Similar instances of cruelty were suffered when Vietnam occupied
Laos in 1975 and turned it into a Communist regime. The Pathet Lao
Communists gained strength in this poor country in the middle of Indo-
China and, after they came to power, subjected opponents of regime to
oppression. As a result, tens of thousands became refugees.

The Maoist Danger Continues

Throughout its history, far-eastern Asia has been a scene of serious
severe armed clashes, blood feuds, and savage acts of vengeance. With
the advent of Communist ideology, which supported violence and re-
garded brutality as legitimate and even necessary, the result was disas-
trous. Communism turned the rice paddies into killing fields. In
far-eastern Asia, moreover, its hostility to culture and civilization was
even more marked. Its unthinking ideology rejected civilization in favor
of ignorance, ugliness, and monotony.
Interestingly, many organizations and currents of thought would
blindly adopt such a cruel and primitive ideology and spread it through-
out the world. Today, a number of Maoist terror organizations and ideo-
logical groups are operating in various countries. Maoists claim that the
collapse of the Soviet Union revealed the "failure of a false interpretation
of Communism" and proved that Maoism is right. They close their eyes
completely to Mao's brutality, crimes, famines and terrible acts of cru-
elty and try to argue that this benighted ideology is the only alternative
for the world's future. Maoists organize particularly in underdeveloped
countries, implementing their outmoded theory they call "Third
Worldism," and try to seduce these countries into the darkness of
Communism.
Clearly, these Maoists aren't satisfied with the tens of millions
whom their namesake tortured to death. They want more bloodshed.
In this book's last section, we'll examine Maoism's subtle growth in
greater detail.
