Mao Tse-Tung <strong>in</strong> an angry moment (as late as 1964) swore that "all<br />

demons shall be annihilated." He dehumanized his enemies, partly <strong>in</strong><br />

traditional hyberbole, partly <strong>in</strong> Social Darw<strong>in</strong>ian "realism." Like the Anarchists,<br />

he saw reactionaries as evolutionary throwbacks, who deserved<br />

ext<strong>in</strong>ction. The people's enemies were non-people, and they did<br />

not deserve to be treated as people. 3<br />

Mao's own words confirmed those <strong>of</strong> Pusey. One <strong>of</strong> the slogans <strong>of</strong><br />

the founder <strong>of</strong> Red Ch<strong>in</strong>a at that time was "The basis <strong>of</strong> Ch<strong>in</strong>ese socialism<br />

rests on Darw<strong>in</strong> and the theory <strong>of</strong> evolution." 4<br />

The Muslims <strong>of</strong> <strong>East</strong> <strong>Turkestan</strong> came to be one <strong>of</strong> those societies<br />

that Mao, <strong>in</strong>spired by the Darw<strong>in</strong>ist World view, thought had no right<br />

to "be treated as human." The reason was because the<br />

beliefs <strong>of</strong> the people <strong>of</strong> <strong>East</strong> <strong>Turkestan</strong> led them<br />

to fiercely oppose communism. However,<br />

their rightful protest was put down with<br />

utter ruthlessness and as a result millions<br />

<strong>of</strong> its children have been martyred by<br />

the communist regime. <strong>East</strong> <strong>Turkestan</strong><br />

is still liv<strong>in</strong>g under this repression.<br />

Hundreds <strong>of</strong> thousands <strong>of</strong> Muslims<br />

have been tortured <strong>in</strong> Ch<strong>in</strong>ese prisons,<br />

cast out <strong>of</strong> their homes, and obliged to<br />

leave their land.<br />

A<br />

s Mao himself confessed, the most important<br />

ideological support <strong>of</strong> the communist regime <strong>in</strong><br />

Ch<strong>in</strong>a is Darw<strong>in</strong>'s theory <strong>of</strong> evolution. In his<br />

book Ch<strong>in</strong>a and Charles Darw<strong>in</strong>, the Harvard<br />

University historian James Reeve Pusey describes<br />

the great <strong>in</strong>fluence <strong>of</strong> Darw<strong>in</strong>ism <strong>in</strong><br />

Ch<strong>in</strong>a and how it prepared the <strong>in</strong>tellectual foundations<br />

<strong>of</strong> communism.<br />
