Wu Chenmou: Global Strategy and The Virus of Communism

The Communist Virus

     The history of humankind progressed into the twentieth century, and the global political landscape underwent tremendous changes due to World War I and World War II, with far-reaching effects that continue to the present. After the First World War, the era of colonial predatory capitalist expansion largely came to an end. Many of the modern world’s major religious issues and ideological conflicts began to manifest after World War II.

    At the same time, the First World War spurred the rise of Communism in Europe, particularly following the October Revolution of the Russian Bolshevik Party in 1917, which established the first Communist totalitarian state. Historical research indicates that Communism originated from Marx’s ideas, clearly articulated in The Communist Manifesto. Later history demonstrated that the utopian Communist system, which ultimately led to slavery, carried the shadow of Marx’s manifesto.

        In addition, the First World War also contributed to the expansion of Islam beyond the Arabian Peninsula, initiating malignant growth and laying the groundwork for the century-long conflicts and confrontations in the Middle East that persist today.

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.
