The 20th century was one of the most violent centuries in history, and it can be largely attributed to the ideology of communism. Over 120 million innocent lives were taken through executions, torture, terror, and more – simply for their class or religious beliefs. The real tragedy of this ideology is that it promised equality, justice, and a better life for all its citizens; instead, it resulted in bloodshed and fear.
The three-volume documentary on communism gives viewers an inside look into this often misunderstood ideology and how its philosophies have shaped many leaders throughout history- from Karl Marx to Lenin to Stalin to Mao Zedong and Pol Pot. It provides shocking insight into how the materialist philosophy can twist humans into becoming theorists of violence and cruel masters over their own people.
This documentary should be considered essential viewing for anyone who wants to learn more about this dark chapter of human history. As well as providing a harrowing reminder of the consequences of unchecked power, it encourages viewers to reflect on how those same principles are still present in our modern day society. By understanding what went wrong before, we can work together towards creating a better future where human rights are respected and protected.
