For my money, I go Hitler. I think there is more to evil than than body counts.
Hitler wanted to transform the world into his vison. Yes, the commies did to, but communism is supposed to lead to "equality". National Socialism was to lead to power for Germany. Hitler was pushing his new faith, (pure German blood-he was not a Christian of any kind) and was going to enslave half the world.
He damn near did it too. Hitler was loved. He was Time's Man of the Year. And it took the near compleate destruction of half the world to stop him. He was just a monster.

Whew! That's a real puzzler, trying to determine the worst of the worst, because all of them were pretty rotten.
I'd be inclined to call a 3-way tie between Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot, with Idi Amin a close second, then Hitler and Mussolini.
Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot (along with Idi Amin) did reprehensible things to their own people, killing millions--so, of course, did the others, but the three I chose as the top committed mass murder on a scale that made Hitler look like a rank amateur.
Let's be honest, though--would anyone really want to invite any of these guys to dinner?

Hitler and Idi Amin were insane. Mussilini was fairly benevolent compared to the others. Zedong and Pol pot were abusive mainly to the elite. I'll go for Stalin. If you count Hitler as NOT insane, then I'll take hitler.

That's a very challenging one, isn't it!
Rating savage tyrants is a tiny bit like baseball statistics: the ones who hit the most home runs are not usually the ones with the highest batting average.
Mao Tse-tung holds the all-time record for people knocked into the upper deck, as many as 70 million. (Unlike baseball, no one kept official statistics for these achievements.) Think of him as the Barry Bonds of evil dictators, a sort of tyrant on steroids.
Pol Pot is like the little guy with the highest batting average: He killed as many as one-third of the entire population of his country, something that Mao could never have reached simply because China is so much more populous than Cambodia.
Stalin would surely win the award for most sinister tyrant. For his killings, he specialized in secret police door-knocks in the middle of the night, with the subjects then whisked away to SIberia, leaving family to wonder where they had disappeared to.
Hitler gets the award for the most flagrant evils, although with the 11 millions killed in his death camps he scarcely got out of the minor leagues compared with Mao's 70 million or the .333 batting average of Pol Pot. Gassing and furnaces are certainly more flagrant, however, than mere machine gunning (Pol Pot), starvation (Mao), and freezing (Stalin), as means of killing.
Mussolini and Idi Amin, as odious and destructive as their dictatorial regimes were, can hardly stand up there with the big award winners. In that great Academy of Evil in the sky (more likely, it's in another place), they would at most be considered for minor awards, such as Fanciest Uniform in a Supporting Role.

Well, Mao killed the most people- even more than Josef Stalin. But to be honest, a great many of them, I imagine, would have bathed in just as much blood had it been their opportunity to.

Pol Pot because he killed 1 in 3 cambodians and tried to destroy human progress and send his country back in time a few hundred years.

The answer is no. 6. The reason why is that he behaved to his compartiots worse than if he were their worse enemy. His (lunatic) rational was to create a society from scrats or from zero ignoring totaly the human inviduality and nature. Pol Pot
