Degeneration among Politicians
One important feature of this time is the
emergence of ruthless, cruel leaders who
lead their peoples to disaster. The twentieth
century was full of such people. These individuals,
who adopted ideologies far removed from
the moral values of religion, became notorious
for the cruelties they inflicted and for
the sufferings they caused due to war and
other conflicts.
Chairman Mao had thousands of citizens
killed solely for opposing him, and was
responsible for the deaths of millions during
his regime. Under the influence of fascist
ideology, Mussolini led his people to a
terrible disaster by dragging his country
into World War II. Mobutu has gone down
in history as one of Africa's most ruthless
dictators.
