Wu Chenmou: Global Strategy and The Virus of Communism

The Communist Virus

     The history of humankind has developed into the twentieth century, and the world's political landscape has undergone tremendous changes due to World War I and II. Its far-reaching influence has continued to the present. After the First World War, the colonial predatory capitalist development basically ended. The modern world's major religious issues and ideologies almost all started to manifest after World War II. At the same time, the First World War spurred the rise of Communism in Europe, especially after the October riots of the Russian Bolshevik Party in 1917 that produced the first Communist totalitarian state. According to historical research, Communism originated first from Marx's "Specter," that Marx clearly stated in <The Communist Manifesto>. Later history proved that the utopian communist system that led to the road of slavery had the looming shadow of <The Communist Manifesto>. In addition, the First World War also promoted the Islamic Religion to break out from the Arabian Peninsula and started to expand malignantly. At the same time, it also gave birth to a cancerous root for the century-old conflict and confrontation in the Middle East that is difficult to eradicate.

  “究天人之际，通古今之变。”是汉朝司马迁的治史名言。天问学会（Tian Wen Institute）是在美国注册的NGO学术机构，其成员为当代华语世界的优秀专家学者。天问的成员在多元历史文化的研究过程中，凭着读书人的良知和使命，究天人之道，辨社会之机，试图为中国的社会转型和民族进步奉献出才智。

  中国近现代史是上下五千年历史长河中的拐点时期，其超复杂性和超广泛性，使得它在历史大变局中有着非常重要的特殊地位。历史究竟是什么，历史就是现在与过去之间永无休止的对话，这乃是人类的一个永恒课题。天问学会之所以重点研究中国近现代史，不是因为它的辉煌，也不是缘于它的精彩，而是由于它关系到中国文明的兴衰、民族发展的方向，人性的彰显与道德的拯救等诸多的问题。

  上溯两个世纪以来，几代华人学界先贤们，不管生在何时，无论身处何地，他们先天下之忧而忧，后天下之乐而乐，坚守自由之思想，秉承独立之精神，已经为中国的社会大转型奉献出了毕生的智慧与心血。天问学会以客观、理性、多元、共融为宗旨，通过近现代史上的不同主题和特殊年份，将学界先贤和同仁们有专题性和代表性的优秀文章和学术著作，通过天问出版社的《天问系列丛书》，汇聚成文集或专著作公益性出版。

Wu Chenmou: 全球战略与共产病毒

Communist Virus

 

 吴称谋  David Wu

 

人类历史发展到了二十世纪，世界政治格局因两次世界大战而发生了巨大变化，其深远的影响直至当下。第一次世界大战后，基本结束了殖民掠夺式的资本主义发展之路。世界的主要宗教问题和意识形态几乎都在第一次世界大战后形成基本架构。与此同时，第一次世界大战促使了共产主义在欧洲的兴起，特别是1917年俄国布尔什维克党的十月暴动后产生了第一个共产极权国家。据历史考证，共产主义最初源于马克思的“幽灵”说，马克思在《共产党宣言》里面有明确的表述。后来的历史证明，通往奴役之路的乌托邦共产制度，都有着《共产党宣言》若隐若现的影子。另外，第一次世界大战也促进了伊斯兰教冲出阿拉伯半岛而极度扩张，同时也为中东地区长达百年的冲突和对抗埋下了难以根除的祸因。

The history of humankind has developed into the twentieth century, and the world’s political landscape has undergone tremendous changes due to World War I and II, and its far-reaching influence has continued to the present. After the First World War, the colonial predatory capitalist development basically ended. The major religious issues and ideologies of the modern world almost all started to manifest after the First World War. At the same time, World War I spurred the rise of Communism in Europe, especially after the October riots of the Russian Bolshevik Party in 1917 that produced the first Communist totalitarian state. According to historical research, Communism first was originated from Marx’s “Specter” that Marx clearly stated in <The Communist Manifesto>. Later history proved that the utopian communist system leading to the road of slavery had the looming shadow of <The Communist Manifesto>. In addition, World War I also promoted the Islamic Religion to break out from the Arabian Peninsula and started to expand malignantly. At the same time, it also gave birth to a cancerous root for the century-old conflict and confrontation in the Middle East that is difficult to eradicate.
