're just contrarian enough to think that those are positive trails?
He was actually pretty garden-variety by African standards in that era. Which is horribly depressing. Fuck, the guy had Mobutu on his Western border.
Probably could've held power for 20 more years if he didn't go full retard and invade Tanzania.
Just to put it into perspective his commanding officer when he was in the King's African Rifles believed that he was literally mentally retarded.
Like not in a "wow you're dumb" way but in a "mental age of a young child" way.

Amin was just another thug nigger, if his ass was born in the JewSA he would have been a local gang lord, an 99% of African "leaders" are like this, must be the nigger genes

The sole qualification of a successful dictator in my opinion.

But Idi disappeared during the war.
I mean, he could have made it out, but it's more likely the Tanzanians just shot his ass.
