The Admiration of the Followers of
Marx and Engels for Darwin
Marx and Engels' followers, who brought about the deaths of milli-
ons of people and were the reason for hundreds of millions of others li-
ving in pain, fear, and violence, accepted the theory of evolution with gre-
at joy and interest.
John N. Moore speaks of the links between evolution and the Soviet
leaders who implemented Marx and Engels' ideas in Russia:
The thinking of the leaders of the USSR is rooted deeply in an evolutionary
outlook. 88
It was Lenin who made Marx's project of Communist revolution co-
me true. Lenin, the leader of the Communist Bolshevik movement in Rus-
sia, aimed to bring down the Tsarist regime in Russia by force of arms.
The chaos after World War I gave the Bolsheviks the opportunity they had
been seeking. With Lenin at their head, the Communists seized power by
the use of arms in October 1917. After the revolution Russia was the scene
of a bloody three-year civil war between Communists and supporters
of the tsar.
