What does /pol/ think about him? Was he based or was he an asshole?

How is he viewed in Belgium? Is he viewed as a hero, or as a Hitler?

Are the claims about the colonial rule substantive? I have difficulty believing that such a small nation could govern a territory the size of the congo and effectively pursue a genocide without heavily relying on the locals.
Furthermore, was the congo even capable of sustaining the population needed to produce the casualties claimed in king leopold's ghost?

How many casualties did they claim? Wasn't it about 10-15 million?
