The historian, Paul Johnson, once made the comment: “The 20th Century state has proved itself the greatest killer of all time.”
With hardly any exception, all secular states started off by disarming their citizens, quite like what has happened in our own country and what is happening in the USA. For some odd reason, the secular state cannot trust its own citizens sufficiently to maintain a distinction between right and wrong, therefore they have to disarm the people. After all, the secular state argues that there is no God on whose judgement and guidance a society is based, thereby taking away the objective standards of right and wrong and eventually making life cheap. In devaluating God in government, you devalue the lives of your citizens.
In allowing atheism to take hold of a society, moral relativism becomes inevitable. There is nothing sacred anymore, the land itself becomes cheap. Even the French existentialist, Jean Paul Sartre commented on this: “Without God, all activities are equivalent…thus it amounts to the same thing whether one gets drunk alone or is the leader of nations.”
And with this understanding we can now identify the influence of Marxist Communism and our current South African society. If we accept that the collapse of our religious impulse left a void, we also need to start asking: What filled that void? And the history of the 20th century is the answer to that: The totalitarian state, the loss of freedom for millions of people, the concentration camp, the gulag, the rise of abortion, infanticide, euthanasia, suicide, genocide, disproportionate increase of crime and the most savage years in the history of the world… (Dr James Kennedy)
A conservative estimate argues that at least 180 million people were killed by secular governments in the 20Th century alone. Joseph Stalin, the Soviet dictator, was responsible for the death of 40 million people, and he achieved this by quoting and following the credo of Dostoevsky:” If God is dead, everything becomes possible.”
What is even more terrifying about the secular, humanist state, is the fact that there is no authority above the state where the population can turn to. In secular, humanist South Africa we know that all too well! If we regard the state as the highest of authorities, it means that we cannot limit the abuses and oppressions which human nature is capable of. With hardly any exception the humanist state leads to tyranny and despotism and destruction and genocide of a selected group of people.
In Communist Soviet Union alone, Lenin, Stalin and their successors executed (without trial) tens of thousands of “opponents”,destroyed food production and starved to death 5 million people, exterminated the Cossack minority in 1921, liquidated 690 000 people in the purge of 1937, 4 million Ukrainians, and 2 million “Kulaks” were also killed. All in all, under communism in the USSR, China, Cambodia, Vietnam, North Korea and Afghanistan a total of 91,5 million people perished.
And the South African government is not only in coalition with the Communist Party, which is based on these principles, the leaders of this party hold executive key positions in our government. Is it therefore any wonder that the genocide of the white minority does not even prompt a comment from government circles?
Joseph Stalin once observed: “The death of a person is a tragedy, the deaths of millions is a statistic.” The Communist doctrine, teaching secular, “humanist” states where God is declared “dead”, opens the door for the liquidation of everybody who refuses to become a mere tool in the hands of a totalitarian government. Our struggle for justice, for freedom and for survival is therefore primarily also a struggle against communism and in defense of our faith as a Christian nation.
