Nah, L. Ron Hubbard. Much more destruction with his “vision”.
I think this topic should be brought back every October, leading up to Halloween. 
Francis Parker Yockey was an American who worked as a review-attorney for the Nuremberg Trials, and there saw the Face of Evil – in the presiding generals. He then wrote a fascist treatise, Imperium. An American intellectual who thought the wrong side won WWII – Satan needs a dude with that kind of vision!
Another fascist intellectual (and mystic occultist, yet) who would be helpful here: Julius Evola.
The Colonel. Whether it’s the KFC guy or the Elvis one won’t matter.
Martin Cooper—Inventor of the Cell phone
Everyone involved in Inventing the Internet, including Al Gore
Steve Russell, A.S. Douglas, William Higinbotham, or whomever invented video games since there’s so much debate on that one
Steve Jobs
Bill Gates
They’ll serve little trophies at the banquet because Everyone is a Winner! And instead of a speach and a Q&A session afterward, everyone will just text each other and FB because actual human interaction is just too damn hard to deal with
Is that how we describe the Bulwer-Lytton?
If there is to be Hitler, Reagan and Stalin, the council ought to serve big steins of beer along with those huge, salty pretzels; lots of jellybeans; and cabbage gruel along with a raw potato which you could boil yourself if you had the wherewithal. And burritos, to piss off Torquemada.

I suggest Pol Pot. Just to add a bit of empathy to the group…and then to kill all of the others as “intellectuals”. This works for whoever else is on the panel.
I actually wouldn’t recruit Hitler…because, early successes aside, he was a failure. He blew it in the end.* It’d be like hiring M. Night Shyamalan to direct your next big Hollywood blockbuster.
You might be better off with Lenin, or Mao. Perhaps even more influential—aside from acute body count, maybe—in the long run, and at least held in enough esteem that they ended up as enshrined mummies, not moldering piles of ashes flushed into the sewer.

•Al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah, I remember from an old Riverworld anthology, with an interesting interpretation of his reign’s motivations—deliberately trying to cause cataclysmic religious strife, sweeping away the old and starting fresh from a “Year Zero”—but it’s really unfair to include the real-life (er, dead?) version on the council, for any number of reasons.
•John R. Brinkley, pioneer of radio advertising and goat-testicle transplants, might be good for a charismatic propagandist. (Goebbels and P.T. Barnum are a bit obvious—and the latter might not be evil enough.)
•Anthony Comstock and/or Fredric Wertham for the censorship planning angle—hey, wasn’t it Dante who said that art is the grandchild of god?
As for activities, I suggest a rousing demonstration of executions and orgies (with the same participants. In that order.), with banquets planned by master of ceremonies Vlad Tepes.
*Ba dum bum.
Then we find out that…Hitler was a Jew! And the Holocaust was one big self-loathing! What a twist!
Zombie or not, Zyklon A was AFAIK used solely to kill insects and other vermin. It seems disingenuous to link it to the people-killing Zyklon B, and besides, as a Jew I doubt he would’ve been fond of its later use. And it’s now evil to make nitrogen? I blame John Dalton for the atomic bomb then.
It took far too long to mention this shining human being. The NVA may have been the bad guys in Vietnam, but invade Cambodia and they look like paragons of virtue by comparison.
But “empathy”? “Intellectual”? Those sound like big capitalist oppressor words. I bet you wear glasses!
L. Ron Hubbard
Ayn Rand
Thomas Edison
Henry Ford
Trofim Lysenko for indirectly killing people due to a bad theory
Mao Zedong for the same, plus all the pesky murder
The guy who put the Bomp (in the Bomp, Bomp, Bomp)
As a fan from that era, I’ve had to explain to friends and family why the Flyers were on the list. They were so bad that Rob Zombie is planning on making a movie about them 
Cher
Yes, I know she’s not dead.
Not that it matters, but in retrospect, I meant “bad” as in evil. They did win a couple Stanley Cups around then.
For the antisemitism, or for today’s American strip-malled sprawlscape?
