The objectively correct answer is sankara but honorable mention to "i accidentally the whole Sierra Leone" Valentine Esegragbo Melvine Strasser who wasn't even actually performing a coup (yet, they were totally gonna) and only got made president because as the guy who finished high school he could speak enough english to read their pronouncement on the radio.

The brutal and extreme dictatorship of the Mount Paektu Bloodline of course. I wasn't a fan of Jong-Il, and I Il-Sung was before my time, but I like Jong-Un. He seems practical. And he is really goddamn fat - sometimes I lie awake at night and wonder, could Kim Jong-Un really be happy???

Keke - “Iosif - who exactly are you now?”
Stalin - “Remember the tsar? Well, I’m like a tsar.”
Keke - “You’d have done better to have become a priest.”
