00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:04,100
The 20th century was the bloodiest in history.

2
00:00:05,140 --> 00:00:10,720
250 million people died in wars, mass slaughter, and political murders.

3
00:00:11,540 --> 00:00:16,960
The ideology known as communism bears the greatest responsibility for this terrible savagery.

4
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:21,600
This is an ideology that promises so-called equality and justice,

5
00:00:21,940 --> 00:00:26,020
but which brings with it only bloodshed, death, and fear.

6
00:00:26,020 --> 00:00:30,540
In this film, we shall be examining the bloody century of communism

7
00:00:30,540 --> 00:00:35,180
and seeing the terrible misery this ideology inflicted on humanity.

8
00:00:35,540 --> 00:00:40,000
It will be impossible for the world to avoid similar tragedies in the future

9
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,180
unless it learns from the past.

10
00:00:56,020 --> 00:01:26,000
Thank you.

19
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:19,080
Many German philosophers living in England were trying to formulate an ideology that would rock the world.

20
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:29,080
The first time they revealed their ideas was in the Communist Manifesto, which had been published sometime before.

21
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:40,360
One of these two philosophers was Karl Heinrich Marx, the other, Friedrich Engels.

22
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:56,760
These two believed in a philosophy known as materialism, which claims that nothing exists apart from matter.

23
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:05,760
Actually, materialism was an ancient dogma which had been put forward by the Greek thinker, Democrates.

24
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:19,760
During the French Revolution, however, a number of European thinkers took materialism back off the shelf, dusted it off and began to propagate it again.

25
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:29,760
Their aim was to do away with religious beliefs, and materialism was the only philosophy they could put up against religion.

26
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:43,500
While supporting materialism on the one hand, Marx and Engels turned to a method known as dialectics, which claimed that conflict was the basic law of nature.

27
00:04:43,500 --> 00:04:51,500
For that reason, their theories came to be called dialectical materialism.

28
00:04:52,500 --> 00:04:58,500
Dialectics was a hypothesis maintaining that all development in the universe comes about as a result of conflict.

29
00:04:59,500 --> 00:05:05,500
The two philosophers attempted to interpret the history of the world in terms of dialectical materialism.

30
00:05:06,500 --> 00:05:12,500
Marx wrote books on history and economics, attempting to make these conform to that dogma.

31
00:05:13,500 --> 00:05:16,500
And Engels did the same for science and philosophy.

32
00:05:17,500 --> 00:05:20,500
Furthermore, Marx tried to see into the future.

33
00:05:21,500 --> 00:05:29,500
In his view, the industrialized nations of Europe would shortly undergo bloody revolutions as a result of the dialectical principle of conflict.

34
00:05:32,500 --> 00:05:40,500
The working class, oppressed by the capitalists, would rise up and seize power, after which a communist system would be established.

35
00:05:40,500 --> 00:05:43,500
The concepts of religion, morality, and the family would have no place in this communist society.

36
00:05:43,500 --> 00:05:56,500
Marx and Engels were faced with a major difficulty, however.

37
00:05:57,500 --> 00:06:04,500
They viewed human history through the lens of dialectical materialism, even if they had to distort that history in the process.

38
00:06:04,500 --> 00:06:07,500
But what about natural history?

39
00:06:08,500 --> 00:06:10,500
How had living things come into existence?

40
00:06:11,500 --> 00:06:15,500
There simply had to be a materialistic answer to that important question.

41
00:06:16,500 --> 00:06:21,500
That answer was provided by another ideologue, again living in England at the time.

42
00:06:21,500 --> 00:06:39,500
As the Royal Navy vessel, the Beagle, crossed the Atlantic Ocean on its voyage of discovery, it carried a young researcher on board.

43
00:06:39,500 --> 00:06:57,500
Charles Robert Darwin

44
00:06:58,500 --> 00:07:02,500
After the long voyage on that ship, he returned to London in 1836.

45
00:07:02,500 --> 00:07:10,500
He spent the rest of his life trying to formulate a theory to explain how living things came into being.

46
00:07:17,500 --> 00:07:22,500
Darwin unveiled his theory in the Origin of Species, published in 1859.

47
00:07:22,500 --> 00:07:32,500
In it, he maintained that living things came into being in just the same way that materialist philosophy claimed.

48
00:07:33,500 --> 00:07:36,500
In other words, by a series of coincidences.

49
00:07:37,500 --> 00:07:43,500
What is more, he proposed that these coincidences work by means of conflict, as dialectic.

50
00:07:43,500 --> 00:07:52,500
In short, Darwin adopted nature to dialectical materialism.

51
00:07:56,500 --> 00:07:59,500
Darwin's theory had no scientific foundation.

52
00:08:00,500 --> 00:08:04,500
That is why prominent scientists of the time refused to take him seriously.

53
00:08:04,500 --> 00:08:13,500
Apart from two people, Karl Marx and Frederick Engels.

54
00:08:14,500 --> 00:08:19,500
Just one month after the publication of The Origin of Species on December 12, 1859,

55
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:22,500
Engels began a letter to Marx with the words,

56
00:08:25,500 --> 00:08:28,500
Darwin, whom I am just now reading, is splendid.

57
00:08:28,500 --> 00:08:33,500
A letter from Marx to Engels shared the same excitement.

58
00:08:37,500 --> 00:08:43,500
These last few weeks I have read all sorts of things, among others, Darwin's Book of Natural Selection.

59
00:08:44,500 --> 00:08:48,500
This is the book which contains the basis in natural history for our view.

60
00:08:48,500 --> 00:08:58,500
The relationship between Darwinism and Marxism grew even stronger.

61
00:08:59,500 --> 00:09:04,500
Marxists adopted the theory of evolution as their own scientific foundation.

62
00:09:05,500 --> 00:09:10,500
These duly spread under the influence of Darwinism.

63
00:09:11,500 --> 00:09:16,500
The books of Marx and Darwin appeared together in communist posters of the time.

64
00:09:16,500 --> 00:09:33,500
The Franco-Prussian War of 1871 allowed for the first experiment in the revolution Marx had dreamed of.

65
00:09:33,500 --> 00:09:49,500
France was defeated and the imperial administration overthrown, leaving a power vacuum.

66
00:09:50,500 --> 00:09:52,500
The Marxists seized their opportunity.

67
00:09:53,500 --> 00:09:58,500
Together with other small socialist groups, they provoked an uprising in the capital, Paris,

68
00:09:58,500 --> 00:10:03,500
and established a commune, an administration based on communist principles.

69
00:10:04,500 --> 00:10:08,500
Under the new regime, Paris turned into a city of terror.

70
00:10:09,500 --> 00:10:13,500
Churches and government buildings were torn apart.

71
00:10:13,500 --> 00:10:28,500
men of religion were shot by the communards.

72
00:10:28,500 --> 00:10:29,500
the communards.

73
00:10:29,500 --> 00:10:31,500
The streets were filled with barricades.

74
00:10:31,500 --> 00:10:32,500
The commune was finally suppressed by government troops that entered Paris after lengthy fighting.

75
00:10:32,500 --> 00:10:35,500
The first experiment in communism had left 1850 people.

76
00:10:35,500 --> 00:10:40,500
The commune was finally suppressed by government troops that entered Paris after lengthy fighting.

77
00:10:40,500 --> 00:10:41,500
The first experiment in communism had left 18000 dead behind it.

78
00:10:41,500 --> 00:10:43,500
The commune was finally suppressed by government troops that entered Paris after lengthy fighting.

79
00:10:43,500 --> 00:10:47,500
The first experiment in communism had left 18000 dead behind it.

80
00:10:47,500 --> 00:10:54,500
The commune was finally suppressed by government troops that entered Paris after lengthy fighting.

81
00:10:54,500 --> 00:10:58,500
The commune was finally suppressed by government troops that entered Paris after lengthy fighting.

82
00:10:58,500 --> 00:11:04,500
The first experiment in communism had left 18000 dead behind it.

83
00:11:04,500 --> 00:11:18,500
Yet how was it that Karl Marx's theories were able to spread so quickly?

84
00:11:19,500 --> 00:11:25,500
The answer to that question was provided by the famous German scientist Rudolf Virko.

85
00:11:26,500 --> 00:11:32,500
At a congress of naturalists, Virko took the floor to warn those biologists who supported Darwinism.

86
00:11:32,500 --> 00:11:41,500
Be careful of this theory, for this theory is very nearly related to the theory that caused so much dread in our neighboring country.

87
00:11:42,500 --> 00:11:44,500
Virko was right.

88
00:11:45,500 --> 00:11:51,500
Darwin's theory of evolution was of great importance in the spread of Marxism among Western intellectuals.

89
00:11:52,500 --> 00:11:58,500
The theory portrayed human beings as a species of animals, claimed that they would develop by means of conflict,

90
00:11:58,500 --> 00:12:02,500
conflict, and most important of all, denied the idea of creation.

91
00:12:03,500 --> 00:12:07,500
These three great errors formed the basis of Marxism.

92
00:12:08,500 --> 00:12:14,500
The first of the communist revolutions built on that foundation was to take place in Russia.

93
00:12:14,500 --> 00:12:15,500
Russia.

94
00:12:15,500 --> 00:12:16,500
At the beginning of the 20th century, Russia was ruled by the Tsarist regime.

95
00:12:16,500 --> 00:12:17,500
Russia was ruled by the Tsarist regime.

96
00:12:17,500 --> 00:12:18,500
In the beginning of the 20th century, Russia was ruled by the Tsarist regime.

97
00:12:18,500 --> 00:12:19,500
However, revolutionary communist ideas were built by the Tsarist regime.

98
00:12:19,500 --> 00:12:21,500
In the beginning of the 20th century, Russia was ruled by the Tsarist regime.

99
00:12:21,500 --> 00:12:26,500
In the beginning of the 20th century, Russia was ruled by the Tsarist regime.

100
00:12:26,500 --> 00:12:33,500
However, revolutionary communist ideas were beginning to spread among an increasing number of workers.

101
00:12:34,500 --> 00:12:37,500
Part of the military action was ruled by the Tsarist regime.

102
00:12:38,500 --> 00:12:43,500
In the beginning of the 20th century, Russia was ruled by the Tsarist regime.

103
00:12:44,500 --> 00:12:50,500
However, revolutionary communist ideas were beginning to spread among an increasing number of workers.

104
00:12:50,500 --> 00:13:00,500
Part of the military apparatus had also come under the ideology's influence.

105
00:13:07,500 --> 00:13:12,500
The leader of the communist movement in Russia was Vladimir Ilyich Lenin.

106
00:13:12,500 --> 00:13:26,500
The communist movement led by Lenin was known as the Bolsheviks.

107
00:13:27,500 --> 00:13:31,500
These believed that bloody revolution would be necessary for them to seize power.

108
00:13:31,500 --> 00:13:45,500
Despite the fact that they had been illegally organized for years, they had been unable to achieve their aim.

109
00:13:50,500 --> 00:13:56,500
The opportunity they were looking for came in 1914 with the outbreak of the First World War.

110
00:13:56,500 --> 00:14:16,500
That war was the bloodiest conflict that mankind had ever known.

111
00:14:17,500 --> 00:14:23,500
One of the countries involved in that war, which cost the lives of 10 million people, was Russia.

112
00:14:23,500 --> 00:14:30,500
The Russians suffered defeat after defeat in the first three years of fighting and lost 2 million dead.

113
00:14:42,500 --> 00:14:45,500
The suffering inflicted by the war dragged Russia towards revolution.

114
00:14:45,500 --> 00:14:52,500
In February 1917, army units in the capital, Petrograd, rebelled and took over the city.

115
00:14:52,500 --> 00:15:09,500
Tsar Nicholas II, who was at the front encouraging his troops, set out for the city.

116
00:15:09,500 --> 00:15:19,500
His train was stopped by revolutionary troops, however, and the Tsar was arrested.

117
00:15:20,500 --> 00:15:25,500
All symbols of the Tsarist regime were destroyed by revolutionary soldiers.

118
00:15:28,500 --> 00:15:33,500
Supporters of the revolution rejoiced in the streets.

119
00:15:33,500 --> 00:15:40,500
Most people hoped that the end of the Tsarist regime would bring happier times for Russia.

120
00:15:40,500 --> 00:15:43,500
But they were wrong.

121
00:15:43,500 --> 00:15:54,500
The Bolshevik contribution to the February 1917 revolution was actually quite minimal.

122
00:15:54,500 --> 00:15:59,500
They were poorly represented in the post-revolutionary parliament that was set up.

123
00:15:59,500 --> 00:16:17,500
The government passed into the hands of the pro-Western Kerensky, a Democrat.

124
00:16:17,500 --> 00:16:31,500
Lenin, then in exile, ordered his men to give the new government absolutely no support.

125
00:16:32,500 --> 00:16:35,500
He continued to organize the Bolsheviks for his own revolution.

126
00:16:35,500 --> 00:16:53,500
Lenin's armed militants attacked the Winter Palace, the center of government.

127
00:16:54,500 --> 00:16:58,500
They killed those guards who resisted and carried out one of the easiest coups in history.

128
00:16:58,500 --> 00:17:18,500
Soviet propaganda films made years after the event would portray the coup as a huge popular uprising started by Lenin's fiery speeches.

129
00:17:18,500 --> 00:17:35,500
The fact was, though, that the number of people who attacked the palace was less than one hundred.

130
00:17:36,500 --> 00:17:38,500
And only five people died.

131
00:17:41,500 --> 00:17:43,500
Lenin started with a silent coup.

132
00:17:44,500 --> 00:17:46,500
Yet things were not to remain so.

133
00:17:46,500 --> 00:17:51,500
The Bolsheviks attacked those army units still loyal to the Tsar.

134
00:17:52,500 --> 00:17:56,500
A terrible civil war began that would last for three long years.

135
00:17:56,500 --> 00:18:06,500
The Bolsheviks established the Red Army to prosecute that war.

136
00:18:07,500 --> 00:18:11,500
Lenin's right-hand man, Leon Trotsky, was placed at its head.

137
00:18:11,500 --> 00:18:26,500
The Red Army units and the secret police agencies set up by Lenin, known as the Cheka, had no compunction about using the most ruthless methods to deal with monarchists,

138
00:18:26,500 --> 00:18:42,500
and other anti-communist groups.

139
00:18:42,500 --> 00:18:58,500
Tsar Nicholas II, his wife, and five children were executed by order of Lenin.

140
00:18:58,500 --> 00:19:03,500
Those cities which refused to support the Bolshevik regime were ruined.

141
00:19:03,500 --> 00:19:14,500
In telegrams to his militants, Lenin ordered that all those who opposed the communist regime should be shot.

142
00:19:14,500 --> 00:19:24,500
The Bolsheviks arrested tens of thousands of people for the crime of opposing the regime.

143
00:19:25,500 --> 00:19:28,500
Most of these were tortured and executed en masse.

144
00:19:28,500 --> 00:19:43,500
The famous Russian writer Maxim Gorky described examples of Bolshevik savagery.

145
00:19:43,500 --> 00:19:55,500
In Tambov province, communists were nailed with railway spikes by their left hand and left foot to trees a meter above the soil.

146
00:19:56,500 --> 00:20:00,500
And they watched the torments of these deliberately, oddly crucified people.

147
00:20:01,500 --> 00:20:07,500
They would open a prisoner's belly, take out the small intestine, and nailing it to a tree or telegraph pole,

148
00:20:07,500 --> 00:20:13,500
they drove the man around the tree with blows, watching the intestine unwinding through the wound.

149
00:20:14,500 --> 00:20:20,500
Stripping a captured officer naked, they tore strips of skin from his shoulders in the form of shoulder straps.

150
00:20:21,500 --> 00:20:27,500
A terrible fear fell over Russia, but the communist savagery had only just begun.

151
00:20:27,500 --> 00:20:35,040
VIDEO

152
00:20:57,500 --> 00:21:02,220
When the Bolsheviks came to power, most of the population of Russia lived in the villages,

153
00:21:04,700 --> 00:21:07,200
enjoying a pretty miserable standard of living.

154
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:12,460
Most peasants were only just able to feed their families with what they produced.

155
00:21:13,540 --> 00:21:17,460
The freezing Russian winters made productive agriculture an impossibility.

156
00:21:17,460 --> 00:21:29,240
A decision taken by Lenin in 1918 inflicted an even worse disaster on millions of peasants

157
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,300
who were already living in poverty.

158
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:37,940
Private property was forbidden, and the peasants' goods were to be confiscated by the state.

159
00:21:37,940 --> 00:21:50,080
Lenin carried out that policy by means of another right-hand man,

160
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:55,120
Felix Zarzynski, the head of the Cheka, well known for his ruthlessness.

161
00:21:59,700 --> 00:22:03,240
Cheka officers descended on villages all over Russia

162
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:07,560
and began rounding up peasants' crops and livestock at gunpoint.

163
00:22:07,940 --> 00:22:16,340
A quota to be handed over by every peasant and given to the Bolsheviks was drawn up.

164
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:21,520
In order to meet that quota, most of them had to give up all that they possessed.

165
00:22:23,900 --> 00:22:27,500
Peasants who protested were silenced by the most savage means.

166
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:36,140
On 14 February 1922, one inspector who visited the Omsk region wrote,

167
00:22:37,940 --> 00:22:45,320
Abuses of position by the requisitioning detachments, frankly speaking,

168
00:22:45,660 --> 00:22:47,740
have now reached unbelievable levels.

169
00:22:48,420 --> 00:22:53,900
Systematically, the peasants who are arrested are all locked up in big, unheated barns.

170
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,560
They are then whipped and threatened with execution.

171
00:22:57,220 --> 00:23:00,340
Those who have not filled the whole of their quota are bound

172
00:23:00,340 --> 00:23:04,160
and forced to run naked all along the main street of the village

173
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,840
and then locked up in another unheated hangar.

174
00:23:15,060 --> 00:23:20,100
Lenin was enraged when he realized that the quota set for the villages would not be met.

175
00:23:20,100 --> 00:23:26,580
In 1920, he inflicted a fearful punishment on some regions that had resisted the requisitions.

176
00:23:29,780 --> 00:23:35,320
Not only would these peasants' crops be seized, but also all the seeds they possessed.

177
00:23:40,740 --> 00:23:45,120
Confiscating the seeds meant that the peasants would be unable to produce a new crop.

178
00:23:45,120 --> 00:23:48,240
In other words, they would have nothing to eat.

179
00:23:51,900 --> 00:23:53,660
Then the famine began.

180
00:23:54,860 --> 00:23:59,300
29 million people within the borders of Russia battled with starvation.

181
00:24:00,220 --> 00:24:06,900
In 1921 and 1922, 5 million starved agonizingly to death.

182
00:24:06,900 --> 00:24:15,660
Lenin watched what was happening with enormous pleasure.

183
00:24:20,900 --> 00:24:23,920
In his view, the famine was most useful.

184
00:24:24,820 --> 00:24:29,120
He calculated that it would help to destroy people's belief in God and religion

185
00:24:29,120 --> 00:24:31,880
and make them bow their heads to communism.

186
00:24:36,900 --> 00:24:45,200
In the black book of communism that sent shockwaves around the world,

187
00:24:45,740 --> 00:24:49,000
that devilish idea of Lenin's is discussed thus.

188
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,280
As one of his friends later recalled,

189
00:24:54,780 --> 00:24:59,120
Vladimir Ilyik Ulyanov had the courage to come out and say openly

190
00:24:59,120 --> 00:25:01,940
that famine would have numerous positive results.

191
00:25:02,820 --> 00:25:06,620
Famine, he explained, would bring about the next stage more rapidly.

192
00:25:06,620 --> 00:25:12,100
and usher in socialism, the stage that necessarily followed capitalism.

193
00:25:12,980 --> 00:25:17,960
Famine would also destroy faith, not only in the Tsar, but in God too.

194
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:25,620
This is what Lenin wrote to the members of the Politburo on March 19, 1922.

195
00:25:25,620 --> 00:25:32,480
The present moment favors us.

196
00:25:33,100 --> 00:25:37,080
With the help of all those starving people who are starting to eat each other,

197
00:25:37,460 --> 00:25:38,980
who are dying by the millions,

198
00:25:39,360 --> 00:25:42,400
and whose bodies litter the roadside all over the country,

199
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:47,520
it is now and only now that we can and therefore must confiscate

200
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:51,620
all church property with all the ruthless energy we can muster.

201
00:25:51,860 --> 00:25:56,340
Our only hope is the despair engendered in the masses by the famine,

202
00:25:56,740 --> 00:25:59,660
which will cause them to look at us in a favorable light,

203
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,880
or, at the very least, with indifference.

204
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,540
These communications in the Soviet archives have revealed

205
00:26:07,540 --> 00:26:10,620
that Lenin deliberately brought about that dreadful famine

206
00:26:10,620 --> 00:26:12,600
which cost five million lives.

207
00:26:13,820 --> 00:26:18,360
That is the same conclusion arrived at by the historian Richard Pipes,

208
00:26:18,360 --> 00:26:21,580
who spent years researching the archives in his book

209
00:26:21,580 --> 00:26:23,040
The Unknown Lenin.

210
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:24,580
In his view,

211
00:26:24,580 --> 00:26:27,400
For humankind at large,

212
00:26:27,820 --> 00:26:29,500
Lenin had nothing but scorn.

213
00:26:30,420 --> 00:26:32,840
Individual human beings held for Lenin

214
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:34,440
almost no interest.

215
00:26:35,120 --> 00:26:37,420
And he treated the working class

216
00:26:37,420 --> 00:26:40,200
much as a metal worker treated iron ore.

217
00:26:54,580 --> 00:27:05,340
The reason why Lenin and the other Bolsheviks

218
00:27:05,340 --> 00:27:07,020
were so utterly ruthless

219
00:27:07,020 --> 00:27:10,280
was the dialectical materialist philosophy

220
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:11,440
they so believed in.

221
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,960
This philosophy regarded human beings as a kind of animal

222
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,800
and maintained that violence and conflict

223
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,400
were necessary for the development of mankind.

224
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:33,500
Not only did Lenin regard human beings as a species of animal,

225
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,620
he also employed animal methods to train them.

226
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,660
In October 1919,

227
00:27:43,340 --> 00:27:46,100
he paid a personal visit to the Russian scientists

228
00:27:46,100 --> 00:27:47,480
Ivan Pavlov,

229
00:27:47,860 --> 00:27:50,940
famous for his conditioned reflex experiments on animals.

230
00:27:51,780 --> 00:27:55,400
Lenin wanted to impose these conditioned reflex methods

231
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,200
on the whole of Russian society.

232
00:27:58,120 --> 00:27:59,380
Pavlov was astounded.

233
00:28:00,120 --> 00:28:02,200
I want the masses of Russia

234
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,340
to follow a communistic pattern of thinking and reacting,

235
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:06,320
Lenin explained.

236
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:08,420
Pavlov was astounded.

237
00:28:09,220 --> 00:28:11,000
It seemed that Lenin wanted him

238
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,020
to do for humans what he had already done for dogs.

239
00:28:14,820 --> 00:28:16,700
Do you mean that you would like

240
00:28:16,700 --> 00:28:18,960
to standardize the population of Russia,

241
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,440
make them all behave in the same way,

242
00:28:21,500 --> 00:28:21,920
he asked?

243
00:28:22,900 --> 00:28:24,400
Exactly, replied Lenin.

244
00:28:24,940 --> 00:28:26,180
Man can be corrected.

245
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,300
Man can be made what we want him to be.

246
00:28:30,360 --> 00:28:33,980
The so-called scientific basis for that philosophy

247
00:28:33,980 --> 00:28:37,040
that regarded human beings as a species of animal

248
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,000
was Darwin's theory of evolution.

249
00:28:40,300 --> 00:28:41,780
The theory of evolution

250
00:28:41,780 --> 00:28:44,580
was the most important ideological inspiration

251
00:28:44,580 --> 00:28:46,740
behind the communist movement in Russia.

252
00:28:47,940 --> 00:28:49,700
Darwin's The Origin of Species

253
00:28:49,700 --> 00:28:51,340
was translated into Russian

254
00:28:51,340 --> 00:28:53,060
at the end of the 19th century

255
00:28:53,060 --> 00:28:56,140
and was responsible for thousands of young Russians

256
00:28:56,140 --> 00:28:58,240
turning to atheism and communism.

257
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:02,180
Russian communism was so tied to Darwinism

258
00:29:02,180 --> 00:29:04,780
that Georgi Valentinovich Plekhanov,

259
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,300
widely regarded as the founder of the movement,

260
00:29:07,780 --> 00:29:10,460
clearly stated that he regarded Marxism as

261
00:29:10,460 --> 00:29:14,120
Darwinism in its application to social science.

262
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:20,840
Plekhanov's student, Lenin,

263
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,440
indeed applied Darwinism to society

264
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,180
and mercilessly slaughtered whole societies

265
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,240
he regarded as herds of animals.

266
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:40,180
The truth is that human beings

267
00:29:40,180 --> 00:29:41,760
are not a species of animal,

268
00:29:42,180 --> 00:29:43,620
but are honorable beings

269
00:29:43,620 --> 00:29:45,880
created by God in possession of a soul.

270
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,640
The reason for their existence on earth

271
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,640
is not, as communists and Darwinists would assert,

272
00:29:52,060 --> 00:29:53,720
conflict, war and bloodshed,

273
00:29:54,100 --> 00:29:55,980
but for them to display a morality

274
00:29:55,980 --> 00:29:57,560
that is pleasing to God.

275
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,860
Only when man has understood this concept,

276
00:30:01,260 --> 00:30:01,940
in other words,

277
00:30:02,380 --> 00:30:04,500
only when he lives by true religion,

278
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:06,900
will he find peace and happiness.

279
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:08,340
The end of Lenin,

280
00:30:08,660 --> 00:30:09,800
who denied that fact,

281
00:30:10,100 --> 00:30:11,240
is a terrible warning.

282
00:30:18,020 --> 00:30:20,020
From 1922 on,

283
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,220
an increasingly serious sickness

284
00:30:22,220 --> 00:30:24,200
has slowly began to paralyze him.

285
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,920
He spent most of 1923 in a wheelchair,

286
00:30:34,220 --> 00:30:35,820
suffering from terrible headaches.

287
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,120
In March 1923,

288
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:47,500
he had a stroke

289
00:30:47,500 --> 00:30:49,720
and was thenceforth unable

290
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:50,780
to speak normally.

291
00:30:55,780 --> 00:30:57,880
In the final months of his life,

292
00:30:58,340 --> 00:31:00,120
those who saw Lenin were terrified.

293
00:31:01,060 --> 00:31:02,280
His face had taken on

294
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:03,460
a peculiar expression

295
00:31:03,460 --> 00:31:05,160
and he was half-manned.

296
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:10,620
The final photograph

297
00:31:10,620 --> 00:31:11,460
taken of him

298
00:31:11,460 --> 00:31:12,820
shortly before his death

299
00:31:12,820 --> 00:31:14,400
was utterly ghastly.

300
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:21,820
God speaks of the fate

301
00:31:21,820 --> 00:31:22,820
of such cruel people

302
00:31:22,820 --> 00:31:23,500
in the Quran.

303
00:31:26,180 --> 00:31:27,620
Then the final fate

304
00:31:27,620 --> 00:31:28,820
of those who did evil

305
00:31:28,820 --> 00:31:29,760
will be the worst

306
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:31,780
because they denied God's signs

307
00:31:31,780 --> 00:31:32,780
and mocked at them.

308
00:31:46,180 --> 00:31:49,960
Lenin died on January 21st, 1924.

309
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:52,360
The Bolsheviks organized

310
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,080
a huge funeral ceremony

311
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:54,680
for Lenin.

312
00:32:01,780 --> 00:32:09,740
The leaders of the Communist Party

313
00:32:09,740 --> 00:32:11,260
decided to have his body,

314
00:32:11,580 --> 00:32:13,080
which had a tremendous importance

315
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:13,640
for them,

316
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:14,640
embalmed.

317
00:32:17,100 --> 00:32:19,380
Among those bearing Lenin's coffin

318
00:32:19,380 --> 00:32:20,940
was the next dictator

319
00:32:20,940 --> 00:32:22,060
of Soviet Russia,

320
00:32:22,940 --> 00:32:23,780
Joseph Stalin.

321
00:32:23,780 --> 00:32:33,520
Stalin would rule Soviet Russia

322
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,240
for nearly 30 years

323
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,120
and establish a regime

324
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:38,960
of such bloodshed and terror

325
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:40,680
that would even surpass

326
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:41,420
that of Lenin.

327
00:32:41,420 --> 00:32:54,340
All the historical facts

328
00:32:54,340 --> 00:32:55,820
we have so far considered

329
00:32:55,820 --> 00:32:57,160
have an important moral

330
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:57,940
for mankind.

331
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:00,340
False ideas can lead

332
00:33:00,340 --> 00:33:01,720
to disasters for people

333
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:02,680
and societies.

334
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:04,760
Communism is one such

335
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:05,580
false idea

336
00:33:05,580 --> 00:33:07,960
and it inflicted dreadful suffering

337
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:08,660
on the world

338
00:33:08,660 --> 00:33:10,080
during the 20th century.

339
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,740
One of the fundamental errors

340
00:33:12,740 --> 00:33:13,520
of Communism

341
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:14,940
is that it believes conflict

342
00:33:14,940 --> 00:33:16,460
to be an unchanging law

343
00:33:16,460 --> 00:33:16,940
of nature.

344
00:33:17,740 --> 00:33:18,500
The so-called

345
00:33:18,500 --> 00:33:19,800
scientific justification

346
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:20,720
for this view

347
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:21,840
is found in the theory

348
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:22,480
of evolution,

349
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:23,780
which says that

350
00:33:23,780 --> 00:33:25,360
the differences between people

351
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,540
necessarily lead to war,

352
00:33:27,900 --> 00:33:28,220
fighting,

353
00:33:28,580 --> 00:33:29,200
and conflict.

354
00:33:29,540 --> 00:33:30,560
According to this view,

355
00:33:30,940 --> 00:33:31,960
called dialectics,

356
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:33,100
every class,

357
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:34,100
every nation,

358
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:35,160
and every society

359
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:36,760
is obliged to fight

360
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:37,800
every other one

361
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:39,200
and this is a law

362
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:39,800
of nature.

363
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:41,720
That view stamped its mark

364
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:43,440
all over the 20th century

365
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,260
and is the common inspiration

366
00:33:45,260 --> 00:33:46,600
behind both the communist

367
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:47,860
savagery we have seen

368
00:33:47,860 --> 00:33:48,500
in this film

369
00:33:48,500 --> 00:33:49,900
and also behind

370
00:33:49,900 --> 00:33:50,940
that of fascism,

371
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:52,120
which appears to be

372
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:53,160
the complete opposite

373
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:53,920
of communism.

374
00:33:54,300 --> 00:33:55,420
It is only possible

375
00:33:55,420 --> 00:33:56,060
for mankind

376
00:33:56,060 --> 00:33:57,580
to escape this cycle

377
00:33:57,580 --> 00:33:58,220
of violence

378
00:33:58,220 --> 00:33:59,280
by coming to know

379
00:33:59,280 --> 00:33:59,900
the purpose

380
00:33:59,900 --> 00:34:01,060
behind its existence.

381
00:34:02,060 --> 00:34:03,080
Human beings

382
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:04,020
are not a species

383
00:34:04,020 --> 00:34:04,600
of animal

384
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,080
that emerge by chance

385
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:07,720
and live only to fight

386
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:09,060
as Darwinists,

387
00:34:09,340 --> 00:34:09,780
communists,

388
00:34:09,860 --> 00:34:10,880
and fascists believe.

389
00:34:12,020 --> 00:34:13,140
Human beings

390
00:34:13,140 --> 00:34:14,320
are noble beings

391
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:15,740
created by God

392
00:34:15,740 --> 00:34:16,980
and possessing

393
00:34:16,980 --> 00:34:17,740
his soul.

394
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:19,900
And the purpose of man

395
00:34:19,900 --> 00:34:20,660
is to learn

396
00:34:20,660 --> 00:34:21,820
and to live

397
00:34:21,820 --> 00:34:23,320
by that pleasing morality

398
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:24,040
that God

399
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:24,800
has taught him.

400
00:34:25,460 --> 00:34:26,400
In the next section,

401
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:27,740
we shall continue

402
00:34:27,740 --> 00:34:28,540
to examine

403
00:34:28,540 --> 00:34:29,380
the disasters

404
00:34:29,380 --> 00:34:30,900
that communist ideology,

405
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:32,840
which rejects that truth,

406
00:34:33,220 --> 00:34:34,580
has inflicted on humanity.

407
00:34:34,580 --> 00:34:38,620
The Bloody History of Communism,

408
00:34:38,740 --> 00:34:39,320
Part 2

409
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,760
Stalin's regime of fear,

410
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:42,820
death camps,

411
00:34:43,100 --> 00:34:44,100
and secret murders,

412
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:45,980
the Soviet-Russian genocide

413
00:34:45,980 --> 00:34:46,740
of Muslims,

414
00:34:47,300 --> 00:34:49,200
Stalin's scientists killed

415
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:50,580
for refusing to accept

416
00:34:50,580 --> 00:34:51,660
the theory of evolution.

417
00:34:55,340 --> 00:34:56,620
Do not miss

418
00:34:56,620 --> 00:34:58,340
The Bloody History of Communism,

419
00:34:58,620 --> 00:34:59,200
Part 2

420
00:35:04,580 --> 00:35:15,060
In the first part of this film,

421
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:16,320
we examined the birth

422
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:16,980
and development

423
00:35:16,980 --> 00:35:18,400
of communist ideology.

424
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:20,380
As we have seen,

425
00:35:20,580 --> 00:35:21,900
no matter how much

426
00:35:21,900 --> 00:35:22,460
they promised

427
00:35:22,460 --> 00:35:23,480
they would bring peace

428
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:24,780
and justice to the world,

429
00:35:25,300 --> 00:35:26,600
Marx and Engels' theory

430
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:27,580
actually brought

431
00:35:27,580 --> 00:35:29,260
only blood and death.

432
00:35:29,980 --> 00:35:31,160
Taking Darwin's theory

433
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:31,740
of evolution

434
00:35:31,740 --> 00:35:32,880
as its so-called

435
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:33,980
scientific basis,

436
00:35:33,980 --> 00:35:35,700
communist ideology

437
00:35:35,700 --> 00:35:36,700
spread rapidly,

438
00:35:37,180 --> 00:35:38,180
witnessing its first

439
00:35:38,180 --> 00:35:39,220
revolution in Russia.

440
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:41,720
After taking power,

441
00:35:42,220 --> 00:35:42,560
Lenin,

442
00:35:42,700 --> 00:35:43,660
who led the revolution,

443
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:45,200
set up a dictatorship

444
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:46,460
and spread terror

445
00:35:46,460 --> 00:35:47,420
over the length

446
00:35:47,420 --> 00:35:48,500
and breadth of Russia.

447
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:49,640
Today,

448
00:35:49,820 --> 00:35:50,800
we know that Lenin

449
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:51,820
had not the slightest

450
00:35:51,820 --> 00:35:53,000
feeling of compassion

451
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:53,740
for his enemies

452
00:35:53,740 --> 00:35:55,000
and that he had

453
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:56,000
tens of thousands

454
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:56,700
of opponents

455
00:35:56,700 --> 00:35:57,540
of the regime

456
00:35:57,540 --> 00:35:58,680
tortured to death

457
00:35:58,680 --> 00:35:59,280
or shot.

458
00:36:00,220 --> 00:36:00,620
Furthermore,

459
00:36:00,900 --> 00:36:02,200
we also know

460
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:02,920
that the famine

461
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:03,800
caused by his

462
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:04,880
mistaken policies

463
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:06,320
led to the deaths

464
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:07,280
of five million

465
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:08,100
innocent people.

466
00:36:09,260 --> 00:36:09,940
These facts,

467
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:11,840
confirmed by the archives,

468
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:13,820
reveal the bloody history

469
00:36:13,820 --> 00:36:15,120
of communism to all.

470
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:17,420
The bloodiest pages

471
00:36:17,420 --> 00:36:18,620
of that bloody history,

472
00:36:18,780 --> 00:36:19,060
however,

473
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:19,900
were written

474
00:36:19,900 --> 00:36:21,020
by another dictator,

475
00:36:21,260 --> 00:36:22,620
a man who left

476
00:36:22,620 --> 00:36:24,060
even Lenin in the shade.

477
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:26,120
The dictator was Stalin,

478
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:27,640
one of the worst

479
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:28,880
murderers in history.

480
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:31,100
In this part of the film,

481
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:32,360
we shall be seeing

482
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:32,980
the murders

483
00:36:32,980 --> 00:36:34,620
committed by Stalin's regime

484
00:36:34,620 --> 00:36:36,340
together with the dimensions

485
00:36:36,340 --> 00:36:37,380
of the disasters

486
00:36:37,380 --> 00:36:38,400
that Darwinism

487
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:39,860
has visited on the world.

488
00:36:39,860 --> 00:36:40,480
A coup!

489
00:36:40,860 --> 00:36:40,880
A coup!

490
00:36:40,940 --> 00:36:45,500
A coup!

491
00:36:45,500 --> 00:36:45,940
A coup!

492
00:36:45,940 --> 00:36:46,480
A coup!

493
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:46,500
A coup!

494
00:36:46,500 --> 00:36:47,500
A coup!

495
00:36:47,500 --> 00:37:00,280
A coup!

496
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:30,260
Thank you.

497
00:37:30,280 --> 00:38:00,260
Thank you.

Thank you.

500
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:30,260
Thank you.

501
00:39:30,260 --> 00:39:32,260
Thank you.

502
00:40:00,260 --> 00:40:02,260
Thank you.

503
00:40:30,260 --> 00:40:38,260
Thank you.

504
00:41:00,260 --> 00:41:02,260
Thank you.

505
00:41:02,260 --> 00:41:04,260
Thank you.

506
00:41:04,260 --> 00:41:12,260
Thank you.

507
00:41:12,260 --> 00:41:14,260
Thank you.

508
00:41:42,260 --> 00:41:44,260
Thank you.

509
00:42:12,260 --> 00:42:14,260
Thank you.

510
00:42:14,260 --> 00:42:16,260
Thank you.

511
00:42:16,260 --> 00:42:18,260
Thank you.

512
00:42:46,260 --> 00:42:48,260
Thank you.

513
00:42:48,260 --> 00:42:50,260
Thank you.

514
00:43:18,260 --> 00:43:20,260
Thank you.

515
00:43:48,260 --> 00:43:50,260
Thank you.

516
00:43:50,260 --> 00:43:52,260
Thank you.

517
00:43:52,260 --> 00:43:54,260
Thank you.

518
00:43:54,260 --> 00:43:56,260
Thank you.

519
00:43:56,260 --> 00:43:58,260
Thank you.

520
00:43:58,260 --> 00:44:00,260
Thank you.

521
00:44:00,260 --> 00:44:02,260
Thank you.

522
00:44:02,260 --> 00:44:04,260
Thank you.

523
00:44:04,260 --> 00:44:06,260
Thank you.

524
00:44:06,260 --> 00:44:08,260
Thank you.

525
00:44:08,260 --> 00:44:10,260
Thank you.

526
00:44:10,260 --> 00:44:12,260
Thank you.

527
00:44:12,260 --> 00:44:14,260
Thank you.

528
00:44:14,260 --> 00:44:16,260
Thank you.

529
00:44:16,260 --> 00:44:18,260
Thank you.

530
00:44:18,260 --> 00:44:20,260
Thank you.

531
00:44:20,260 --> 00:44:22,260
Thank you.

532
00:44:22,260 --> 00:44:24,260
Thank you.

533
00:44:24,260 --> 00:44:28,260
Thank you.

534
00:44:28,260 --> 00:44:30,260
Thank you.

535
00:44:30,260 --> 00:44:32,260
Thank you.

536
00:44:32,260 --> 00:44:34,260
Thank you.

537
00:45:02,260 --> 00:45:07,120
Millions of people regarded as enemies of the state were worked to death in them under

538
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:10,100
the most terrible conditions.

539
00:45:10,100 --> 00:45:14,380
Some were put to work laboring on canals in the blazing heat.

540
00:45:14,380 --> 00:45:19,460
Others were sent off to break rocks in the freezing cold of Siberia.

541
00:45:19,460 --> 00:45:24,820
These people, forced to perform hard labor under the worst possible conditions, soon

542
00:45:24,820 --> 00:45:27,920
turned into living skeletons.

543
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:56,680
The great majority never left the camps alive.

544
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,960
Joseph Stalin was delighted by all this.

545
00:45:59,960 --> 00:46:05,960
In a speech to the Communist Party Congress in 1934, he declared collectivization to be

546
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:11,680
a great success and was warmly applauded by the delegates.

547
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:30,960
One by one, Stalin's closest associates took the floor and declared what a genius he was.

548
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:40,240
However, a secret vote at the end of the Congress produced an entirely unexpected result.

549
00:46:40,240 --> 00:46:53,520
One thousand nine hundred delegates, three hundred voted against Stalin.

550
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:55,520
Stalin was stunned.

551
00:46:55,520 --> 00:47:02,800
The ballot forms were immediately collected and burned and the vote declared invalid.

552
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:10,800
It was then announced that Stalin had been unanimously elected Secretary General of the Communist Party.

553
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:14,080
This was not the end of the matter, however.

554
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:20,080
Stalin decided that that treachery would not go unpunished.

555
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:35,360
One thousand of the one thousand nine hundred delegates were killed within a few months by Stalin's secret police, the NKVD.

556
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:44,080
Stalin had Sergei Kirov, a popular figure who got a larger ovation than Stalin at the Congress, assassinated.

557
00:47:44,080 --> 00:48:00,080
He then staged a huge funeral ceremony in his memory.

558
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:12,080
Stalin walked behind the coffin of the man he himself had had murdered.

559
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:26,080
Dozens of people linked to Kirov were disposed of by the NKVD over the next few weeks.

560
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:35,080
Many officials at the most senior levels of the state were killed by order of Stalin during the 1930s.

561
00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:41,080
Some were made to undergo show trials, duly found guilty of all charges and executed.

562
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:57,080
It was necessary to be a loyal sycophant to survive by Stalin's side.

563
00:48:57,080 --> 00:49:13,080
Stalin had many able people disposed of, out of a fear they might emerge as rivals to him.

564
00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:16,080
Some of these were army generals.

565
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:28,080
In 1938 and 1939, the most prominent generals in the Soviet army were either killed by the secret police or condemned to death at rigged trials.

566
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:49,080
This unbelievable policy of dissemination on Stalin's part meant the country was defenseless in the face of Nazi aggression.

567
00:49:49,080 --> 00:50:11,080
Nazi Germany indeed took advantage of the opportunity thus presented to it and invaded Russia on June 22, 1941.

568
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:19,080
German units advanced hundreds of kilometers within a few weeks, burning and destroying everywhere they passed through.

569
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:30,080
Stalin had ignored intelligence reports warning of the likelihood of invasion and accused those commanders who forwarded those communications to him of cowardice.

570
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:40,080
As a result, the Nazi menace that Stalin had regarded as unimportant, eventually forced the Soviet Union into the bloodiest war in history.

571
00:50:40,080 --> 00:51:05,080
Twenty-five million Soviet citizens would lose their lives in the war between 1941 and 1945.

572
00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:22,080
The Nazi menace that Stalin had been killed by Stalin.

573
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:30,080
However, the number of Soviet citizens killed by Stalin was even higher than that of the number killed by the Nazis.

574
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:39,080
Between 1937 and 1938 alone, seven million people were detained for political offenses, of whom one million were killed.

575
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:45,080
The number of people killed throughout Stalin's regime would eventually reach 40 million.

576
00:51:45,080 --> 00:52:00,080
Stalin forced millions of people living under his regime from their homelands by means of internal exile orders issued in a single night.

577
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:05,080
People were crammed into trains and sent off to the dark lands of Siberia.

578
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:30,080
Stalin implemented a particularly cruel policy against the Muslim people living in the Caucasus and the Crimea.

579
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:49,080
In one night, May 18, 1944, 400,000 Muslim Tartars living in the Crimea were rounded up from their towns and villages and sent to labor camps in the most distant corners of the Soviet Union.

580
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:56,080
More than half of these were to die before they ever reached their destinations.

581
00:52:56,080 --> 00:53:08,080
Mounted NKVD units sent to Muslim villages slaughtered tens of thousands of Muslim women, children and the elderly included.

582
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:27,080
Behind them were left thousands of deserted Muslim villages.

583
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:32,080
The traces of some of Stalin's terrible slaughter have come to the light of day in our own time.

584
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:40,080
An NKVD mass grave containing 30,000 bodies was found in the vicinity of the city of Minsk.

585
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:46,080
Some of the bones bore torture marks, and there were bullet holes in most of the skulls.

586
00:53:46,080 --> 00:54:15,080
This is what communism brought to the world.

587
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:20,040
The more capital embedded in the city of Indy Israel won the United States is Moses'

588
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:21,080
The邊 nude.

589
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:40,900
However, the tota who and John cut for the western enemy's

590
00:54:40,900 --> 00:54:47,180
While the communist system was killing millions, it also terrorized those whom it left alive.

591
00:54:58,260 --> 00:55:00,900
Communism was literally a regime of terror.

592
00:55:01,500 --> 00:55:06,340
It regarded society as a collection of animals that needed to be managed,

593
00:55:06,900 --> 00:55:10,620
and believed that the only way to do that was by fear and terror.

594
00:55:10,900 --> 00:55:40,780
Stalin would be applauded for minutes on end at Communist Party Congresses.

595
00:55:41,580 --> 00:55:46,420
The reason for that was because everyone there was terrified of being the first to stop.

596
00:55:49,380 --> 00:55:54,980
Stalin had already killed a number of delegates who had failed to demonstrate the necessary enthusiasm.

597
00:55:54,980 --> 00:56:17,020
The communist party organized frequent rallies to protest against so-called traitors and agents.

598
00:56:17,020 --> 00:56:20,540
Anyone could be a target of that campaign.

599
00:56:21,580 --> 00:56:29,020
People earlier regarded as exemplary communists could later appear pictured in the columns of Pravda like savage dogs.

600
00:56:29,020 --> 00:56:36,700
Everyone was terrified the same thing might happen to them.

601
00:56:36,700 --> 00:56:45,140
One favored tool of the reign of terror was mass executions.

602
00:56:46,020 --> 00:56:49,780
Thousands of people were publicly executed during Stalin's reign.

603
00:56:49,780 --> 00:57:04,220
Class of alegria

604
00:57:04,220 --> 00:57:05,720
Noян

605
00:57:05,720 --> 00:57:18,580
No

606
00:57:18,580 --> 00:57:23,580
Communism's reign of terror also dealt a heavy blow to the arts.

607
00:57:23,580 --> 00:57:30,580
Pre-communist Russian society had enjoyed a rich culture with great writers, painters, and composers.

608
00:57:30,580 --> 00:57:37,580
Yet with the advent of communism, ugliness and crudity came to dominate Russian art.

609
00:57:37,580 --> 00:57:45,580
The new style was known as Socialist Realism and locked all Russia within narrow, lifeless constraints.

610
00:57:48,580 --> 00:58:03,580
The frozen nature of communist art is a result of the materialist philosophy that constitutes its world view.

611
00:58:03,580 --> 00:58:09,580
Materialist philosophy regards human beings as simply a collection of matter

612
00:58:09,580 --> 00:58:15,580
and is a simplistic belief that seeks to reduce everything to the same matter.

613
00:58:15,580 --> 00:58:23,580
The application of this to art ended in a complete fiasco, as it did in all other spheres.

614
00:58:23,580 --> 00:58:29,580
True art is an expression of wonder at the aesthetic and other delights given to man by God.

615
00:58:29,580 --> 00:58:38,580
In order for art to develop, it is necessary for that yearning in the soul that comes from creation to be freely expressed.

616
00:58:38,580 --> 00:58:48,580
In communist dictatorships, however, that atmosphere of freedom was completely eliminated and art died as people came under constant pressure.

617
00:58:48,580 --> 00:59:01,580
Another blow dealt to society came in the field of science.

618
00:59:01,580 --> 00:59:09,580
During Stalin's time, all the scientists in the country were forced to sign oaths of loyalty to dialectical materialism.

619
00:59:09,580 --> 00:59:18,580
All scientific research was twisted to agree with materialist dogma.

620
00:59:18,580 --> 00:59:24,580
The theory of evolution enjoyed a special place among those dogmas so fiercely defended by Stalin.

621
00:59:24,580 --> 00:59:29,580
The Soviet dictator's devotion to the theory went right back to his youth.

622
00:59:29,580 --> 00:59:39,580
Stalin had been brought up in a religious household and had been religiously educated in a church school.

623
00:59:39,580 --> 00:59:52,580
Yet, just as he was preparing to become a priest, he read a summary of Darwin's origin of species and his life suddenly changed.

624
00:59:52,580 --> 00:59:58,580
Stalin was easily deceived by the superficial claims of Darwinism and became an atheist.

625
00:59:58,580 --> 01:00:03,580
In that state of ignorance, he promptly joined the ranks of the Bolsheviks.

626
01:00:13,580 --> 01:00:21,580
The theory of evolution again formed Stalin's most important source of inspiration when he came to power many years later.

627
01:00:22,580 --> 01:00:31,580
He was especially keen that the theory should be taught in Soviet schools and declared the intention behind that.

628
01:00:31,580 --> 01:00:37,580
There are three things that we do to disabuse the minds of our seminary students.

629
01:00:37,580 --> 01:00:43,580
We had to teach them the age of the earth, the geologic origin and Darwin's teachings.

630
01:00:43,580 --> 01:00:55,580
One of the most striking indications of Stalin's dogmatic attachment to the theory of evolution was the Trofim-Lisenko affair.

631
01:00:55,580 --> 01:01:00,580
Trofim-Lisenko was a young agricultural expert in the 1930s.

632
01:01:00,580 --> 01:01:02,580
He had an interesting idea.

633
01:01:02,580 --> 01:01:21,580
He rejected the Mendelian genetics that had been accepted by the scientific community since the early 20th century and supported instead the idea that living things evolve and acquire their characteristics from the environment, originally proposed by Lamarck, a forerunner of Darwin.

634
01:01:21,580 --> 01:01:34,580
Stalin was impressed by Lisenko's nonsense and made him president of the Lenin All-Union Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

635
01:01:34,580 --> 01:01:53,580
The years that followed saw the preparation of an agricultural program in the light of Lisenko's idea of evolution and it was forcibly imposed on villages by party officials.

636
01:01:53,580 --> 01:02:05,580
Lisenko believed that if seeds to be sown were kept for a long time in cold water, they would evolve according to their chilly environment.

637
01:02:05,580 --> 01:02:13,580
In order to test that idea, tons of seeds were kept in cold water and then sown in the steppes of Siberia.

638
01:02:13,580 --> 01:02:16,580
They were all ruined, of course.

639
01:02:16,580 --> 01:02:33,580
Lisenko's theory dragged Soviet agriculture back by decades.

640
01:02:33,580 --> 01:02:39,580
Yet Stalin continued to support Lisenko up until his death.

641
01:02:39,580 --> 01:02:49,580
Stalin was so slavishly attached to Lisenko's theory of evolution that he had no hesitation over having those scientists who rejected it killed.

642
01:02:49,580 --> 01:02:55,580
One of these was the world-renowned Russian geneticist Nikolai Ivanovich Vavilov.

643
01:02:55,580 --> 01:02:59,580
Vavilov was arrested one night by order of Stalin.

644
01:02:59,580 --> 01:03:07,580
He was photographed like a criminal and sent to the labor camps on the grounds of planning to sabotage Soviet agriculture.

645
01:03:09,580 --> 01:03:21,580
He died in one of those camps in 1943.

646
01:03:21,580 --> 01:03:33,580
Other Russian scientists who believed in Mendelian genetics such as Murlov, Levitt and Levin were taken from their homes by members of the secret service in the middle of the night.

647
01:03:33,580 --> 01:03:36,580
Most were executed.

648
01:03:36,580 --> 01:04:03,580
Stalin, who carried out all this savagery in the name of materialist philosophy and communist ideology, died in 1953.

649
01:04:03,580 --> 01:04:18,580
According to a KGB report revealed in 1991, he had had 42 million people killed during his regime.

650
01:04:18,580 --> 01:04:30,580
Stalin's cold and arrogant features were a reflection of the dark world of communism itself.

651
01:04:30,580 --> 01:04:35,580
God describes the position of such cruel rulers in the Koran.

652
01:04:35,580 --> 01:04:44,580
Whenever He holds the upper hand, He goes about the earth corrupting it, destroying people's crops and breeding stock.

653
01:04:44,580 --> 01:04:47,580
God does not love corruption.

654
01:04:47,580 --> 01:04:53,580
When He is told to have fear for God, He is seized by pride which drives Him to wrongdoing.

655
01:04:53,580 --> 01:04:56,580
Hell will be enough for Him.

656
01:04:56,580 --> 01:04:58,580
What an evil resting place!

657
01:04:58,580 --> 01:05:05,580
God will not grow for Him!

658
01:05:05,580 --> 01:05:06,580
God sees the answer.

659
01:05:06,580 --> 01:05:09,580
You need a soul to murder!

660
01:05:09,580 --> 01:05:10,580
Isn't he right!

661
01:05:10,580 --> 01:05:13,580
Are the human?

662
01:05:13,580 --> 01:05:15,580
You need a soul toения,arz-righted.

663
01:05:15,580 --> 01:05:17,580
When He is being a child into a vain enemy of his limbs.

664
01:05:17,580 --> 01:05:19,580
Right on Mélenchamon, he doesn't want to kill.

665
01:05:19,580 --> 01:05:42,540
The Red Terror in the Soviet Union

666
01:05:42,540 --> 01:05:44,360
continued after the death of Stalin.

667
01:05:45,260 --> 01:05:46,440
The new Soviet leaders

668
01:05:46,440 --> 01:05:48,620
partially moderated the regime at home,

669
01:05:48,620 --> 01:05:51,360
but exported Communist savagery abroad.

670
01:06:00,980 --> 01:06:03,940
The Hungarian bid for new independence

671
01:06:03,940 --> 01:06:06,540
from Moscow that began in 1956

672
01:06:06,540 --> 01:06:10,000
was bloodily suppressed by Red Army tanks.

673
01:06:11,720 --> 01:06:15,120
The streets of Budapest were filled with corpses.

674
01:06:18,620 --> 01:06:27,060
Another resistance movement in Czechoslovakia

675
01:06:27,060 --> 01:06:28,880
in the spring of 1968

676
01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:31,820
was again ruthlessly put down by the Red Army.

677
01:06:31,820 --> 01:06:52,920
Then the Red Army invaded Afghanistan in 1979.

678
01:06:52,920 --> 01:07:07,120
Before the invasion,

679
01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:10,100
Afghan communists had staged a revolution

680
01:07:10,100 --> 01:07:11,960
in the country with Soviet support

681
01:07:11,960 --> 01:07:15,380
and staged mass killings of religious figures there.

682
01:07:15,380 --> 01:07:24,200
The Red Army entered the country

683
01:07:24,200 --> 01:07:26,420
in order to increase the scale of the slaughter.

684
01:07:36,120 --> 01:07:37,900
In the ten years that followed,

685
01:07:38,440 --> 01:07:42,320
Soviet units rained death down on the Muslim Afghan people.

686
01:07:42,320 --> 01:08:03,880
Afghan villages were ruthlessly bombed

687
01:08:03,880 --> 01:08:05,800
by Soviet planes and helicopters,

688
01:08:05,800 --> 01:08:08,000
and Red Army units inflicted

689
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:10,060
the most barbaric tortures on Muslims.

690
01:08:10,060 --> 01:08:20,060
¶¶

691
01:08:40,060 --> 01:08:46,000
One child, whose family were all killed by Soviet troops, described the Communist savagery.

692
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:57,340
They shot my father three times, in his chest, his shoulder, and the back of his neck. He fell down dead.

693
01:09:00,700 --> 01:09:04,080
My brother and his commander got very angry and fought back.

694
01:09:06,220 --> 01:09:09,000
My brother jumped up and grabbed one of their weapons.

695
01:09:10,060 --> 01:09:17,020
More Russians came and cut all my brother's fingers off with a bayonet.

696
01:09:17,960 --> 01:09:19,600
So, of course, he was helpless.

697
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:35,580
After his fingers had been cut off, they beat him.

698
01:09:36,740 --> 01:09:39,540
They shot him in one ear and the bullet came out the other.

699
01:09:40,060 --> 01:09:46,020
They shot him in one ear and they shot him in one ear and they shot him in one ear and they shot him in one ear.

700
01:09:47,020 --> 01:09:49,020
Five million Afghan civilians fled the savagery, becoming refugees.

701
01:09:49,020 --> 01:09:55,980
They sought refuge in neighboring countries such as Pakistan and spent years living in dreadful conditions in makeshift tents.

702
01:09:55,980 --> 01:10:04,940
They sought refuge in neighboring countries such as Pakistan and spent years living in dreadful conditions in makeshift tents.

703
01:10:04,940 --> 01:10:11,900
Despite all its military might, however, Soviet Russia failed to overcome the Afghan resistance.

704
01:10:11,900 --> 01:10:20,860
Soviet Russia failed to overcome the Afghan resistance.

705
01:10:20,860 --> 01:10:34,860
Despite all its military might, however, Soviet Russia failed to overcome the Afghan resistance.

706
01:10:34,860 --> 01:10:59,720
The Red Army was forced to leave the country in 1988.

707
01:10:59,720 --> 01:11:15,680
The Soviet tanks left hundreds of thousands of innocent people dead behind them and once again demonstrated the suffering inflicted on humanity by the ideology known as communism.

708
01:11:15,680 --> 01:11:35,240
The historical facts we have so far seen demonstrate that although communism emerged surrounded by fine slogans about justice and equality,

709
01:11:35,240 --> 01:11:39,240
it really brought humanity nothing but blood and death.

710
01:11:39,720 --> 01:11:48,060
Communist ideologues and dictators such as Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin are responsible for the deaths of some 50 million people.

711
01:11:48,980 --> 01:11:52,300
Communism literally turned the world into a slaughterhouse.

712
01:11:52,300 --> 01:11:59,120
Another ideologue who must share part of that responsibility is Charles Darwin,

713
01:11:59,120 --> 01:12:06,240
the man, in other words, who built the basis in natural history for the communist view, as Karl Marx put it.

714
01:12:10,460 --> 01:12:15,840
As they staged bloody revolutions, committed ruthless massacres and waged their wars,

715
01:12:16,320 --> 01:12:19,460
communists were actually bringing Darwin's theory to life.

716
01:12:19,460 --> 01:12:23,860
That was a theory that regarded human beings as a species of animal,

717
01:12:24,500 --> 01:12:28,300
that believed that conflict and fighting were an unchanging law of nature.

718
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:34,600
And that, most important of all, encouraged people to deny God, their creator.

719
01:12:35,220 --> 01:12:40,460
That is why it will only be possible for mankind to be freed from communism and other bloody ideologies

720
01:12:41,200 --> 01:12:44,060
when the Darwinian deception is done away with.

721
01:12:44,060 --> 01:12:49,740
When mankind is woken from the spell of Darwinism and materialist philosophy,

722
01:12:50,340 --> 01:12:56,140
it will come to know its creator, God, and will live by the morality he teaches.

723
01:12:57,900 --> 01:13:02,320
In fact, God tells us that we have to follow only his way.

724
01:13:02,320 --> 01:13:07,380
This is my path, and it is straight, so follow it.

725
01:13:08,140 --> 01:13:12,260
Do not follow other ways, or you will become cut off from his way.

726
01:13:12,720 --> 01:13:17,540
That is what he instructs you to do, so that hopefully you may do your duty.

727
01:13:17,540 --> 01:13:23,100
Do not miss the bloody history of communism.

728
01:13:23,100 --> 01:13:24,060
Part 3.

729
01:13:24,740 --> 01:13:26,700
The Savagery of Mao's Red China.

730
01:13:27,420 --> 01:13:30,180
Guerrilla wars and communist terrorist organizations.

731
01:13:31,300 --> 01:13:34,200
1968 and the communist revolts in the West.

732
01:13:34,200 --> 01:13:47,980
Do not miss the bloody history of communism.

733
01:13:47,980 --> 01:13:49,020
Part 3.

Thank you.

751
01:14:59,340 --> 01:15:29,320
Thank you.

752
01:15:29,340 --> 01:15:59,320
Thank you.

753
01:15:59,340 --> 01:16:29,320
Thank you.

754
01:16:30,100 --> 01:16:40,660
The Chinese built one of the oldest civilizations in history and lived as a closed society for hundreds of years, stubbornly defending their traditions and culture.

755
01:16:40,660 --> 01:16:51,160
In the 19th century, however, China began to open its doors to the outside world.

756
01:16:51,160 --> 01:16:56,240
It was the Europeans who came through those doors, particularly the British.

757
01:16:56,240 --> 01:17:09,060
The Europeans came to China for commercial reasons and began bringing their own culture to the country.

758
01:17:09,060 --> 01:17:18,060
Alongside Western culture, Western ideas also arrived.

759
01:17:19,060 --> 01:17:22,080
One of these ideas was Darwin's theory of evolution.

760
01:17:22,080 --> 01:17:50,640
In 1895, 36 years after its publication,

761
01:17:50,640 --> 01:17:59,640
Darwin's The Origin of Species was translated into Chinese and in a short space of time became very popular among the country's intellectuals.

762
01:17:59,640 --> 01:18:16,720
Books by other evolutionary theoreticians who supported Darwin's views also began to spread through the country.

763
01:18:16,720 --> 01:18:25,720
These included Thomas Huxley, considered Darwin's most fervent supporter and for that reason known as Darwin's bulldog.

764
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:32,720
Darwin's cousin, Francis Galton, the founder of the theory of eugenics and a prominent racist.

765
01:18:32,720 --> 01:18:47,720
The social Darwinist, who applied Darwin's theory of evolution to the social sciences.

766
01:18:47,720 --> 01:18:57,720
The common feature of these thinkers was their belief that man and all living things were in a constant state of conflict and that it was this which allowed them to evolve.

767
01:18:57,720 --> 01:19:16,720
They denied creation, saying that man had emerged by chance and portraying him as a species of animal with no divine responsibility.

768
01:19:16,720 --> 01:19:39,720
The spread of Darwinist thought through society in this way led to social turmoil, unrest and conflict in China, just as it did in other countries.

769
01:19:39,720 --> 01:19:58,720
Darwinism had such an enormous effect in China in the 20th century that the Harvard University historian James Reeve Pusey wrote a book on that very issue, China and Charles Darwin.

770
01:19:58,720 --> 01:20:17,720
According to Pusey's account, Darwinism had a profound effect on Chinese intellectuals, encouraged them to adopt a revolutionary world view and provided major ideological support for the development of the communist movement in the country.

771
01:20:17,720 --> 01:20:24,720
The man who directed the course of the change that began with Darwinism was Mao Tse Tung.

772
01:20:24,720 --> 01:20:38,720
Mao's political ideology took shape during his student years in the early 1920s.

773
01:20:38,720 --> 01:20:50,720
His greatest inspiration was Chang Dixu, the General Secretary of the Communist Party whom he met in Shanghai.

774
01:20:50,720 --> 01:20:57,720
Dixu's principal characteristic was his devotion to Darwinism.

775
01:20:57,720 --> 01:21:10,720
He taught Mao both Marxism and Darwinism.

776
01:21:10,720 --> 01:21:16,720
He taught Mao both Marxism and Darwinism.

777
01:21:16,720 --> 01:21:20,720
In his memoirs, written years later, Mao said,

778
01:21:20,720 --> 01:21:33,720
Nobody influenced me as much as Chang Dixu.

779
01:21:33,720 --> 01:21:46,720
The young Mao quickly came to prominence with the Communist Party, assuming the leadership from the second half of the 1920s.

780
01:21:46,720 --> 01:22:01,720
Communist guerrillas led by Mao began a long war against the central government led by Chiang Kai-shek, who had also been influenced by Darwinism.

781
01:22:01,720 --> 01:22:10,720
The difference between them was that Mao was a communist and Chiang Kai-shek a fascist.

782
01:22:10,720 --> 01:22:17,720
During the Second World War, Mao's and Chiang Kai-shek's forces formed a temporary alliance to fight the Japanese occupation,

783
01:22:17,720 --> 01:22:23,720
but began fighting each other again as soon as the war was over.

784
01:22:27,720 --> 01:22:34,720
During the conflict between the two Darwinist ideologies, hundreds of thousands of innocent people were killed.

785
01:22:34,720 --> 01:22:51,720
The Communist Party flag that was raised over the walls of Beijing represented an even darker time for the people of China, a land that was already in chaos.

786
01:22:51,720 --> 01:23:04,720
Mao's rule opened with a huge display.

787
01:23:04,720 --> 01:23:09,720
Crowds gathered under the red flags in Tiananmen Square applauded communism.

788
01:23:09,720 --> 01:23:14,720
Mao then set out the promises of communism in his frightening high-pitched voice.

789
01:23:14,720 --> 01:23:28,720
Yet most of those who so happily cheered Mao would soon be

790
01:23:28,720 --> 01:23:46,520
Yet most of those who so happily cheered Mao were soon to become the victims of his savagery.

791
01:23:58,720 --> 01:24:25,920
In the first years of the communist regime, China's most important supporter was the Soviet Union.

792
01:24:25,920 --> 01:24:33,920
Stalin, the bloody dictator in Moscow, regarded Mao as both an ally and a personal friend.

793
01:24:33,920 --> 01:24:44,920
Mao now took his place alongside Stalin at the latter's show rallies.

794
01:24:44,920 --> 01:24:56,920
The first bloody cooperation between the two communist dictators came just after Mao's revolution in Korea in 1950.

795
01:24:56,920 --> 01:25:14,920
The Soviet Union

796
01:25:14,920 --> 01:25:20,920
Acting with Chinese and Soviet support, communist North Korea suddenly attacked the occupied South Korea.

797
01:25:20,920 --> 01:25:38,920
United Nations forces were sent in to balance the situation, although the war lasted for three years and cost the lives of more than three million people.

798
01:25:38,920 --> 01:25:56,920
The Red Chinese Army directly entered the war on the side of North Korea, while the Soviets provided arms and equipment.

799
01:25:56,920 --> 01:26:06,920
Turkish units that fought in the Korean War on the United Nations side lost more than 700 men.

800
01:26:06,920 --> 01:26:26,920
After the Korean War, one of the bloodiest conflicts in history, Mao became more involved in internal Chinese affairs.

801
01:26:26,920 --> 01:26:38,920
He frequently addressed the people, and millions of Chinese were made to listen to his speeches over loudspeakers.

802
01:26:38,920 --> 01:26:48,920
He would promise industrialization and regeneration in those addresses and say Marxism-Leninism is our only guide.

803
01:26:48,920 --> 01:26:58,920
Like his comrade Stalin, Mao wished to implement a ruthless collectivization program.

804
01:26:58,920 --> 01:27:02,920
His first action was to confiscate private property.

805
01:27:02,920 --> 01:27:07,920
Propaganda films portrayed the happiness this measure would allegedly bring to the Chinese people.

806
01:27:07,920 --> 01:27:15,920
Businessmen whose assets had been seized put on false displays of joy.

807
01:27:15,920 --> 01:27:31,920
Women also appeared in the same false images of happiness.

808
01:27:31,920 --> 01:27:37,920
In reality, however, the regime brought people fear, not joy.

809
01:27:37,920 --> 01:27:43,920
Hundreds of thousands of people were tried in the people's court set up in Mao's first years in power

810
01:27:43,920 --> 01:27:47,920
and condemned to death for minor crimes.

811
01:28:05,920 --> 01:28:11,920
The real disaster, however, would begin with Mao's great leap forward.

812
01:28:13,920 --> 01:28:41,920
When Mao came to power, the majority of the population were living in poverty, working in harsh conditions in the rice fields and barely producing enough to feed themselves.

813
01:28:41,920 --> 01:28:48,920
But at least they did have enough to eat.

814
01:28:48,920 --> 01:29:00,920
The economic program known as the Great Leap Forward begun by Mao in 1958 led China to complete disaster.

815
01:29:00,920 --> 01:29:07,920
The Great Leap Forward began with the slogan of doubling China's industrial and agricultural production.

816
01:29:07,920 --> 01:29:22,920
Propaganda posters explained how jealous Western countries would be of Chinese produce.

817
01:29:22,920 --> 01:29:33,920
Mao was portrayed as a leader who would solve all problems by implementing communist ideology in society.

818
01:29:33,920 --> 01:29:37,920
To that end, agriculture was first collectivized.

819
01:29:37,920 --> 01:29:40,920
Individual production was banned.

820
01:29:40,920 --> 01:29:52,920
Villagers were placed in huge communes consisting of thousands of people and forced to engage in collective production under military discipline.

821
01:29:52,920 --> 01:29:55,920
Mao would frequently visit the fields and inspect the villages.

822
01:29:55,920 --> 01:29:59,920
Mao would frequently visit the fields and inspect the villages.

823
01:29:59,920 --> 01:30:18,920
At the same time, the communist party initiated a campaign aimed at ridding the whole country of harmful animals.

824
01:30:18,920 --> 01:30:19,920
Sparrows.

825
01:30:19,920 --> 01:30:23,920
Sparrows headed the list of animals thought to damage produce.

826
01:30:23,920 --> 01:30:36,920
Hundreds of thousands of Chinese set about exterminating them with catapults, stones and guns.

827
01:30:36,920 --> 01:30:51,920
Those bringing in large numbers of dead sparrows were praised as model communists.

828
01:30:51,920 --> 01:30:57,920
Yet this odd campaign led to a result that the communist party had failed to foresee.

829
01:30:57,920 --> 01:31:05,920
The reduction of the sparrow population to zero levels led to a huge rise in the insect population,

830
01:31:05,920 --> 01:31:08,920
which the sparrows had formerly fed on.

831
01:31:08,920 --> 01:31:20,920
These insects caused much more harm to the country's produce.

832
01:31:20,920 --> 01:31:25,920
In 1958, competitions were held between communes.

833
01:31:25,920 --> 01:31:28,920
The amount of produce from each commune was measured,

834
01:31:28,920 --> 01:31:33,920
and those that produced most were held up as examples.

835
01:31:33,920 --> 01:31:46,920
Every commune swore to reach higher quotas.

836
01:31:46,920 --> 01:31:51,920
At the following harvest, they announced that they had all exceeded their quotas.

837
01:31:51,920 --> 01:31:54,920
But the statistics were false.

838
01:31:54,920 --> 01:32:02,920
Communes resorted to deception in order to give the impression that they had produced more.

839
01:32:02,920 --> 01:32:27,920
Some even tried to demonstrate that they had filled their quotas by replanting harvested crops in the inspection fields.

840
01:32:27,920 --> 01:32:36,920
The communal system led to false statistics, which in turn gave rise to an even greater error.

841
01:32:36,920 --> 01:32:42,920
The communist party declared that China had a larger stock of rice and grain than it needed,

842
01:32:42,920 --> 01:32:46,920
and that in the future it would have to give the priority to other tasks.

843
01:32:46,920 --> 01:32:58,920
Tens of millions of peasants were therefore removed from the fields and set to work on the construction of a giant canal.

844
01:32:58,920 --> 01:33:17,920
These villagers were portrayed in propaganda films as happy and highly motivated,

845
01:33:17,920 --> 01:33:22,920
although in fact they were soon to suffer a terrible moral and physical collapse.

846
01:33:22,920 --> 01:33:37,920
Tens of thousands of people died as a result of industrial accidents in the hazardous conditions they were made to work in.

847
01:33:37,920 --> 01:33:46,920
The communist party came up with a crude calculation that every worker will build one meter of canal,

848
01:33:46,920 --> 01:33:49,920
and the project will end in three months.

849
01:33:49,920 --> 01:33:53,920
Yet it actually took more than ten years to finish the canal.

850
01:33:53,920 --> 01:34:14,920
During the Great Leap Forward, factory workers' hours were doubled and machines began to work non-stop.

851
01:34:14,920 --> 01:34:23,920
They were not even allowed to stop for maintenance and repairs, and so soon began to fall apart.

852
01:34:23,920 --> 01:34:29,920
Factories were ruined.

853
01:34:29,920 --> 01:34:35,920
At the same time, Mao announced another target for the Great Leap Forward.

854
01:34:35,920 --> 01:34:39,920
Steel production was to be doubled within one year.

855
01:34:39,920 --> 01:34:50,920
That production was to come not only from heavy industry complexes, but also from small furnaces and villages.

856
01:34:50,920 --> 01:34:58,920
As a result of communist ideology, Mao believed that workers' power held a magical force.

857
01:34:58,920 --> 01:35:05,920
With that decision, tens of millions of Chinese set out to produce steel by amateur methods.

858
01:35:05,920 --> 01:35:10,920
Everything made of iron they could find, from doorknobs to saucepans,

859
01:35:10,920 --> 01:35:15,920
was melted down in primitive furnaces in an effort to produce steel.

860
01:35:15,920 --> 01:35:33,920
Women cut off their hair and mixed it with the clay in the furnaces.

861
01:35:33,920 --> 01:35:39,920
Forests were plundered to provide enough wood for these primitive ovens.

862
01:35:39,920 --> 01:35:49,920
People living in the cities, even doctors for instance, joined in the steel production,

863
01:35:49,920 --> 01:35:54,920
regarded as a national obligation, outside normal working hours.

864
01:35:54,920 --> 01:36:01,920
Yet the whole campaign was totally irrational.

865
01:36:01,920 --> 01:36:10,920
The Chinese were simply producing steel, but not making anything useful out of it.

866
01:36:10,920 --> 01:36:19,920
What is more, the steel produced was of such poor quality that it served absolutely no purpose.

867
01:36:19,920 --> 01:36:23,920
The true dimensions of the catastrophe emerged in 1959.

868
01:36:23,920 --> 01:36:38,920
While villagers were working on making steel or building canals, the fields were left empty.

869
01:36:38,920 --> 01:36:45,920
Falsified figures showed huge production, although there was actually a great production gap.

870
01:36:45,920 --> 01:36:49,920
A massive famine started within a few months.

871
01:36:49,920 --> 01:36:53,920
The situation was worsened by a severe drought.

872
01:36:53,920 --> 01:36:58,920
In 1960, the worst famine in the history of mankind erupted.

873
01:36:58,920 --> 01:37:16,920
Forty million people starved to death in just two years.

874
01:37:16,920 --> 01:37:19,920
Mao's great leap forward had ended in catastrophe.

875
01:37:19,920 --> 01:37:23,920
Mao's great leap forward had ended in catastrophe.

876
01:37:23,920 --> 01:37:28,920
Then the moment of the road had ended in BUYAH roup ne's born and the poz 얼� warmer might be in the space where the person who rose.

877
01:37:28,920 --> 01:37:48,920
GAY BLUYAH

878
01:37:48,920 --> 01:37:57,260
We have seen throughout this film what a ruthless and cruel system communism truly is.

879
01:37:58,100 --> 01:38:03,800
Another fact that needs to be made clear is the unintelligent thinking and behavior of communist regimes.

880
01:38:04,940 --> 01:38:10,760
The so-called reconstruction project that Mao called his Great Leap Forward is a clear example of this.

881
01:38:11,680 --> 01:38:18,240
The Great Leap Forward shows the cliches of communist ideology bear no relation to the real world

882
01:38:18,240 --> 01:38:23,320
and that the great ideas of communist theoreticians such as Marx, Lenin and Mao,

883
01:38:23,740 --> 01:38:29,400
supposedly so scientific and clever, are in fact nothing more than empty nonsense.

884
01:38:30,060 --> 01:38:39,940
Communists believed in a mistaken ideology and inflicted terrible suffering on mankind by trying to impose that ideology on society.

885
01:38:39,940 --> 01:38:49,760
The irrational system established by communism is also a living manifestation of God's description of the deniers in the Quran

886
01:38:49,760 --> 01:38:52,620
as people who do not use their intellect.

887
01:39:01,920 --> 01:39:08,440
The senseless policies of the communist party were not the only reason for the famine during the Great Leap Forward.

888
01:39:08,440 --> 01:39:13,400
Mao and his supporters also regarded famine as a method of punishment.

889
01:39:14,700 --> 01:39:22,640
The regions worse affected by the famine were those cities and villagers regarded as not being sufficiently obedient to the communist regime.

890
01:39:23,900 --> 01:39:29,020
The party seized all the produce in such areas and, just as in Stalin's Russia,

891
01:39:29,560 --> 01:39:33,560
hid it in warehouses while deliberately leaving the villagers to starve.

892
01:39:33,560 --> 01:39:46,040
The reason the Chinese communists were able to be so ruthless was the result of the way they regarded man.

893
01:39:50,360 --> 01:39:58,320
Just like Lenin and Stalin, Mao regarded human beings as a species of animal and attached no value to them.

894
01:39:58,320 --> 01:40:09,160
That was a natural consequence of the Darwinism he had imbibed in his youth.

895
01:40:09,160 --> 01:40:38,140
Mao's Darwinist philosophy has been described by the Harvard University historian James Reeves Pusey in these terms.

896
01:40:38,140 --> 01:40:47,680
The thought of Mao Zedong was and remains a powerful mixture of Darwinian ironies and contradictions.

897
01:40:48,520 --> 01:40:55,620
Mao Zedong, in an angry moment, as late as 1964, swore that all demons shall be annihilated.

898
01:40:56,180 --> 01:41:02,480
He dehumanized his enemies, partly in traditional hyperbole, partly in social Darwinian realism.

899
01:41:02,480 --> 01:41:10,080
Like the anarchists, he saw reactionaries as evolutionary throwbacks, who deserved extinction.

900
01:41:12,080 --> 01:41:17,520
The people's enemies were non-people, and they did not deserve to be treated as people.

901
01:41:17,520 --> 01:41:31,240
The Muslim Uyghur Turks of East Turkestan headed the list of those who suffered Mao's cruelty.

902
01:41:33,340 --> 01:41:41,720
With its long-term policy of genocide in East Turkestan, the communist regime ruthlessly slaughtered millions of innocent people.

903
01:41:41,720 --> 01:41:56,600
As a result of the nuclear tests deliberately carried out in the region, tens of thousands of children were left handicapped.

904
01:41:57,100 --> 01:42:05,540
This policy of genocide, that has been identified by international organizations, is still going on today in all its ruthlessness.

905
01:42:05,540 --> 01:42:35,520
This policy of genocide, that has been identified by international organizations, is still going on today in the region.

906
01:42:35,520 --> 01:43:05,500
This policy of genocide, that has been identified by international organizations, is still going on today in the region.

907
01:43:05,500 --> 01:43:32,700
Following the disaster of the Great Leaf Forum, Mao withdrew from the scene and went into a kind of seclusion.

908
01:43:33,480 --> 01:43:37,540
The running of the country was left to more moderate civil servants.

909
01:43:38,680 --> 01:43:43,500
The Chinese were able, in part, to return to normal life and have a sigh of relief.

910
01:44:02,700 --> 01:44:07,700
But Mao was planning new murders.

911
01:44:08,960 --> 01:44:16,700
He thought that communist ideology had not spread sufficiently in society and attributed the failure of the Great Leaf Forward to that deficiency.

912
01:44:16,700 --> 01:44:31,700
Mao's supporters printed tens of millions of copies of his little red book consisting of some of his speeches.

913
01:44:31,700 --> 01:44:37,700
Known as the Great Helmsman, Mao re-emerged onto the scene in the second half of the 1960s.

914
01:44:37,700 --> 01:44:51,980
A display of swimming he gave in the Yangstie River demonstrated both his energy and his support.

915
01:44:51,980 --> 01:45:12,820
Mao, first of all, said about debasing classic Chinese arts for the ideological program he dreamed of.

916
01:45:12,820 --> 01:45:25,480
He wished to graft the ideas of violence and conflict, the basis of communism, onto society, and thought he could commence the process with opera.

917
01:45:25,480 --> 01:45:40,280
The traces of communist insanity could clearly be seen on the faces of the performers, who had been brainwashed by Maoist doctrines.

918
01:45:40,280 --> 01:46:04,920
A visit by Mao to the opera was the greatest honor imaginable for such fanatical supporters.

919
01:46:10,280 --> 01:46:19,280
Mao commenced his second leap in 1966.

920
01:46:19,280 --> 01:46:23,280
This was the great proletarian cultural revolution.

921
01:46:23,280 --> 01:46:35,280
Propaganda portraying Mao as a divine figure was put out all over China.

922
01:46:35,280 --> 01:46:43,280
Mao's old children were made to learn his little red book off by heart.

923
01:46:43,280 --> 01:46:47,280
His slogans were written on walls.

924
01:46:47,280 --> 01:46:52,280
And posters portrayed him as literally a super human being.

925
01:47:05,280 --> 01:47:15,280
The militants of the Cultural Revolution were young students known as Red Guards.

926
01:47:15,280 --> 01:47:28,280
The militants of the Cultural Revolution were young students known as Red Guards.

927
01:47:28,280 --> 01:47:37,280
On August 18, 1966, some one million Red Guards brainwashed with Mao's ideas came together in Tiananmen Square.

928
01:47:37,280 --> 01:47:42,280
They trampled each other in an effort to catch a glimpse of Mao's face.

929
01:47:42,280 --> 01:47:52,280
One young girl student was brought to Mao's side and shook his hand.

930
01:47:52,280 --> 01:48:00,280
Even if that was of little significance to Mao himself, it was a matter of the greatest significance to the girl and her friends,

931
01:48:00,280 --> 01:48:20,280
who all fell over themselves to touch the hand that had been shaken by Mao.

932
01:48:20,280 --> 01:48:27,280
Mao set these brainwashed youngsters on society with the slogan, Revolution is Right.

933
01:48:27,280 --> 01:48:37,280
He ordered the Red Guards to humiliate teachers in schools, managers in state offices, or anyone else they saw as being an authority.

934
01:48:37,280 --> 01:48:47,280
Red Guards even detained Lu Shakuri, who bore the title of head of state and inflicted all kinds of insults on him.

935
01:48:47,280 --> 01:49:12,280
Anyone involved in the management of any institution was accused of not being a communist, even if he had done nothing wrong,

936
01:49:12,280 --> 01:49:19,280
and would be hauled up in front of the crowds and humiliated.

937
01:49:19,280 --> 01:49:24,280
Such people would have humiliating paper hats put on their heads,

938
01:49:24,280 --> 01:49:32,280
and labels with insults written on them hung around their necks, would be slapped and pushed, and even beaten and tortured.

939
01:49:32,280 --> 01:49:35,280
Most were then killed in mass executions.

940
01:49:35,280 --> 01:49:42,280
The Red Guards were even capable of humiliating and beating their own parents.

941
01:49:42,280 --> 01:49:50,280
They would stop passers-by and ask them about passages from Mao's Little Red Book, beating those who failed to answer correctly.

942
01:49:50,280 --> 01:49:54,280
More than one million people were killed in this way.

943
01:49:54,280 --> 01:50:11,280
This is how one observer described the inhuman treatment meted out to university professors detained during the Cultural Revolution.

944
01:50:11,280 --> 01:50:18,280
Before a new four-story classroom building, I saw rows of teachers, about forty or fifty in all,

945
01:50:18,280 --> 01:50:22,280
with black ink poured over their heads and faces.

946
01:50:22,280 --> 01:50:29,280
They all wore dunce caps and carried dirty brooms, shoes and dusters on their backs.

947
01:50:30,280 --> 01:50:34,280
Hanging from their necks were pails filled with rocks.

948
01:50:34,280 --> 01:50:42,280
Finally, they all knelt down, burned incense, and begged Mao Zidung to pardon their crimes.

949
01:50:42,280 --> 01:50:45,280
Beating and tortured followed.

950
01:50:45,280 --> 01:50:50,280
I had never seen such tortures before.

951
01:50:50,280 --> 01:50:52,280
Eating night soil and insects.

952
01:50:52,280 --> 01:50:55,280
Being subjected to electric shocks.

953
01:50:55,280 --> 01:50:59,280
Being forced to kneel on broken glass.

954
01:50:59,280 --> 01:51:03,280
Being hanged like an aeroplane by the arms and legs.

955
01:51:03,280 --> 01:51:22,280
The Red Guards also attacked Western diplomats.

956
01:51:22,280 --> 01:51:27,280
The country was being drawn ever deeper into chaos and violence.

957
01:51:27,280 --> 01:51:30,280
Museums were ruined, books burned,

958
01:51:30,280 --> 01:51:34,280
after which fighting broke out between rival Red Guard factions.

959
01:51:34,280 --> 01:51:39,280
Factories, schools and hospitals all stopped functioning.

960
01:51:43,280 --> 01:51:49,280
Mao's nonsense had led a whole country to a state of anarchy.

961
01:51:49,280 --> 01:52:05,280
Order was only restored when the army intervened.

962
01:52:05,280 --> 01:52:10,280
The Red Guards were made harmless and sent off to labor in the fields.

963
01:52:10,280 --> 01:52:32,280
Even so, the madness of the Cultural Revolution only came to an end with Mao's death in 1976.

964
01:52:32,280 --> 01:52:37,280
The Communist Party's loyalty to him continued, however.

965
01:52:37,280 --> 01:52:43,280
In the funeral lament written for him, the bloody dictator was portrayed as a superior being.

966
01:52:43,280 --> 01:52:56,280
Mao's body was mummified and preserved.

967
01:52:56,280 --> 01:53:02,280
His ideology would survive, however, and continue to spill blood.

968
01:53:02,280 --> 01:53:05,280
Mao's body was mummified and preserved.

969
01:53:05,280 --> 01:53:08,280
Mao's body was mummified and preserved.

970
01:53:08,280 --> 01:53:13,280
His ideology would survive, however, and continue to spill blood.

971
01:53:13,280 --> 01:53:24,280
And liner down the field of tehdas and hidden brands in the Dark masculinist.

972
01:53:24,280 --> 01:53:25,280
The Chinese people were made too Jan etc.

973
01:53:25,280 --> 01:53:28,280
Thirdly Mutual, the Apographic, the world's nurtured.

974
01:53:28,280 --> 01:53:31,280
And the last topic of Mother'sENCE is demonstrated.

975
01:53:31,280 --> 01:53:34,280
In one of the extremes, the rest of theraktylism.

976
01:53:34,280 --> 01:53:39,280
There was noiled to报 özek.

977
01:53:39,280 --> 01:53:45,320
Maoism is the very worst version of communism.

978
01:53:46,160 --> 01:53:49,480
The interesting thing is that this tragedy struck not only China,

979
01:53:49,480 --> 01:53:52,460
but also other countries influenced by China.

980
01:53:53,680 --> 01:53:57,480
When Sino-Soviet relations fell apart in the 1960s,

981
01:53:57,600 --> 01:54:02,240
Maoism found support in various countries as an alternative model of communism.

982
01:54:03,400 --> 01:54:09,120
Regimes based on Maoist principles were set up in Albania, North Korea, and Cambodia.

983
01:54:10,060 --> 01:54:14,060
And those regimes inflicted almost unimaginable suffering on people.

984
01:54:14,580 --> 01:54:20,860
The Cambodian killing fields in particular are a tale of a savagery unequaled in world history.

985
01:54:39,280 --> 01:54:45,620
Cambodia, a small and impoverished Asian nation,

986
01:54:45,620 --> 01:54:50,040
first began to feel the cold breath of communism in the 1960s.

987
01:54:51,060 --> 01:54:55,240
At that time, North Vietnamese units at war with the United States

988
01:54:55,240 --> 01:54:58,420
had begun to cross the border and infiltrate into Cambodia.

989
01:54:59,280 --> 01:55:03,540
In the 1970s, the country was drawn into civil conflict.

990
01:55:03,540 --> 01:55:08,680
Cambodian communist guerrillas known as the Khmer Rouge

991
01:55:08,680 --> 01:55:11,200
began a bloody war against the central government.

992
01:55:16,640 --> 01:55:19,520
The hatred in their hearts could be seen in their faces.

993
01:55:19,520 --> 01:55:30,500
The Khmer Rouge were led by a Maoist called Pol Pot

994
01:55:30,500 --> 01:55:35,860
and came to power in 1975 when they entered the capital, Phnom Penh.

995
01:55:35,860 --> 01:55:46,420
The Khmer Rouge revolution saw the dawn of appalling terror.

996
01:55:46,420 --> 01:56:06,880
Thousands of state employees were killed on the streets

997
01:56:06,880 --> 01:56:09,960
and the streets were filled with patrolling tanks.

998
01:56:22,440 --> 01:56:25,420
The Khmer Rouge set out with Mao's slogan,

999
01:56:25,980 --> 01:56:27,880
the way of communism is peasantry,

1000
01:56:27,880 --> 01:56:32,440
and forced the entire population out of the cities and into the villages.

1001
01:56:39,560 --> 01:56:43,760
The capital, Phnom Penh, was emptied out within a few days

1002
01:56:43,760 --> 01:56:45,920
under the threats of armed militants

1003
01:56:45,920 --> 01:56:48,920
and hundreds of thousands of people were sent off

1004
01:56:48,920 --> 01:56:51,020
to the rice fields to suffer and starve.

1005
01:56:51,020 --> 01:57:04,200
Those fields turned into terrible killing fields

1006
01:57:04,200 --> 01:57:07,640
where people were worked to death for a handful of food

1007
01:57:07,640 --> 01:57:09,800
or executed for no reason at all.

1008
01:57:09,800 --> 01:57:32,740
The minority Muslim population in Cambodia

1009
01:57:32,740 --> 01:57:34,480
was a target for the savagery.

1010
01:57:34,480 --> 01:57:42,860
The Khmer Rouge administration rounded up copies of the Qur'an

1011
01:57:42,860 --> 01:57:45,240
and burned them, tore down mosques,

1012
01:57:45,620 --> 01:57:49,240
and killed some 10,000 Muslims, women and children included.

1013
01:57:49,240 --> 01:58:15,560
The communist regime not only attempted to destroy religion,

1014
01:58:15,560 --> 01:58:17,120
but also the family.

1015
01:58:17,120 --> 01:58:20,420
The communal form of living was established

1016
01:58:20,420 --> 01:58:22,640
and all families were split up.

1017
01:58:23,840 --> 01:58:25,900
Children in the communes were indoctrinated

1018
01:58:25,900 --> 01:58:28,240
with the idea that families were unnecessary

1019
01:58:28,240 --> 01:58:31,800
and were taught to love the communist party instead.

1020
01:58:31,800 --> 01:58:47,280
These policies were nothing but Marx and Engels' comments

1021
01:58:47,280 --> 01:58:49,940
on the origin of the family put into practice.

1022
01:58:52,740 --> 01:58:55,180
Marx and Engels had suggested that man,

1023
01:58:55,460 --> 01:58:58,900
whom they regarded as a species of animal evolved from apes,

1024
01:58:58,900 --> 01:59:03,380
had no need of such concepts as religion, morality, or the family.

1025
01:59:06,740 --> 01:59:09,840
The killing fields of the Khmer Rouge were set up

1026
01:59:09,840 --> 01:59:13,880
in order to translate that superstition of Marx and Engels into life.

1027
01:59:13,880 --> 01:59:17,180
In the killing fields,

1028
01:59:17,180 --> 01:59:21,340
the guards could kill anyone they had the slightest suspicion of.

1029
01:59:24,340 --> 01:59:27,240
Khmer Rouge killings were that first carried out

1030
01:59:27,240 --> 01:59:29,040
by means of a bullet in the head.

1031
01:59:29,860 --> 01:59:32,520
Later, in order to avoid wasting bullets,

1032
01:59:33,180 --> 01:59:36,320
they began putting plastic bags over people's heads

1033
01:59:36,320 --> 01:59:37,480
and suffocating them.

1034
01:59:37,480 --> 01:59:44,480
Three million out of the country's nine million population

1035
01:59:44,480 --> 01:59:46,040
were killed in that way.

1036
01:59:46,040 --> 02:00:13,760
Today, the skulls and bones of those murdered

1037
02:00:13,760 --> 02:00:17,600
by the Khmer Rouge are on display in a museum in Phenomphée.

1038
02:00:32,720 --> 02:00:36,020
One can see the deep fear in the faces of those

1039
02:00:36,020 --> 02:00:38,880
whom the Khmer Rouge photographed before they killed.

1040
02:00:38,880 --> 02:00:55,320
That is what Communism and materialist philosophy

1041
02:00:55,320 --> 02:00:56,960
have inflicted on mankind.

1042
02:01:01,160 --> 02:01:03,940
All ideologies that reject God

1043
02:01:03,940 --> 02:01:07,120
turn their backs on the morality he has taught

1044
02:01:07,120 --> 02:01:10,780
and regard the world as one giant battleground

1045
02:01:10,780 --> 02:01:14,380
all inflict disasters on mankind in the same manner.

1046
02:01:15,640 --> 02:01:18,080
God reveals the secret of this truth

1047
02:01:18,080 --> 02:01:19,480
in a verse of the Koran.

1048
02:01:22,120 --> 02:01:24,740
Corruption has appeared in both land and sea

1049
02:01:24,740 --> 02:01:28,000
because of what people's own hands have brought about

1050
02:01:28,000 --> 02:01:31,100
so that they may taste something of what they have done

1051
02:01:31,100 --> 02:01:33,480
so that hopefully they will turn back.

1052
02:01:33,480 --> 02:01:36,500
a few believe in me.

1053
02:01:51,860 --> 02:01:52,220
What will people do happens to

1054
02:01:52,220 --> 02:01:53,660
I don't know, but people think about these

1055
02:01:53,660 --> 02:01:55,320
stories they are, but they may not scream

1056
02:01:55,320 --> 02:01:57,180
enough to são exemplary

1057
02:01:57,180 --> 02:01:57,460
from human beings

1058
02:01:57,460 --> 02:01:58,480
because of all when you are

1059
02:01:58,480 --> 02:01:59,360
or not, I know.

1060
02:01:59,360 --> 02:02:22,760
Communism reached its peak in the 1960s.

1061
02:02:22,760 --> 02:02:30,780
The Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc were run by the Communist regime in Moscow.

1062
02:02:30,780 --> 02:02:42,000
In China, Mao had been deified and his ideology was portrayed as an infallible guide.

1063
02:02:42,000 --> 02:02:53,560
Fidel Castro's regime ruled in Cuba.

1064
02:02:53,560 --> 02:02:58,280
The Communist guerrilla leader Che Guevara was attempting to organize guerrilla wars in

1065
02:02:58,280 --> 02:03:05,000
the Congo and Bolivia.

1066
02:03:05,000 --> 02:03:09,900
Many other countries in Africa, Latin America and Asia were under the threat of Communist

1067
02:03:09,900 --> 02:03:19,300
terrorist organizations or Communist regimes.

1068
02:03:19,300 --> 02:03:27,400
During those years, Communism also burst onto the scene in a totally unexpected place.

1069
02:03:27,400 --> 02:03:32,860
Marxist ideology began to spread rapidly among young people in the West.

1070
02:03:32,860 --> 02:03:38,480
The Marxist thinker Herbert Marcuse played an important role in that phenomenon.

1071
02:03:38,480 --> 02:03:44,380
Marcuse offered a new definition of the revolutionary class, described as the workers by Lenin and

1072
02:03:44,380 --> 02:03:50,760
as the peasants by Mao, the young.

1073
02:03:50,760 --> 02:03:56,940
That same Marcuse actually agreed with Lenin and Mao on one fundamental matter.

1074
02:03:56,940 --> 02:04:06,840
It was the Darwinist dogma that conflict was the fundamental law of nature.

1075
02:04:06,840 --> 02:04:12,880
Marcuse's belief in conflict turned the sixty-eight generation out onto the streets.

1076
02:04:12,880 --> 02:04:17,740
Young British people held protest rallies at which they shouted slogans in support of North

1077
02:04:17,740 --> 02:04:29,220
Vietnamese leader, Ho Chi Minh.

1078
02:04:29,220 --> 02:04:37,560
In Italy, leftist groups carried out acts of terrorism.

1079
02:04:37,560 --> 02:04:44,560
The greatest explosion of violence in 1968 was in France.

1080
02:04:44,560 --> 02:04:50,720
Firstly, Marxist students in Paris occupied their universities, and socialist slogans were

1081
02:04:50,720 --> 02:04:54,020
shouted during the celebrations.

1082
02:04:54,020 --> 02:05:02,220
Events began to grow when other leftist groups organized marches and supported the students.

1083
02:05:02,220 --> 02:05:07,980
Marxist students tore cars apart and smashed streets and shops.

1084
02:05:07,980 --> 02:05:23,560
In a matter of a few days, Paris turned into a war zone.

1085
02:05:23,560 --> 02:05:42,060
The barbarity that marched under the red flag was only suppressed months later.

1086
02:05:42,060 --> 02:05:48,500
In 1968, student incidents spread to many other countries under a kind of domino effect, and

1087
02:05:48,500 --> 02:06:01,340
each time they led to social conflict, acts of terrorism, and even civil war.

1088
02:06:01,340 --> 02:06:06,720
Those young people exasperated by the political and economic problems of their day believed that

1089
02:06:06,720 --> 02:06:21,160
communism offered a solution.

1090
02:06:21,160 --> 02:06:25,660
There was another important reason why the sixty-eight generation got caught up in communist

1091
02:06:25,660 --> 02:06:27,220
ideology.

1092
02:06:27,220 --> 02:06:31,840
The education system that produced those young people gave them every detail of the basic

1093
02:06:31,840 --> 02:06:36,040
philosophical training necessary for them to become communists.

1094
02:06:36,040 --> 02:06:40,860
That was because Darwin's theory of evolution, which contains the basis of natural history

1095
02:06:40,860 --> 02:06:47,540
for communism, as Karl Marx put it, was taught in schools as if it were a proven scientific

1096
02:06:47,540 --> 02:06:48,540
fact.

1097
02:06:48,540 --> 02:06:52,760
Young people who believed in Darwin's ideas that man was an animal that progressed through

1098
02:06:52,760 --> 02:06:57,140
conflict were not slow to turn to terror and anarchy.

1099
02:06:57,140 --> 02:07:02,020
We may recall that Darwin's theory of evolution prepared the ground for the development of Chinese

1100
02:07:02,020 --> 02:07:08,600
communism, and that Mao's bloody regime arose from the ideological foundation of Darwinism.

1101
02:07:08,600 --> 02:07:13,620
The entire picture reveals to us one very important fact.

1102
02:07:13,620 --> 02:07:19,020
Communist ideology is the result of a worldview that regards man as a species of animal and

1103
02:07:19,020 --> 02:07:21,300
believes that he progresses through conflict.

1104
02:07:21,300 --> 02:07:28,380
But if that worldview becomes prevalent in society, communism will inevitably ensue.

1105
02:07:28,380 --> 02:07:33,800
When it finds an appropriate political and social climate, communism reorganizes itself

1106
02:07:33,800 --> 02:07:36,740
and again begins shedding blood.

1107
02:07:36,740 --> 02:07:41,840
The fact that the communist regimes and the Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc were overthrown must

1108
02:07:41,840 --> 02:07:45,600
not be allowed to put us off our guard.

1109
02:07:45,600 --> 02:07:50,280
Darwinism is still a threat to the world, because the ideology's basic philosophy is

1110
02:07:50,280 --> 02:07:52,760
still alive and well.

1111
02:07:52,760 --> 02:07:59,500
As long as that basis, in other words, Darwinism and materialism is still alive, communism will

1112
02:07:59,500 --> 02:08:03,520
continue to represent a grave menace to mankind.

1113
02:08:03,520 --> 02:08:10,280
That being the case, the solution lies in doing away with that philosophical foundation.

1114
02:08:10,280 --> 02:08:16,280
Humanism and materialist philosophy in any case possess no scientific basis and must no longer

1115
02:08:16,280 --> 02:08:20,040
be imposed on society as if they were true.

1116
02:08:20,040 --> 02:08:25,100
People must understand that they are not animals who merely exist to fight with one another, but

1117
02:08:25,100 --> 02:08:30,140
that they are honorable creatures who must live by the lights of that morality created and

1118
02:08:30,140 --> 02:08:32,080
revealed by God.

1119
02:08:32,080 --> 02:08:38,240
Once that truth has been grasped, both communism and the other ideologies that have brought disaster

1120
02:08:38,240 --> 02:08:44,180
to mankind will disappear, and man will live in peace, security, and brotherhood.
