96 THE INTELLECTUAL STRUGGLE AGAINST DARWINISM

Darwinism is a State Policy for Communist

Communism, without doubt the most harmful ideology of
the 20 th century, was founded by two German philosophers, Karl
Marx and Friedrich Engels. Reaching its historic peak in the 19 th
century, it shed far more blood worldwide than the genocides of

munism's intellectual fathers, sought to describe materialist phi-
losophy by means of a new method known as "dialectics," the as-
sumption that all progress in the universe was obtained as the re-
sult of conflict. Based on that hypothesis, Marx and Engels at-
tempted to interpret all of world history. Marx claimed that the
history of mankind was one of conflict, that the present conflict

the workers would soon rise up and carry out a communist revo-

The earliest founders of communism, like all materialists, har-
bored a deep hostility towards belief in God. Marx and Engels,
