If you could travel back in time and kill one person, who would it be and why? - Change history the kiwi way!

I wouldn't kill Marx, I'd kill fucking Engels. This motherfucker was a rich asshole, and he was the only reason that fat, hairy fuck was able to eat while writing his bullshit. If Engels hadn't carried his hairy freeloader friend, Karl would have starved, or maybe, for once in his life got a fucking job. The thought of that fucker going hungry, and not endlessly flinging shit at other, equally unemployable assholes all days is very amusing to me. Also, the potential consequences for the future are impossible to comprehend.

Failing that, I'd drown this fucker in the nearest river before he ever left his hometown.

Without Lenin, there would never had been a Communist Russia in the first place. If Russia hadn't gone Communist, the fear of the Bolshevik boogeyman might have stopped Mussolini, Hitler, and even fucking Mao ( and then, by proxy, Pol Pot) seizing power in their respective countries. The amount of human misery that smug, baldy fuck is responsible for is almost incomprehensible.

The lack of Bolsheviks is such a historical curveball that its honestly impossible to say if it would be better or worse. All of a sudden you remove the foundation plank for the rise of global fascism, the second world war, the cold war, and everything that happened because of these events, and with all this gone or drastically altered shit is just impossible to piece together

At a guess though, assuming more liberal revolutionaries like the mensheviks or straight up reformers wind up in charge, then Russia either continues being unstable as hell for the next decade or resumes and slightly accelerates the drive towards modernisation begun by the Tsarist government, depending on how the end of WW1 plays out. Either way its probably not going to be directly threatening its neighbours nor exporting the revolution any time soon, which means that post defeat germany's communist element will be even more at a disadvantage and may cease its wannabe revolutionary behavior before it even begins, thus removing a vast chunk of the proto-nazis credibility as "fighters of communist thugs".

Basically assuming my assumed assumptions are assumably correct, the political establishments worldwide will be a hell of a lot more chill without the "red menace" and right wing populists will be a hell of a lot less influenced/inflamed by aggressive communist antics to go fully into fascism analogues which removes the "brown menace" and kinda makes me think the world would largely go back to the pre WW1 era in terms of international politics and social/technological progress, perhaps more accelerated by the weakening of european empires enough to cause enough "managable" friction to keep military and civil rights developments bubbling away

It's a really fascinating thought experiment though, isn't it? I think Kerensky would still have fallen, but I don't think the Menshiviks would have taken over. They had a chance before Lenin's gang took power, but held back because they were such dogmatic Marxists, they though they couldn't take power due to some Marxist dogmatist bullshit requiring a Bourgeoise Dictatorship or something to occur, first. The Tsar and his whole family might not have been killed, so there's another huge historic curveball.

I cannot, for the life of me, imagine how things could have been worse than they were if the Bolsheviks hadn't been around. The world would have been a lot more chill, and I daresay a lot more democratic and, hopefully, peaceful.

Would Congo be in better shape without him? Probably. If not, at least less hands would be chopped off.

Woodrow Wilson.
More Teddy Roosevelt, Yurope doesnt have a legitimate reason to despise muricans, Jim Crow laws don't happen and world politics would be less polarized.

Muhammad ibn Saud.
Founder of the ruling dynasty in Saudi Arabia, which helped salafis rise. Granted them rising is more due to the Sykes-Picot agreements, but they existing was always a treath.

Joseph Mengele
I know is too easy but OP just said not Hitler or Stalin.

Hosni Mubarak
This pigdog just makes me sick. Corrupt deviant and disgusting.

I would say, I would actually kill every US president since the end the World War 2, aside of maybe Eisenhower. People really love to talk about evil Bolsheviks, Communists and Maoists, but they have never ever noticed the damage that the post-WW2 American elite has done to the whole world over the past 75 years.
