Communism is the greatest evil man has ever known. But it does not stand alone in history, nor is it simply some strange, external force. Communism is the modern form of the ancient evil of collectivism, ever the love of the tyrant and the enemy of the individual. It is worse than falsehood and ordinary criminality, because it is an ugly twisting of real values employed by some men of high ability and even genius. It has been and will be, in the words Winston Churchill once applied to communism's Nazi twin, "rendered more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science."
