Page 109 - Communist Chinas Policy of Oppression in East Turkestan

Mao Tse-Tung in an angry moment (as late as 1964) swore that "all
demons shall be annihilated." He dehumanized his enemies, partly in
traditional hyberbole, partly in Social Darwinian "realism." Like the An-
archists, he saw reactionaries as evolutionary throwbacks, who de-
served extinction. The people's enemies were non-people, and they did
not deserve to be treated as people. 3
Mao's own words confirmed those of Pusey. One of the slogans of
the founder of Red China at that time was "The basis of Chinese so-
cialism rests on Darwin and the theory of evolution." 4
The Muslims of East Turkestan came to be one of those societies
that Mao, inspired by the Darwinist World view, thought had no right
to "be treated as human." The reason was because the
beliefs of the people of East Turkestan led them
to fiercely oppose communism. However,
their rightful protest was put down with
utter ruthlessness and as a result millions
of its children have been martyred by
the communist regime. East Turkestan
is still living under this repression.
Hundreds of thousands of Muslims
have been tortured in Chinese prisons,
cast out of their homes, and obliged to
leave their land.

A s Mao himself confessed, the most important
ideological support of the communist regime in
China is Darwin's theory of evolution. In his
book China and Charles Darwin, the Harvard
University historian James Reeve Pusey de-
scribes the great influence of Darwinism in
China and how it prepared the intellectual foun-
dations of communism.
