Following the previous subject about communism as a very dangerous ideology, we could summon up that that kind of social arrangement (regime) is easy to recognise by three characteristics: lie, hatred and death.
Maybe the reader of these sequences about the deathliness of ideologies ( and especially about communism that has been present in our land for almost fifty years) will raise up the question of how people couldn’t discover that fraud?
On the one hand, that kind of system was glorified and praised (especially the leader), and on the other hand, that same leader with its repressive mechanism, secret services, and killing of people that they marked as enemies and dissidents, was creating the darkest product of human mind because the self-governing system was an opponent not only to God but to His most precious creature _ man?!?
Many people discovered that fraud later but they didn’t want to accept and admit (to themselves) that communism was an ideology responsible for the death of 80-100 million people at a global level! Just from 1946. to 1990., 600 priests were murdered, and Drine’s martyrs earned to be declared not only beatific but a saint.
In our land, it was easy to see through Evil that seduces people in the same way always, and not just in the past, but in our time also. Unfortunately, people forget about the worthly Latin saying: ‘History is the teacher of life.’
Here is an example: Second World War started on 1st September 1939 with the attack of Hitler’s army on Poland. Before that Hitler raised morale with his hysterical speech in the economically weak Germany at that time, and people were in trans. In his performances, there was an inevitable sentence: ‘ Germany is going to be great or there won’t be Germany!’ and second: ‘ All Germans have to live in one country!’
In German newspapers, there were pictures of assumingly killed people on Poland streets. That was ordered propaganda on how the Polish treat the members of minorities of Sudeten Germans, but in reality, they were looking for a serious reason to protect ‘endangered’ German minorities. Hitler was in a hurry to start conquering the lands of other countries.
Evil is always in a hurry.
That is how the Second World War started and led millions of people to death.
Fifty years later, on 28th June 1989, Serbia on Kosovo (Gazimestan) was celebrating 600 years of the Kosovo battle (1389.). The Turkish army defeated the Serbs. They were actually celebrating defeat as a huge victory?!? That is a sociological phenomenon in small nations. Serbian president at that time Slobodan Milosevic (a conductor of conclusions of the Memorandum SANU) also hysterically makes exclamations just like Hitler: ‘ Serbia is going to be great or there won’t be any Serbia. ‘ and: ‘ All Serbs must live in one country.’ And once again, some reason to go for the defence of Yugoslavia and socialism’ had to be found.
Serbs were ‘endangered’ by the new Croatian government, elected at the first free democratic elections. Serbs put barricades and logs on roads, and organised night watches with weapons in villages.
Anything was staged so that the enemy would have a reason to start military action. The same as Hitler in Poland at the beginning of the Second World War, isn’t it?!?
Evil is always in a hurry, it is not creative and that is why it uses the same matrix as fifty years ago. Every fifty years there is a war on the hill Balkan. (1941, 1991…)
The one who reads the sign of the times as Jesus said how those signs should be read, knew that it will come to war. Croatia paid a lot for her freedom and getting out of the socialistic Yugoslavia community.
At that time there was a socialistic country, the community of Czechs and Slovaks, called Czechoslovakia. During the wave of destroying the Berlin wall and communism, charismatic leader Vaclav Havel organized with the leaders of Slovakia in one afternoon a peaceful disengagement so the two countries sent communism into a dust hole of history.
