We'd supplement it with you in your pleather chaps. Would you be willing to clean up after Carter, unite east/west, and significantly reduce the worlds nuclear weapons stash as well?
Oooh, sexy.

I'm not sure I'd kill anyone. I'm rather of the opinion that the world, fucked up as it is, has worked out ok, and who knows what might happen if you started killing off past dictators? How many Russian/Polish/Jewish/French/British/American/etc Hitlers may have come to power if they hadn't died in WWII?

Columbus definitely!!! he brought tons of unneeded people to America should have been left to  Native Americans, and Europeans should of stayed in Europe that way we would have all these Europeans in North and South America, they all would stay in Europe.

Dude, one of the European powers would have found it and colonised it eventually.

Since Karl Marx was being supported by his fellow communist writing partner Engels i would instead choose to go back in time and kill Engels so that Marx would instead either starve or freeze to death.

To be fair whether you killed one or the other or not that section of history would have to have played through, with or without Marx. Someone would have filled the gap. Same principle as the Columbus one.

Which is why I opted for Lenin, since his personal agency was determining for how the 1917 revolution turned out, even though it would have happened anyway.

The Vikings had already discovered America and Columbus was an ass to the natives+I would much rather be speaking French. 

Hitler killed 20 million Jews + some other people and a clown which really would have happened anyway.  Antisemetism has been rampant in Europe since before the 1st century

The atom bomb was necessary, the casualties of an assault on Japan would have been astronomical.

What can't take a joke

The main point is Columbus didn't exactly treat the natives nicely, and neither did the British.  The French were in fact much nicer to the natives and had they been the ones to discover America (or even if the Vikings had been interested in expanding) the world would be a different, possibly much better, place

Only because the number of French settlers was about 1/100th the number of British and Spanish. They were mostly trappers and not farmers.

Yes. Trappers aren't worried about owning land. To a farmer, America was virgin land waiting to be exploited and the natives were wasting it.

I can take a joke fine, but it's pretty hard to read them in text form, especially in d+st.

Anyway the world is full of opportunists, that's what the majority is. It's just some people are better at seeing opportunity than others.

That's really a misconception. They didn't have private property but they did have community property. It was like animals and the way that they mark out the boundaries of their territory. "This is Commanche Land" "This is Ute Land" etc. The whole idea that they didn't understand what property was is hippie propaganda from the 60s.
