Who from history would you bring back to make them punished for the wrongs that they brought onto the world? (kbin.melroy.org)

Mine is Henry Ford. He's the catalyst of the 40 hour work week and 5 days a week that has been standard to the present day. Because we're seeing now how little that really does for anyone anymore, where people are having to sacrifice more of their freedom to work second jobs or more hours than they should.

I don't think it's his fault directly for those reasons, but him thinking the 40 hour/5 day a week plan is a good one is just a poor reading into the future with the way it's gone since the establishment.

I think he's maybe just too obvious a choice and people are trying to be more creative in their answer.

Also, could the harm Hitler caused truly be inflicted back on his physical form? It seems to me like there is no way he could truly pay for what he'd done (if he were to live again).

Hitler is the kind of person you'd revive, kill again and revive to kill again until he hits the number of holocaust victims. No one single solitary death is sufficient enough.

That goes for any other leader that has allowed their citizens to die or even allowed their soldiers to die recklessly.

Every victim gets to kick his nuts once every 2 hours and he can be tortured until loosing consiousness and then he gets a cooldown to recover until death?
