None.
They all had their flaws and pros, but I'm not really into having a favourite leader in history or whatnot.
Take Lenin for example: He had a good idea and attitude to life, but his actions led to Stalin and the Great Purges. Stalin did some good, but a lot of bad.

[Valaran]

Seleucus I Nicator. Actual military genius, and also a bloody great administrator, political operator, propagandist, diplomat, etc. Also pretty merciful (as far as the period went), had some pretty far sighted cultural/religious policies, (apparently) a hatred of paperwork, and perhaps one of history's absolute best comeback/underdog/Rocky-Balboa-inspiration stories.

/semi-serious answer.

[Nioya]

Frederick the great of Prussia and Frederick Hohenstaufen.

[Kubra]

>his role in WWII
um

[Castellucio]

António de Oliveira Salazar. He established a stable government and brought order to Portugal in a time of great chaos and turmoil.

[Sanctissima]

Augustus Caesar.

Saved Rome from being split in two, conquered new territories, established a permanent military and generally brought order into a world of chaos.

[The Portland Territory]

Donaldo Trumpo

[Imperial Republic of JRR]

I quite enjoyed Franklin Roosevelt's actions in the Spanish-American War as President.

I love Nestor Makhno because he's my spirit animal.

Two figures come to mind.

Adolf Hitler-Yes, he was a despicable man, but he turned Germany from a economically-bankrupt democracy to an empire on the cusp of world domination within twenty years of assuming power. He was a gifted orator who rallied people to live under the swastika.

Winston Churchill-While he deserves to be criticized for his treatment of the Indian subcontinent, his oratory gift enabled him to keep Britain's spirits up during the Blitz and kept hope of victory alive.

[Thermodolia]

Donaldo Trumpo

Did you mean Berlusconi?

[Internationalist Bastard]

If I had to pick one, Chingis Han. Not by any means a great guy, or even a great leader by my standards, but I respect him the most

Winston Churchill-While he deserves to be criticized for his treatment of the Indian subcontinent, his oratory gift enabled him to keep Britain's spirits up during the Blitz and kept hope of vitory alive.

In terms of the former, it's worth noting that Germany's economic miracle was largely due to the efforts of a man by the name of Hjalmar Schacht, who was Minister of Economics and President of the Reichsbank under Hitler (at least until 1939, when they had a falling out over military policy). Hitler actually gave very little concern to economics, and is generally given far more credit for the German economy's rapid recovery than he deserves.

Maybe he thinks Teddy and FDR are the same person.

You're thinking of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Theodore Roosevelt was President in the Early 20th Century

[Great Minarchistan]

Thomas Jefferson. Doubled U.S. size and reformed the economy towards American Minarchy (died in 1860, RIP). He was also one of the independence signers and his speeches quite enlighten me. People like him should appear more often.

Actually, you're probably right, which would bother me even more than a simple name switch.

FDR wasn't from Rough Riders nor invaded Cuba. I think he meant to say WWI.

Not just you. Confusing the mighty Teddy with FDR is just wrong.

[Pasong Tirad]

Augusto Boal and Bertolt Brecht (though he wasn't a politician), for bringing to light the power that theater has in politics.

[Czrebekistan]

Calvin Coolidge. He may not be famous or responsible for winnng a war, but he valued freedom and limited government. He believed that anything more than the absolute necessity of taxes was "legalized robery" He shot down a lot of Statist bills and removed many harmful laws from existence. He was a Christian, a Libertarian, and a good president. He was basically the Ron Paul of that time.
