He was a sex fiend and turned his cult into a harem.
He brain-washed them and psychologically abused people.
He withheld food if you didn't follow his rules (seems like a trend with communism, aye?).
He had a loudspeaker system spouting his rants 24-7.
He forced racial equality on people, which was actually racial equity and that gave him an excuse to further psychologically torture people by guilting them into submission.
On top of that, he smuggled drugs. He himself was a pain-med addict.
He used the drugs to pacify people and control them.
Where do you think he got all the strychnine and cyanide? He peddled in the stuff and prepared a doomsday procedure if his little "paradise" was ever exposed.
