th
T he 20 century, which we have just left behind us, was a
century of war and conflict, leading to disasters, pain,
massacres, poverty, and enormous destruction. Millions
of people were killed, massacred, abandoned to hunger
and death, and left without home or shelter, protection, or support. And
all for nothing: in the name of serving deviant ideologies. Millions were
left exposed to inhuman treatment that not even animals should be
allowed to suffer. On nearly every occasion there were despots' and dic-
tators' signatures beneath all the suffering and disasters: Stalin, Lenin,
Trotsky, Mao, Pol Pot, Hitler, Mussolini, Franco… While some of these

simple reason that their ideologies were opposed to each other, they
dragged societies into conflict and turned brother against brother, having
them start wars, throw bombs, burn and destroy cars, homes, and shops,
and hold riotous demonstrations. Putting weapons in their hands, they
had them pitilessly beat the young, the old, men, women, and children to
death or stand them against a wall and shoot them… They were ruthless

That is a short resume of the nightmares of the 20 century that we have
just emerged from: people who supported conflicting ideas and who drowned
mankind in pain and blood in the name of supporting these ideologies.
Fascism and Communism come at the head of the ideologies that
caused mankind to suffer those dark days. These are seen as enemies, as
ideas that tried to destroy each other. In actual fact, there is a most inter-
esting truth here: for these ideologies were nourished by a single ideolog-
ical source, drew strength and support from that source, and, thanks to
that source, were able to draw societies to their side. At first sight, this
source has never drawn any attention, has always remained behind the
scenes up until now, and has always shown people its innocent-looking
face. That source is the materialist philosophy, and DARWINISM, the
