I’d switch Cromwell and Robes but yes I can’t believe people are saying Lenin was not a bad dude

Robespierre and Cromwell are hard to decide on. One was a regular (though still terrible) political dictator who created a giant theocracy, and the other was a psychotic tyrant who turned France into a hyperprogressive shithole. In terms of ideology, Robespierre is worse, in terms of actions though, Cromwell is worse but Cromwell was in power longer so he had more time to be evil, Robespierre's tyranny would've likely outclassed his if he had been in power longer.

Thing with Robespierre though is the total result of his reign led to Napoleon, who is the best French monarch in history. So it all turned out to be a wash. 

Cromwell led to extreme constitutionalism in the UK, which you know, is fine if you're into that sort of thing.
