erning society according to their own ideas. When we look at the verses
relating to Pharaoh, we see that his administration was an oligarchic
class, composed of advisors, magicians and soldiers. In order to keep the
people bound to Pharaoh's administration, the magicians controlled
their thinking. The soldiers ensured the same control by brute force.
Communist regimes are the modern counterpart of the godless oli-
garchic system mentioned in the Qur'an. Communists started out by of-
fering "power of the people," but in every country where t they came to
power, they established minority power relying on domination. All po-
litical power in the country passed into the hands of a party that bore the
name of the "proletarian party" or Workers' Party, but had no relation-
ship with the workers. The decision-making mechanisms—known as
the Communist Party Central Committee and the Politburo, together
with the General Secretary over them—retained all the power and used
it mercilessly. In Communist regimes, all the supposedly "democratic"
mechanisms, such as elections and party congresses, were only a show.

The "Destruction of Crops and Breeding Stock"

When describing the quality of godless administrations in the
Qur'an (2:205-206), God draws our attention to something very impor-

ing it, destroying (people's) crops and breeding stock. God does
not love corruption. When he is told to heed God, he is seized by
pride which drives him to wrongdoing. Hell will be enough for
him! What an evil resting-place!
Notice that "going about the earth corrupting it" and "destroying
crops and breeding stock" in these verses precisely describe the slaugh-
ters and collectivization implemented by Communist regimes of the
Soviet Union, Red China, and Cambodia. Lenin, Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot
forced an atmosphere of fear and terror on their countries. By imple-
menting Lysenko's evolutionist nonsense, they destroyed all the prod-
ucts of agriculture, killed countless numbers, and nearly erased a whole
generation. Later, it is revealed in this same verse that the people who
