The first thing that Pol Pot did, for example, was to split families
up, since he regarded them as an obstacle to communist objectives. By
forcing people to live in communes, he kept family members apart
from one another and attempted to eliminate the very concept of the
family.

The same thing was done by Stalin in Russia. Peasants' lands were
first taken away. Then great care was taken that the small plots they
were given back should be scattered and far away from one another.
As a result, family members were forced to live in different places in
order to work their lands consisting of very small plots. Declarations

were made that stated "...the revolution will remain weak so long as
family ties and the concept of the family survive," at meetings of the
Communist Party, and indoctrination was conducted along that line.

That is the terrifying and barbaric view of social life that a com-
munist will hold. For a communist, words about virtue and moral val-
ues are meaningless.
