- [Narrator] Never before have the Chinese people

faced a terror as ruthless and evil

as Mao's Communist party.

Just like Marx, Lenin, and the Deep State,

Mao knew that what religions taught was real

and that Satan is also very real.

Mao sought to destroy the will of the Chinese people

to the point where he believed

no divine being would ever come to their aid.

Through the Cultural Revolution,

the Chinese Communist Party

ruined a 5,000 year old civilization

in 10 years.

So how was Mao able to create

the most destructive regime in human history?

Let's find out.

Communism in China on the Edge of Wonder.

But be warned.

This series may not be for the faint of heart.

- Hello and welcome to our final episode

in this series of exposing communism on Edge of Wonder.

- We felt that there's a lot of misunderstandings

about what communism really is

and wanted to expose it

and how it has been the most destructive force in our world.

- In this episode, we're gonna talk about

the rise of the Chinese Communist Party

and how it has killed more people

than any regime in history.

We have to warn you

there are some extremely graphic details in this episode,

but we feel it's necessary to tell this

to show how evil the Communist Party

has really been in history.

- So parents, you might not want your kiddos

to watch this one.

Let's begin with China's history.

China has one of the most rich and oldest cultures

in this period of our civilization.

With over 5,000 years history,

the Chinese people have shaped so many aspects

of our ways of life.

- [Ben] Throughout all these years,

many dynasties came and went

with the cultural landscape drastically changing

with each emperor.

Some were very noble and upright,

and some brought destruction to their people.

- However, no matter how bad the worst emperors were,

they all still believed in the divine.

Just their understanding may have been skewed.

Even Genghis Khan never considered himself

to be a ruthless barbarian.

He even said,

- [Reader] I am the punishment of God.

If you had not committed great sins,

God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.

- So why are we bringing this up?

Just to note that most of the Chinese wars

throughout history were fought over land,

religious beliefs, or control over a population.

However, once an emperor gained control,

he would have those people be a part of everyday society,

just under a new emperor,

and life would continue on.

- Never before have the Chinese people ever faced a terror

as ruthless and evil as Mao's Communist Party.

Even the name of Chinese Communist Party in Chinese

has Satanic roots.

The traditional character dang means party or gang,

consists of two radicals,

which correspond to the words promote and dark.

- So when you combine these two radicals together,

it literally translates to promoting darkness.

Even Confucius said,

- [Rob] People who help one another

conceal their wrongdoings are said to be forming a gang.

- Or it could also be translated as a cabal.

- [Rob] The goal of communism

is to destroy belief in any kind of faith.

Thus without faith, the people would then turn

to its ruling party as their new god.

- So how did China go

from being the most deeply spiritual-rooted country

to becoming the most atheistic and communist countries ever?

- Well everyone, that is exactly what this episode is about,

the rise of the Chinese Communist Party.

Most historians think China's contemporary era

started around the mid-1800s,

which was during the Qing Dynasty.

China soon started to go through a Westernization movement

where they opened up trade with the West

for goods and weapons.

- But internally China started facing

tremendous and painful turmoils.

Many of the intellectuals got together

to come up with ways of saving the country and its people,

but with another war on the verge of breaking out with Japan

and other national issues,

their ideas only became disappointments leading to despair.

- As stated in the The Epoch Times,

Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party,

- [Reader] Like people who turn to any available doctor

in times of illness,

they looked outside China for a solution.

When the British and French styles failed,

they switched to the Russian method.

They did not hesitate to prescribe

the most extreme remedy for the illness

in the hope that China would quickly become strong.

- Their remedy, communism.

They wanted to take the easy way out

and thought that this ideology

would free them of their burdens.

Unfortunately, they couldn't have been more wrong.

(foreboding music)

- Now before we get into what happened,

let's bring up one of the most ruthless leaders

in pretty much the history of our current civilization,

Mao Zedong.

You might be batting an eye when we say that,

but after this episode,

you will be agreeing with us for sure.

- In 1911, the Xinhai Revolution

began against the Qing Dynasty,

and 17-year-old Mao decided to join the Revolutionary Army

and the Kuomintang or the KMT for short,

which is the Chinese Nationalist Party,

and who formed the first Republic of China.

- According to Fritz Springmeier,

author of the Bloodlines of the Illuminati,

Mao had wanted to go to a Christian missionary school,

but they rudely threw him out because he was Chinese.

Fritz said he never forgot this

and vowed to get his revenge on Christianity and on God.

- So we don't know for certain if this is true,

but either way it makes perfect sense

why Mao turned to Leninist and Marxist ideology

after the Soviet Revolution in 1919

and started to get members in the KMT

to join his Chinese Communist Party.

- Mao believed that China had too many people

and the country was using too much resources, land, and food

for the Chinese people

and wished to eliminate anyone

who wouldn't go along with his bidding.

- Recycling that old eugenics theory, I guess.

How original.

He already started to form his plan,

which was destroying the Four Olds.

He felt that these would stand in his way,

which for his so-called communist utopia,

and these were old customs, old culture,

old habits, and old ideas.

- In reality, he wanted destroy traditional culture

so Chinese people would forget their roots.

Then it would be easier for them

to accept his new communist ideology and its propaganda.

Such as, without the CCP, there would be no new China.

- As for the Four Olds, for example,

the old habits would be referring to our faith in the divine

or belief in religion.

If he destroyed this, then his new Communist Party

would become the new god for the Chinese people,

and they can force people to worship it.

- The old ideas would be thoughts and ideas

of ancient scholars that helped shape China

to which it became before the party took over

and how almost everyone believed in virtue and karma.

- [Rob] Old customs would actually break up the family

and then install its own ideology and propaganda

into the next generation of children.

- Old culture was actually referring

to the Chinese language itself.

Every single Chinese character has meaning behind it.

For example, the traditional character for dragon or long

is actually in the shape of a dragon,

which happens to be on my shirt.

- Oh. (Ben laughs)

However, now the simplified character removed the dragon,

and now the original meaning is lost.

There's so many more examples of this.

- The traditional character for love

has the character for heart inside of it.

This meant that people love you for your actions.

However, the CCP removed the heart from the character,

which it now loses its original nature.

They basically cut the heart out of it.

The sad part is

now the inner meanings behind the traditional characters

have been completely lost to the modern day Chinese people,

especially the younger generation.

- Mao wanted to destroy traditional values,

so the CCP decided to simplify their own language

in order for people to forget their roots and their culture

and where they came from.

- [Ben] So how was Mao able to create

the most destructive regime in human history?

Just like a snake sneaking up on its prey waiting to strike,

Mao was waiting for the right opportunity to arise.

- It was also during this time

that Lenin and Stalin realized

that the US would become a threat to them.

So in order to combat this, they needed China on their side.

So the Bolsheviks sent their representatives to China

to start setting up communist organizations,

and soon an alliance was formed with the KMT.

- Over the next 30 years, the CCP actually became

an organ of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union,

and Mao was receiving a monthly stipend,

about 170 yuan from the Russians.

- Now that may not seem like much in today's world,

but back then the average monthly salary

of a worker in Shanghai at that time was around 20 yuan.

- Because of these meetings, Mao's Communist Party

was able to experience very rapid growth,

but still wouldn't be able to overthrow the KMT.

So Mao decided he would support both sides,

but secretly was trying to take down the KMT from within.

- Soon a civil war broke out between the two sides,

and Mao suffered a heavy defeat at the hands of the KMT.

His Communist Party was on the verge of collapse.

Then out of fear, it loudly proclaimed that, quote,

"Chinese do not fight Chinese,"

and promised to submit itself to the leadership of the KMT.

- Secretly Mao was waiting for the right opportunity

to destroy the KMT,

and he didn't care who he killed to win

or with what methods he used for that victory.

- It was basically like a warped version of The Art of War.

- Yeah.

- When World War II broke out

and China was at war with Japan,

Mao took full advantage of the situation

and concocted a plan so evil

that would guarantee his victory over the KMT.

- Mao knew that if he had his troops fight the Japanese,

he would lose,

but if he joined forces with the KMT against the Japanese,

the KMT would come out as the victors,

and he wouldn't be able to take over China.

So what did he do?

He had his troops fight alongside with the Japanese

against the KMT.

- To quote the Nine Commentaries again here,

- [Reader] The CCP exhorted people

in the KMT-controlled areas to rebel,

calling on workers to strike,

peasants to make trouble,

students to boycott classes,

poor people to quit working,
