200 FASCISM: THE BLOODY IDEOLOGY OF DARWINISM

Amnesty International reported that 5,000 Kurds were
killed in a single Iraqi gas attack on the village of
Halabja, and many more thousands perished in similar
attacks elsewhere in the country. 137
The torture inflicted on the political opponents of
fascist Saddam was still worse. A doctor who fled from
Iraq described: "I was an intern in a hospital in the

tapes of the act were sent to him. He also said that the same has been done to
many other opponents of the regime.
As we can see from these numerous examples, Saddam's authority in
Iraq is entirely based on intimidation, terror and torture, while the people
within his fascist regime are hungry, unemployed and living in poverty. Little
children are dying of hunger and lack of medicine, while the rest of the nation
is doomed for either death or extinction. Despite all of this, the people will say
nothing against Saddam, whether out of fear or from the effects of mass-
hypnosis, but instead blame "them," Saddam's enemies, for the poverty they

In Saddam, we can also discern several other fascist characteristics. Of
