            Communist Dictators That They Drew Their Basic
            Ideas from Those of Darwin




            Joseph Stalin:


            "In order to disabuse the minds of our seminary students of the myth
            that the world was created in six days, we had to acquaint ourselves with
            the geological origin and age of the earth, and be able to prove them in
            argument; we had to familiarize ourselves with Darwin's teachings."  1


            Mao Zedong:



            "The foundation of Chinese Socialism rests on Darwin and the theo-
            ry of evolution."  2


            Friedrich Engels and Karl
            Marx:


            From a letter by
            Engels to Marx:

            "Darwin, whom I
            am just now reading,
            is splendid."  3


            Marx's reply to Engels
            written on 19 December
            1860:  "… this is the
            book which contains
            the basis in natural his-
            tory for our view."  4
