>genocide and enslavement of a race wasn't savage

He went full ISIS.

Is that Fidel? He's more like the villain that lived to see himself become the hero.

Close OP but Churchills downfall qualifies as this.

The old Bolsheviks saw themselves be made out as villians

Is he the closest man to Big Boss the world has ever gotten?

Pretty obvious one.
If he wouldn't become a villain, he wouldn't be stabbed in the back by everyone.

He was stabbed because he didn't become a villain. He kept the bastards alive.

Later on Octavian and Anthony understood the lesson and put all potential enemies on proscription lists.

Robespierre obviously

He pretty much single-handedly destroyed the republic, if that's not villainous, then I don't know what is

What happened in Ireland is not entirely Cromwells fault. Not at all.

Mao Zedong. Fought against an oppressive regime only to become probably the worst leader China has ever seen.

Zhu Yuanzhang as well. He fought to overthrow the Mongols but when he became a ruler he was excessively paranoid, murderous and cruel.

Some of the Manchu Emperors were like that as well. When you want to keep power and stability, sometimes virtue leaves you.

>he pretty much single-handedly destroyed the republic...

He was the one who actually did it, but it was inevitable.

He did nothing worse than Sulla. In fact, he did much better things than Sulla.

Sulla

...

This.

The eternal anglo is always the villain

Oh stop the republic was already faltering at that point

The last great Irish General

Again, that is not all Cromwell. Irish catholic oppresion did not start with nor end with Cromwell.

are you actually autistic.

fuck off, felix> caesar
caesar was a uncivilized nigger who suffered of megalomania

Was he ever a good guy?

The Republic was corrupt and inefficient for nearly a century. Both Caesar's actions were a net positive for Rome.
