Who is considered the best dictator in history who did not commit war crimes against their own people?

This man: Thomas Sankara. He ruled Burkina Faso from 1983 to 1987, the year of his murder.

During his goverment in Burkina Faso:

  • 2.5+ million kids were vaccinated
  • A first aid center and a well were built in every village
  • School systems were drastically improved
  • Public transport systems were completed
  • Citizens started to actively take part in politics of the state
  • Women were given rights equal to that of men

“Comrades, there is no true social revolution without the liberation of women. May my eyes never see and my feet never take me to a society where half the people are held in silence. I hear the roar of women’s silence. I sense the rumble of their storm and feel the fury of their revolt.”
― Thomas Sankara


I won’t even call him A dictator because this person was better than 99% fat politicians around the world!

Colonel Gaddafi

Why? This is why ⬇️

  • Electricity is free for all Libyans.
  • Loans in Libya are free with 0% interest as banks are state owned.
  • Homes are considered a human right in Libya – Gaddafi vowed that his parents would not get a house until everyone in Libya had a home. Gaddafi’s father has died while him, his wife and his mother were still living in a tent.
  • All newly married people in Libya receive US$ 50,000 by the government to buy their first home to help the new family.
  • Medical treatment and education are free in Libya. Before Colonel Muammar Gaddafi ruled the country, only 25% of Libyans were literate. Today the figure is around 83%.
  • If Libyans wanted to take up farming as a career, the government funded people from equipment to seeds, all for free.
  • The government subsidised 50% of the price of a new car if a Libyan citizen wanted to buy their first car.
  • Petrol price in Libya is around $0.14 per litre.
  • Libya has no debt externally and its reserves amounts to $150 billion – now globally frozen.
  • The Libyan government would fund anyone who got a degree and if they could not get employment, and they would receive income as if they were employed until they got a job.
  • The sale of Libyan oil is credited directly to the bank accounts of all Libyan citizens in proportion.
  • A family would get US $5,000 if they had a new baby to support the childs upbringing.
  • 40 loaves of bread in Libya costs around $0.15.
  • 25% of Libyans have a university degree

Who needs socialism, democracy, capitalism, egalitarianism, etc etc blah blah when your leader thinks and does things for you.
