“Stalin and Kim made human idols of themselves because they believed, as utopian idealists always do, in the ultimate goodness of themselves and the unchallengeable rightness of their decisions. There was no higher power, and so there could be no higher law. If people disagreed with them, it was because those people were in some way defective--insane, malignant, or mercenary. The rulers could not tolerate actual religion, because they could not tolerate any rival authority or any rival source or judge of goodness, gratitude, and justice.” CommunismTyrantsDictatorshipReligious IntoleranceStalinismStalinDictatorsUtopianismUtopian SocialismKim Jong Il Author:Peter Hitchens
