HUMAN RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS FOREVER!
Home of the HUMAN RIGHTS EDUCATION FOR LASTING FREE DEMOCRACY Book Series
On which is presented below (from the books, but without the extensive development of and unpacking in the books) The Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy (Plus 10 Core Principles of Lasting Democracy), with an invitation to societal dialogue about these principles (send feedback to dialogue@WilliamBaptiste.com). Non-partisan Thinker, Human Rights scholar and Logician William Baptiste posits that there are no known principles and guidelines that better guarantee the long-term continuance of Human Rights and Free Democracy for centuries on firm foundations (in the academic disciplines of History, Science, Logic, and Philosophy), and therefore our modern democracies, which are all suffering serious compromises of normal Human Rights and freedoms, should update their constitutions so as to constitutionally enshrine The Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy without current serious compromises of them (such as legal human-killing by abortion, which legally eradicates the Inherent Human Right to Live). Anyone who thinks our society can do without these principles, or continue to eradicate them with things like legal human-killing by abortion, is hereby given The Intellectual Honesty Challenge (described in the booksf), to which they must respond or else they tacitly admit they have no answer to the overwhelming evidence from Human Rights History, Science, Logic and Philosophy collected in the HUMAN RIGHTS EDUCATION FOR LASTING FREE DEMOCRACY Book Series.
The background facts from Science, Logic, and Human Rights History that overwhelmingly prove the need for today’s governments to constitutionally enshrine some form of William Baptiste’s below Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy (and follow some form of William Baptiste’s Ten Principles of Lasting Democracy) – which will include the need for re-criminalizing abortion to re-establish the Inherent Human Right to Live (no exceptions) which is vital to lasting Human Rights and freedoms – are presented in William Baptiste’s HUMAN RIGHTS EDUCATION FOR LASTING FREE DEMOCRACY Book Series; but for convenience the basic gist of these facts are presented in the briefest possible form in the following .pdf (and graphic) link,
WHY WE MUST END ABORTION TO SAVE DEMOCRACY AND RELIGIOUS FREEDOM FOR ALL – 1 SHEET PRO-LIFE 2.0 APOLOGETIC PROVING PRO-LIFE EQUALS PRO-DEMOCRACY
“Politics sets the parameters of how you live your life; what choices you have or do not have; how free or not free you are in your country. So, it is silly to not be involved in politics. Every citizen where democracy still exists should at least be minimally engaged in politics by making educated votes that ensure their country at least maintains the foundations of Human Rights and freedoms, and so does not eventually become a totalitarian State due to voter ignorance of and a lack of voter vigilance for The Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy . . .
. . . William Baptiste (and Human Rights and Freedoms Forever!) is utterly non-partisan, and does not care which party governs as long as democracy’s foundations are intact, and so is not inclined to vilify any particular party of “Left” or “Right” in any country but simply calls ALL political parties worldwide (and bureaucrats, police, judges and journalists and “Big Media,” “Big Pharma” and “Big Tech” billionaires and personnel who now wield such massive influence) to get back to their democracy’s historical and logical foundations if they have forgotten them and strayed . . .
. . . Remember that in democratic governments “of the people, by the people, for the people,” citizens govern themselves, through their elected representatives. This means the responsibility of governing well ultimately rests with each citizen voter. And they cannot possibly govern themselves well and democratically, through intelligently elected representatives who govern well and avoid totalitarianism, if neither the citizen voters nor their elected representatives even know The Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy, nor are even held constitutionally accountable to uphold them . . .

THE FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLES OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND DEMOCRACY
Human Rights are Inherent; Equal; Inalienable – and Non-Partisan
“There can be no acceptable future without an honest analysis of the past.”
— Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
“The foundation stones of a great building are destined to groan and be pressed upon.”
— Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
I pledge allegiance to Democracy, and to the implicit foundational principles on which Democracy is historically and logically built and which it needs to explicitly restore in order to survive currently escalating and accelerating 21st Century worldwide trends of ‘Creeping Totalitarianism’ and last long-term on its foundations (I pledge allegiance to . . . The Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy) . . .
FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLE OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND DEMOCRACY #1: EQUAL HUMAN PRECIOUSNESS, NO EXCEPTIONS
Every human life without exception, without discrimination and “without distinction of any kind” is supremely and equally valuable and precious, obligating governments to protect and serve all precious humans who have “inherent . . . equal and inalienable [human] rights,” [quoted phrases are from the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights which clarifies that “recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world”] . . .
FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLE OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND DEMOCRACY #2: FREEDOM OF SPEECH/ THOUGHT/ RELIGION/ BELIEF
Every human must be FREE from government coercion in matters of belief (must have Freedom of Thought/Religion, and Speech) so they can without impediment hear, learn and speak the equal human preciousness that grounds Human Rights and Democracy . . . These two principles together are the implicit underlying First Principles or logical starting point of both Human Rights and Democracy as we know it . . . [which entered Western consciousness in the 4th Century through the Christian Church]
10 Core Principles of Lasting Democracy
CORE PRINCIPLE OF LASTING DEMOCRACY #1: UNCOMPROMISING LEGAL RECOGNITION OF THE INHERENT HUMAN RIGHT TO LIVE
Lasting Democracy requires full and uncompromising legal recognition of The Inherent Human Right to Live and the traditional Western belief expressed in the simple maxim killing humans is wrong, because Human Rights are for All Humans or else they are meaningless (if being human is not enough to have them) . . . Therefore, human-killing abortion must be re-criminalized in any lasting democracy as a necessary condition of democracy lasting long-term . . .
CORE PRINCIPLE OF LASTING DEMOCRACY #2: TRADITIONAL WESTERN PRO-LIFE FAMILY VALUES
Traditional Western “Pro-Human-Right-to-Live” or “Pro-Life” Family Values Include and Support The Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy which make governmental totalitarianism unthinkable, and must be promoted in any LASTING democracy . . . Traditional Family Values when followed ensure every human is born into stable loving families where humans are always treated as precious human persons, never as mere objects or tools to be used (or thrown away), and raised to healthy human maturity within these stable loving families which are the building blocks of stable caring societies . . .
CORE PRINCIPLE OF LASTING DEMOCRACY #3: JUST CRIMINAL LAWS
Lasting Democracy does not grant unqualified freedom to individual humans, but Lasting Democracy restricts individual freedom with just criminal laws which uphold The Inherent Human Right to Live and the maxim killing humans is wrong; laws which protect the Human Rights and property of other humans and encourage mature respect for all humanity which ensures that humans are always treated as precious persons not as mere tools or objects to be used or thrown away. For lasting world peace nation-States also need to be guided by just International Laws which similarly uphold The Inherent Human Right to Live, Equal Human Rights for All Humans and the maxim killing humans is wrong . . .
CORE PRINCIPLE OF LASTING DEMOCRACY #4: CONSTITUTIONAL ACCOUNTABILITY TO FOUNDATIONS
Lasting Democracy does not grant an unqualified “anything the majority asks for or accepts from the government,” but Lasting Democracy MUST hold its citizens and its politicians (and judges, unelected bureaucrats, elected political parties and police) constitutionally accountable to The Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy including the Inherent Human Right to Live and the maxim killing humans is wrong because Human Rights are for All Humans, or else genuine Democracy can easily be lost to ‘Creeping Totalitarianism’ wherein democracies (like 1930s Germany) gradually but increasingly take on the characteristics of totalitarian States (all of which deny killing humans is wrong and all of which think the government decides which humans may or may not be legally killed instead of recognizing lasting democratic government’s foundation that governments are obligated to always protect and serve always-precious human lives because Human Rights are for All Humans) (Hitler’s Nazis were democratically elected by voters who did not hold government accountable to human equality) . . .
CORE PRINCIPLE OF LASTING DEMOCRACY #5: HUMAN RIGHTS EDUCATION
Lasting Democracy requires that all citizens as part of their basic education as citizens of a Free Democracy be taught and know The Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy which all Human Rights and democratic freedoms are historically and logically built on and cannot last without (which is why they should also be constitutionally enshrined for accountability in any democracy which wants to last, as per Core Principles #4 and #8. But our modern democracies have failed on both counts!). Uneducated ignorance of the foundations of Free Democracy guarantees its eventual failure. Basic Human Rights Education in The Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy equips all citizens to guard and protect their own freedom even from uneducated politicians. This education makes citizens of democracies too educated to unwittingly cast votes for extremist politicians and extremist political parties who (wittingly or unwittingly) do not even uphold The Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy, but who in their own uneducated ignorance may even follow the totalitarian legal human-killing precedent of the Extremist Left Atheist Marxist Soviet Communist Party which first legalized human-killing abortion, or of the Extremist Right (Fascist) German Nazi Party (full name: The National Socialist German Workers’ Party under Adolf Hitler) which first legalized both human-killing abortion and human-killing euthanasia (legal human-killing is of course inherently extremist. It is no surprise that the first two governments to legalize human-killing by abortion also later committed the two biggest genocides in history – also making the mass-killing of humans by genocide legal. The legal abortion-killing of humans had already established that extremist Left Soviet Russia and extremist Right Nazi Germany did not believe in the Inherent Human Right to Live which grounds Democracy). In democracies “of the people, by the people, for the people,” citizens govern themselves, through their elected representatives. This means the responsibility of governing well and maintaining Free Democracy on its solid historical, philosophical, scientific and logical foundations ultimately rests with each citizen voter, which is why each citizen voter must be educated in Democracy’s foundations (why would any political system last if its foundational First Principles are not even taught to those who live under it and are supposed to be part of it?). Citizens cannot possibly govern themselves well and democratically, through intelligently elected representatives who govern well and avoid totalitarianism for the long-term, if neither the citizen voters nor their elected representatives even know The Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy, nor are even held constitutionally accountable to uphold them.
To further assist lasting Free Democracy, Logic needs to be compulsory in high schools to ensure future voters and future politicians both know how to think clearly, logically, scientifically and with intellectual honesty, so they can vote and govern intelligently and not be so easily fooled (even by textbook logical fallacies) into destroying the foundations of their own freedom, as they have been up until now. For example, every single argument proposed to defend in democracies the totalitarian extremist (originally Soviet and Nazi) policy of legal abortion uses one or more textbook logical fallacies (which voters would know better than to be fooled by if they were actually educated in Logic). Totalitarian policies breed more totalitarian policies to protect them, and now democracies (including the author’s country) which are compromised by illogical and totalitarian abortion policies are starting to pass more totalitarian laws against normal democratic freedoms of speech, expression, assembly, conscience and religion of Pro-Life doctors and Pro-Life Human Rights advocates. Having no justification for legal abortion from Science nor Logic nor Human Rights History, in order to keep abortion legal Pro-Choice legal abortion-supporting governments today are restricting normal democratic freedoms specifically for the sake of “abortion access” completely unhindered by the free speech (even of scientific facts) of those who believe in the Pro-Life Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy which say that killing humans is wrong because humans have Inherent Human Rights (this author can be arrested and imprisoned under current laws in his country for saying this). When citizen voters and politicians know neither The Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy, nor how to think clearly, consistently, and logically (nor how to avoid logical fallacies of reasoning), Free Democracy is sure to fail and not last.
For convenience, below is presented the briefest possible three-paragraph overview of the basic Science, Logic, and Human Rights History that (presented in much more detail in this author’s HUMAN RIGHTS EDUCATION FOR LASTING FREE DEMOCRACY Book Series) overwhelmingly proves that Pro-Life Equals Pro-Democracy:
Science: Every Human Life is the Same Unique Living Individual Biological Human Organism with Absolutely Unique Human DNA Utterly Distinct from His or Her Parents at Every Age and Stage of His or Her Human Life-cycle (zygote to senior adult). All of the following terms are commonly used to describe this SAME objective scientific reality: “everyone,” “people,” “human,” “human life,” “human being,” “human person,” “adult,” “teenager,” “senior,” “man,” “woman,” “male,” “female,” “child,” “toddler,” “baby,” “pregnancy,” “fetus,” “embryo,” “handicapped,” “disabled” “healthy,” “Jew,” “Gentile, “Black,” White.” It is intellectually dishonest and logically inconsistent and unsound (not to mention bigoted) to treat the same objective scientific reality of a human life differently (having different value and rights) based on the mere choice of different wording to describe the same underlying human existence (which is what human being means). Only bigots deny human personhood to human beings.
Logic: Perfectly Sound and Scientific Logical Syllogism: All Humans Have Human Rights. Preborn Humans are Humans. Therefore, Preborn Humans have Human Rights. ALL Pro-Choice “arguments” are logical fallacies of distraction which with intellectual dishonesty AVOID THE QUESTION of the Human Rights of the humans killed in abortions.
Human Rights History: “Top 6” Facts 1: Legal Pro-Choice Abortion and Totalitarian Government Were Both NORMAL Before There Were Any Legally Recognized Human Rights and Human Life was Cheap Not Precious and Served the Greater State. 2: Legal Human Rights Started with the 4th Century Criminalization of Abortion Due to the Ancient (Christian) Pro-Life Principle that All Humans are Equally Precious Not Cheap, Implicitly Establishing The Inherent Human Right to Live Which State Governments are Obligated to Protect. 3: Preborn Humans Were Protected in the Womb by Western Law or Custom from the 4th Century Until the 20th Century De-Criminalization of Abortion First by the Evil Extremist Left Soviet and Extremist Right Nazi Parties (“Pro-Choice” vs. “Pro-Life” is NOT a Matter of Political “Left” vs. “Right,” But a Matter of Fundamentally Totalitarian, Extremist Thinking Which Supports Human-Killing vs. Fundamentally Democratic Thinking Which Supports Human Protection). 4: In 1948 the Free World Condemned Legal Abortion as “A Crime Against Humanity” at the Nuremberg War Crimes Trials; Affirmed that Doctors Do Not Kill Humans “From the Time of Conception” in the Declaration of Geneva; and the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights Declared Human Rights are for ALL humans “without distinction of any kind” because “recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of ALL members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world;” In 1948 the West Still Knew Killing Humans Is Wrong and That Human Freedom from Totalitarianism Depends on These “Pro-Life” Values. 5: The “Free West” Uneducated in the Above Facts of Human Rights History Ignorantly Followed the Totalitarian Precedent of Legal Human-Killing Abortion and is Now Showing the Logical Totalitarian Fruit with Pro-Choice Political Parties in Power Passing Totalitarian Laws Against Free Speech (etc.) because They Cannot Win an Intellectually Honest Argument Based on Facts of Science, Logic, and Human Rights History. 6: Legal Slavery and Legal Abortion Are Both Fundamentally Incompatible with Democracy Since Both Deny the Equal Human Preciousness and Equal Human Rights for All Humans Which Ground Democracy. As with Slavery, Either Legal Abortion or Democracy Will END Because They Are Entirely Incompatible.
Furthermore, all of the various threats to human life and democratic freedom today come from ideology instead of education and can be traced to a predominantly Relativistic instead of predominantly Realistic view of the universe in one’s (usually unconscious) underlying philosophical worldview. Today’s many threats to Human Rights and democratic freedoms are ultimately rooted in philosophically (Skeptical) Relativism (which ultimately doubts or denies there even are any objective facts or science which can be certainly known, but everything is “subjective” and “relative”) instead of (Scientific) Realism. Thus, a basic philosophical worldview which accords with the Traditional Western philosophical Realism which implicitly underlies the Common Sense which daily prevents humans from dying stupidly, and which explicitly grounds all Science, Logic, and Technology, is also ultimately vital to lasting democracy (for more see the author’s book Realism Versus Relativism: The Philosophical Incompatibility Underlying Today’s Polarized Politics).
“One world, one mankind cannot exist in the face of . . . two scales of values: We shall be torn apart by this disparity of rhythm, this disparity of vibrations.” — Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Opposed to the (Skeptical) Relativism which gave the world solipsism (the demented belief that nothing outside one’s own mind certainly exists – a philosophy that mimics a mental disorder) and Marxism (which has killed more people than anything else – over 94 million deaths caused by Marxist policies in the 20th Century alone), (Scientific) Realism (Aristotelian and Scholastic or Thomist, as used in the European universities which developed Modern Science and the Modern Scientific Method), is also the philosophical framework within which The Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy were historically and logically developed. Therefore, a HUMAN RIGHTS EDUCATION FOR LASTING FREE DEMOCRACY includes some solid introduction to the most pertinent facts of the History of Philosophy, as in the above-mentioned book.
CORE PRINCIPLE OF LASTING DEMOCRACY #6: HUMAN LIFE ISSUES ARE NON-PARTISAN
PRO-CHOICE VS. PRO-LIFE IS NOT “LEFT” VS. “RIGHT” BUT EXTREMIST TOTALITARIAN VS. DEMOCRATIC THINKING (Human-Protecting Democratic Thinking Which Both Political “Left” and “Right” Shared at the Formation of Our Western Democracies)
“Pro-Life” and “Pro-Choice” mindsets are distinct ways of thinking about human life that have drastically different ultimate logical political outcomes once mature: The “Pro-Life” mindset that every human life without exception is supremely and equally precious and therefore must be free from government coercion to without impediment seek and find this truth about inherent human preciousness and inherent Human Rights logically leads ultimately towards democratic say or vote for every equally precious human. The “Pro-Choice” mindset wherein parents have the “Right to CHOOSE” to raise or KILL their own human children means humans are not inherently precious but humans can be killed when deemed inconvenient, as in any totalitarian State, which logically leads ultimately towards totalitarianism (which is why in fact the two oppressive totalitarian States which committed history’s two biggest genocides were also the first two nations to legalize abortion – before legalizing genocide. Which is why the totalitarian Soviet Marxist State which first legalized abortion in 1920 and which legalized the genocide murder of millions of this writer’s Ukrainian ethnicity in 1932-33 also made it illegal to speak of the legal human-killing; and which is why officially Pro-Choice political parties in this writer’s supposed democracy today have passed laws against Free Speech of Pro-Life views advocating Equal Human Rights for All Humans precisely where it is most pertinent to do so – today’s officially Pro-Choice political parties have imitated the totalitarian Soviets both in legalizing human-killing abortion and in suppressing Free Speech against legal human-killing). The Pro-Life mindset saturating a society makes governmental totalitarianism unthinkable in a way nothing else can; while the Pro-Choice mindset saturating a society makes governmental totalitarianism inevitable.
How could the Pro-Choice denial of the Inherent Human Right to Live which grounds Free Democracy, by legalizing human-killing by abortion, following the genocidal Soviet and Nazi precedents of legalizing abortion, possibly make any society more just, free or compassionate? (The Soviets and Nazis were the first to legalize abortion specifically because neither evil regime believed killing humans is wrong). Rather, the essentially Pro-Life Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy mean that unhappily pregnant women (for sympathetic or unsympathetic reasons) are equally as precious as their human babies. Thus, a “Pro-Life-minded” society that truly supports Equal Human Rights for All Humans without exceptions (since exceptions are inherently bigoted); a society that truly supports the equal human preciousness that is the very foundation of Free Democracy, a society which is thus drenched in Pro-Life thinking, will both protect preborn humans (just like every one of us at their age) in the womb, and find creative ways to assist and support unfortunate women pregnant when they do not wish to be (whether due to rare sympathetic cases like rape, or otherwise) so that these precious human women do not come to feel so desperate or devoid of options that they are tempted to commit abortions which kill their equally precious human children. Abortions which, if legal, follow totalitarian precedents and legally eradicate the Inherent Human Right to Live which is foundational to Free Democracy for all humans. But a society that foolishly and unwittingly compromises Free Democracy by following the legal human-killing precedent of the genocidal Soviets and Nazis, the two extremist political parties which were the first to legalize abortion, is naturally in very grave danger of eventually losing all pretense of Free Democracy. As proved (among other things) by the fact that this Human Rights scholar and author (and other peaceful Pro-Life Human Rights advocates) can be arrested and jailed in his country for saying “killing humans is wrong because Human Rights are for all humans;” and real doctors who follow the ancient Hippocratic Medical Tradition that doctors do not kill can lose their jobs; under current laws and policies passed by Officially Pro-Choice political parties in power. Because legal human-killing is inherently politically extremist and requires more totalitarian laws (ending Free Democracy) to keep the human-killing legal long-term.
Political “Left” and “Right” used to share the essentially Pro-Life conviction that without exception killing humans is wrong. Extreme Left Soviet Marxist Communist Socialists and Extreme Right Nazi Fascists (but note that “Nazi” is short for “National Socialists” in German) were the first two political parties to legalize human-killing by abortion. Human Life issues are non-partisan and “Pro-Choice” vs. “Pro-Life” is NOT an issue of political “Left” vs. “Right.” “Pro-Choice” vs. “Pro-Life” is rather an issue of Fundamentally Totalitarian and Extremist Thinking that supports Human-Killing vs. Fundamentally Democratic Thinking that supports Human Protection.
“A Democratic State is constituted of legal protection of humans as precious, with inherent, equal, inalienable Human Rights not given them by the government.
A Totalitarian State is constituted as greater than the humans it governs, and thus the State decides just which humans have which rights, if any, legislating just which humans may or may not be killed by abortion, euthanasia, genocide, etc.”
— William Baptiste
CORE PRINCIPLE OF LASTING DEMOCRACY #7: HUMANS ARE EQUAL; IDEAS ARE NOT EQUAL
Nothing could be more obvious than that holding that people are equal does not make the ideas people have equal. Ideas and opinions can be tested against objective standards like Science and Logic and established facts of History. Pro-Choice opinions are proven extremely uneducated and unintelligent opinions when tested against these standards (as well as politically dangerous to democracy, as they literally follow totalitarian precedents), as shown in the author’s books in the HUMAN RIGHTS EDUCATION FOR LASTING FREE DEMOCRACY Series. It is the historic “Pro-Life” principles of equal human preciousness without exception underlying Democracy that say that every human is equal in the first place – so “Pro-Choicers” are borrowing from what they deny when they want to have their Pro-Choice opinion treated as if it was “equal” to someone else’s Pro-Life opinion (human equality is a traditional, Judeo-Christian, “Pro-Life” assertion effectively denied by “Pro-Choicers” who believe they should have the choice to legally kill humans by abortion, effectively denying any Pro-Life, democracy-grounding Inherent Human Right to Live). But it is manifestly true that not all ideas and opinions people have are equal in value; in quality; even in conformity with objective, verifiable reality; and it is obviously the case that ideas and opinions are not equal even if humans themselves are equal in value and rights (which is a Pro-Life assertion, not a Pro-Choice one). Nothing could be more obvious than that uneducated Pro-Choice opinions are not equal with educated Pro-Life opinions. Educated Pro-Life opinions are backed up by all the most pertinent facts of Science, Logic, and Human Rights History, while Pro-Choice opinions can only be held by the uneducated, intellectually dishonest (or unintelligent; or “ideologically lobotomized” and thus “willfully unintelligent”) who can and do only defend legal abortion by denying established facts of Science (like that preborn humans are humans) and/or by using textbook logical fallacies of reasoning (see the above book series).
CORE PRINCIPLE OF LASTING DEMOCRACY #8: PRIVATE INDIVIDUAL FREEDOMS CAN ONLY BE GUARANTEED BY PUBLIC POLICIES/LAWS BEING CONSTITUTIONALLY ACCOUNTABLE TO UPHOLD THE FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLES OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND DEMOCRACY
To prevent poor, illogical, uneducated thinking among the population making a democracy slip gradually towards becoming a totalitarian “Police State,” and to protect the private individual freedoms of all citizens, Lasting Democracy requires that democratic governments and their elected politicians and political parties and unelected bureaucrats/civil servants and police and judges be sworn to uphold the constitutionally-enshrined Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy as the guide of public policy, so that government public policies and laws (and police enforcement of them) are always accountable to them and never undermine the foundations of Free Democracy (no matter what uneducated, stupid, senseless or dangerous ideas and opinions may be held by some, even many, individual citizens as they exercise their individual private freedom of belief which is guaranteed only by educated and genuinely democratic public policies and laws).
This individual human Freedom of Speech/Thought/Religion/Belief articulated in FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLE OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND DEMOCRACY #2 is itself built upon FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLE OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND DEMOCRACY #1, equal human preciousness without exception and the Inherent Human Right to Live which governments are obligated to protect. This means that publicly promoting or enforcing privately-held beliefs (such as Pro-Choice beliefs) contrary to the equal human preciousness which grounds individual freedom of belief in the first place is logically self-destructive to lasting human freedom and democracy. There is a grave potential danger of individual citizens in a Free Society freely holding or expressing uneducated or unintelligent, dangerous, or anti-democratic opinions which gradually undermine Free Society. This danger is especially present if, as so often today, citizens were never educated in The Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy in the first place, such that uneducated and anti-human, ultimately anti-democratic opinions took root instead. Ultimately anti-democratic and totalitarian-oriented opinions like racist Neo-Nazi opinions or bigoted legal human-killing abortion opinions which follow totalitarian Soviet Marxist (Extreme Left) and Nazi Fascist (Extreme Right) precedents.
[Aside – Note that most insidious and deadly dangerous of all are Marxist opinions, more recently re-cast in the form of today’s Neo-Marxist Identity Politics/Cancel Culture opinions which, (following Karl Marx’s example) unrealistically and simplistically reinterprets all political history in terms of toxic, adversarial class struggles between those given Marxist labels of “oppressed class” and “privileged/oppressor” class, fomenting resentment and hatred between groups in order to create enough political instability to assist a Marxist takeover, in order to attempt the seductively beautiful but utterly unrealistic “Marxist egalitarian Utopia” (which Marx himself said could only be achieved through bloody revolution). Marxism in practice to date has killed more people than anything else in history, with over 94 million people killed under Marxist policies in the 20th Century alone, according to the large scholarly tome The Black Book of Communism: Crimes, Terror, Repression. The first ten million of these victims of Marxism were of the author’s Ukrainian ethnic heritage in the Holodomor Genocide – which is why the author is duty-bound to warn the West of the insidious dangers of Marxist ideology. As did Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, who lived 18 years in the West (USA) after being exiled from Marxist Soviet Russia for exposing its atrocities in his book The Gulag Archipelago. Solzhenitsyn, whose mother was also of this author’s ethnic heritage, likewise warned the West that the same Marxist ideology which destroyed his beloved Russia had also firmly planted itself in Western education and media and was taking the West slowly to the same totalitarian ends as Soviet Russia, just by a different route. Decades later, Solzhenitsyn’s warning has proven true, right before our eyes, to those properly educated and not “ideologically lobotomized” by the Marxist-influenced “education” Solzhenitsyn warned the West of. Any Marxist-type thinking always pitting “oppressed” against “privileged” makes impossible mutual respect and cooperation between groups for the Common Good of all, which is based instead in the equal human preciousness incorporated into The Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy. The officially Pro-Choice legal human-killing (following Soviet Marxist precedent) Neo-Marxist Identity Politics organization calling itself Black Lives Matter (which gets angry and even violent if anyone suggests “all lives matter,” because you cannot cause Marxist mayhem and political instability on that Equal Human Rights for All Humans principle), is run by self-described Marxists who are deliberately leading riots and looting and burning of cars in the U.S. while these words are being written, precisely for anti-democratic Marxist purposes.]
But the very real, and now very present danger to Democracy posed by citizens being free to in private believe anything at all, free to be stupid, free to be Neo-Marxist or Neo-Nazi or whatever, is greatly reduced as long as the government and its agents (including elected politicians/parties, unelected bureaucrats/civil servants and police and judges) are held constitutionally accountable to set and enforce actual public policy only according to The Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy like equal human preciousness without exception which is the actual foundation of individual freedom of thought (which is why individual freedom of thought cannot compromise equal human preciousness without ultimately damaging freedom of thought/religion/speech as well). Freedom of Belief/ Thought/ Religion is then both a privilege and a responsibility to think with intellectual honesty and logical clarity, taking care to avoid bad/illogical thinking and taking care to maintain The Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy, because one’s democratic Freedoms of Thought and Speech themselves can only last upon their foundation of equal human preciousness without exception maintained with intellectual honesty and logical discipline.
Free democracies indeed include individual Freedom of Belief/ Thought/ Religion/ Speech/ Expression, such that Freedom of Belief does technically mean that individual citizens of a Free Democracy have the personal, private freedom to hold even stupid, uneducated and dangerous opinions (like Pro-Choice Abortion which comes from an anti-democratic, totalitarian-oriented and illogical human-killing mindset which is not mindful of avoiding intellectually dishonest logical fallacies). But to stay Free, Free Society must not give such objectively inferior and uneducated opinions expression in public policy. Public policy must rather be always guided by The Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy which are informed by established facts of the disciplines of History, Science and Logic (and Philosophy). Such as those collected in the HUMAN RIGHTS EDUCATION FOR LASTING FREE DEMOCRACY Book Series.
Further Reflection: The great irony is that current Western Society has this exactly backwards: Today we are told that the Pro-Life Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy may be “privately believed at home or in church or synagogue” but “have no place in the public sphere” and “must not influence public policy” because they are rooted in Biblical, Judeo-Christian religious beliefs like the equal human preciousness of every human, “male and female” without exception made “in the Image of God” (Genesis 1:27 in the very first chapter and page of the Bible) and like the Free Will God gave to humanity (which means people should have religious freedom to choose whether or not to become Christians, because becoming a Christian must be a free act of love for God). But officially “Pro-Choice” political parties in power today can and are passing laws and policies in the public sphere to encourage and even aggressively enforce uneducated Pro-Choice legal human-killing abortion opinions (ignorantly following totalitarian Soviet and Nazi precedents) among a population woefully uneducated in Human Rights History, Science, and Logic (which is why under current laws this author can be arrested and jailed in some provinces in his country just for saying “killing humans is wrong because Human Rights are for all Humans” or even just for “staring” at an abortion clinic in his national capital, which the local police told local Pro-Life Human Rights advocates would be taken as a sign of the “disapproval of abortion” that is now illegal to show anywhere within up to 150 metres (500 feet) of a legal human-killing abortion facility, precisely where such peaceful (but now illegal) Human Rights Advocacy is most pertinent).
Lasting Democracy requires that the police who enforce the laws and policies (and the politicians and parties who make them) must all be held accountable to The Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy – and that police are not strictly accountable to unthinkingly enforce the State government’s policies whatever they are, as police are in any totalitarian “Police State.” For example, it is democratically unacceptable that the police in this author’s national capital and most populous province, even after receiving from this author a scholarly handout describing this Core Principle of LASTING Democracy, believed that they had “no choice” but to unthinkingly and without complaint enforce new totalitarian laws against Freedom of Assembly, Speech and Expression of (democracy-grounding) Pro-Life views, and actually told peaceful Pro-Life Human Rights Advocates that they could be arrested just for being “known Pro-Lifers” near an abortion clinic or for “staring” at an abortion clinic, and the police in the national capital in fact arrested peaceful, elderly Pro-Lifers just for holding signs reading “FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION AND RELIGION. NO CENSORSHIP,” “GOD SAVE OUR CHARTER RIGHTS,” and “THE PRIMACY OF FREE SPEECH: CORNERSTONE OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION.” This author gave a eulogy at the funeral of one of these elderly Equal Human Rights for All Humans Advocates who died while awaiting unjust trial weeks after his two arrests for upholding Free Speech in a supposed democracy! Police and politicians both should be so sworn to uphold The Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy that uneducated politicians never put the police into such democratically unacceptable situations where police have to choose between their obligation to “protect and serve the public” and their obligation to enforce the policies of politicians who pay them. This kind of unacceptable conflict will not happen in a healthy democracy whose agents (politicians, bureaucrats, judges and police) are all accountable to uphold democratic foundations, so they can remind each other of this duty if one of these government agents forgets and starts compromising democratic foundations. For example, before arresting peaceful Human Rights Advocates under anti-democratic, totalitarian laws, police in this author’s country ideally should have been able to formally complain and remind the government lawmakers that police are bound by oath to uphold democratic foundations and thus they cannot enforce badly made laws which clearly compromise them; if the politicians still refused to accept this friendly reminder, a judge, likewise accountable to uphold democratic foundations, should have upheld such a police complaint to settle the dispute. But unfortunately, in the author’s country where neither judges, politicians nor police swear any oath to uphold The Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy, politicians make undemocratic laws; police blindly enforce them as if it was a totalitarian Police State; and judges uphold in court badly-made, totalitarian laws and policies that even make speaking science a punishable offense, in the increasing number of areas where well-established science contradicts current ruling party unscientific ideologies (to help explain how such extremely unscientific, totalitarian, and colossally stupid laws and policies keep getting made all over the West, note that such Pro-Choice political parties are actually fully steeped in the stream of bad thinking discussed at length in the author’s book Realism Versus Relativism – (Skeptical) Relativism instead of (Scientific) Realism – which literally gives Pro-Choicers a poor grip upon scientifically verifiable Reality itself).
The “seedy underbelly” of a Free Society only because of The Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy is technically “free” to be stupid, uneducated, immature and addicted in their private life, if they foolishly use the freedom that The Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy give them to remain uneducated and addicted (to drugs or alcohol or to sex and pornography, which more and more scientific studies are identifying as fundamentally addictive in their character when sex is pursued without mature responsibility and without reference to the scientific, biological purpose of sex – reproduction of the human species. This author has been informed there are now scientific studies which (unsurprisingly) demonstrate that pornography literally so objectifies women as “things” rather than “persons.” Brain scans of men watching pornography apparently literally show that the same parts of their brains are stimulated as are stimulated by hamburgers or other objects, rather than the parts of their brains being stimulated as are stimulated by interactions with other human persons).
But democratic freedom does not mean freedom to be immature and selfish and uneducated and stupid and misogynistic. In fact, it must not, or else everyone’s freedom cannot be sustained long-term. Because Free Democracy’s foundations are principles which require maturity and selflessness or at least a concern and care for all other humans as equally valuable as yourself (which is a Biblical principle, as are The Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy). Immaturity and selfishness in some may be tolerated in some; in the “seedy underbelly” of selfish, self-centered and greedy people that exists in any society, who among other things use their precious-human-generating sexuality for personal pleasure without treating their sex partners with maturity, as precious humans and life partners. But to make public policy promote immaturity and selfishness, as the immature-sex-soaked Pro-Choice West now does, is to put the “seedy underbelly” at the top, which will surely unbalance the whole free democratic society until it falls down – which is precisely the anti-democratic process that is right now threatening Free Democracy in the West.
A certain amount of immature, irresponsible and uneducated behavior – such as sexual promiscuity which treats sex partners as objects to be used for pleasure instead of treating them as precious human persons and life-partners – may be tolerated within the “seedy underbelly” of a Free Society. Just because individual human maturity cannot be “forced.” But to stay Free, Free Society must encourage maturity and responsibility and must not give such objectively inferior and uneducated opinions and immature and irresponsible practices (which degrade some humans) expression in public policy or in public education of impressionable young humans.
Public policy, rather than promoting unscientific and irresponsible attitudes must rather be always guided by The Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy which are informed by established facts of the disciplines of History, Science and Logic.

CORE PRINCIPLE OF LASTING DEMOCRACY #9: UNDERSTANDING PROPAGANDA AND CENSORSHIP
Lasting Democracy has a proper understanding of censorship and propaganda and uses intellectual honesty when judging the use of either. No government can avoid the use of propaganda to promote desired ideas and attitudes in the population (like anti-smoking campaigns), and no government can avoid the use of censorship to reduce undesirable ideas and attitudes in the population (child pornography is rightly censored). But healthy democracies only propagate objective, genuine truth and only censor objective, genuine untruth, for the purpose of the genuine good of and never for the harm of all equally precious humans.
Propaganda and Censorship – Every government uses Propaganda to promote or “propagate” attitudes in the population considered desirable – whether based on lies/errors for negative societal effect (like Nazi anti-Semitic propaganda which promoted societal hatred for ethnically Jewish humans which made it easier for the Nazi government to murder Jewish humans in the millions) or based on truths for positive effect (like anti-smoking, anti-racist or even youth bicycle safety campaign propaganda which influences the population to adopt attitudes and practices which genuinely help them individually or socially). Every government uses censorship to reduce attitudes in the population considered undesirable – whether based on lies/errors for negative societal effect (like Soviet censorship of news to manipulate the population to support the totalitarian Soviet Marxist government which enslaved them) or based on truths for positive effect (like censoring child pornography and anti-Semitic hate literature).
So, the question is not whether or not to use propaganda and censorship (which cannot be avoided) but how to use them (based on truths not falsehoods/errors) for the maximum benefit to human individuals and human societies. Just which current Western propaganda should continue because it is based on truths which genuinely benefit humans (like anti-smoking propaganda), and just which current Western propaganda should be ended or altered because it is based on ignorance and errors or false, pseudo-science which are genuinely harming humans and genuinely undermining our whole free and democratic way of life? Just precisely where should the line be drawn between what is not censored and what is censored, what is promoted and what is not promoted, for the genuine protection of human individuals and for the genuine protection of Human Rights and democratic freedoms generally?
Both words (propaganda and censorship) have come to often have negative connotations because of high-profile negative uses like the Nazi politically extremist anti-Semitic propaganda which promoted or “propagated” hatred of Jewish humans based on false lies against Jewish human dignity, which unscientifically asserted or implied that Jewish humans were somehow “subhuman” or “less human than other humans” in order to justify the Nazis killing Jewish humans in the millions. Similarly dishonest, the Soviet Marxist Communist/Socialists running the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) censored news, omitting or misreporting facts to tailor “public opinion” to be favorable to the oppressive totalitarian Soviet regime which effectively enslaved them. The Soviet Marxist Socialist censorship went so far as to for over 50 years deny the Holodomor Genocide, where the Soviet government similarly killed (this author’s fellow) Ukrainian humans in the millions in 1932-33. Until the Soviet regime ended and its secret documents were declassified and the full truth was revealed (though note that the Marxist Communist/Socialist censorship of the Holodomor Genocide was not only carried out by the Soviets in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Western Soviet sympathizers (Atheists, Marxists, Communists and Socialists) likewise conspired to bury the truth about the Holodomor Genocide when British journalists tried to expose it. Also, remember that legal human-killing abortion was first legalized by the same politically extremist oppressive totalitarian Soviet Marxist Socialists in 1920, who shortly thereafter committed the Holodomor Genocide in 1932-33; and remember that legal human-killing abortion was next legalized by the same oppressive totalitarian Nazi government which legally killed Jewish humans in the millions, who first legalized human-killing abortion in 1934).
But, despite negative and ultimately murderous use of propaganda and censorship by the first two, totalitarian States to legalize abortion, both propaganda and censorship in themselves are morally neutral and each can be used in either negative or positive ways for either negative or positive purposes, and as suggested, it is completely impossible not to use them. Anti-smoking campaigns or bicycle helmet safety are classic positive uses of propaganda, specifically promoting or propagating the desired attitude in the general population (often aimed particularly at young people who are vulnerable to becoming addicted to smoking or to having bicycle accidents). In this case the propaganda is positive in both implementation and purpose. The honest facts of the harm of smoking is presented, not dishonest nor misrepresented “facts,” and the purpose of the propaganda is for the genuine good health and benefit of those who are influenced by it. Legitimate uses of propaganda should always be intellectually honest and so should always be based on “propagating” true facts, and for the good of those influenced by it and for the good of society at large. Propaganda, which at its best is just a method of spreading genuine education of true facts (like that smoking really is scientifically proven to be harmful to one’s health), should never be used with bad will nor to make others fear and hate themselves nor hate and harm other precious humans.
Unlike the negative and harmful unscientific propaganda which has been promoted by bigoted Pro-Choice politicians, the Pro-Life position and mindset is based upon established truths of Human Rights History, Logic and Science (like that preborn humans are humans; and that killing humans is wrong; and that lasting freedom depends on these being legally recognized). The Pro-Choice position and mindset is based on the denial of scientific facts, like when they claim preborn humans are not humans (and so do not have Human Rights), and use this denial of scientific fact to justify harming people, killing the most vulnerable human babies, still in the womb, even though these young humans are scientifically verified to be just like each one of us when we were their age (so to deny them Inherent Human Rights is to logically deny our own Inherent Human Rights; and more, is to deny all common sense and logical, scientific reason, as shown in this author’s HUMAN RIGHTS EDUCATION FOR LASTING FREE DEMOCRACY Book Series).
Some Pro-Choice political parties in power are now using negative propaganda to propagate unscientific ideology (regarding abortion or otherwise), while at the same time using negative censorship to censor verifiable scientific facts. To the unscientific Pro-Choice mentality which denies preborn humans are humans, Science itself is a crime when it does not support a Pro-Choice political party’s various unscientific ideologies (Pro-Choice and otherwise). In this author’s country, there are now a number of laws under which people can be arrested and hauled before a judge just for speaking or expressing on signs scientific facts which do not support the Pro-Choice and other ideologies which are being pushed on the populace by the various unscientific statements and claims of officially Pro-Choice political parties, whose human-killing legal abortion stance itself follows well-established totalitarian anti-Democratic precedent. Most in officially Pro-Choice political parties do not even realize how inherently totalitarian their legal human-killing abortion stance is – but their extremist unfamiliarity with the Pro-Life Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy is precisely what makes them incompetent to lead a LASTING democracy.

The reader should be very wary of how an underlying philosophical worldview favoring Relativism over Realism – which most Pro-Choicers and Neo-Marxist/Identity Politics/“Cancel Culture” ideologues in governments and media (and “Big Tech” and elsewhere) have – affects their use of propaganda. Relativists are primed to use propaganda only in the negative use described above, that aims to propagate their personal, subjective opinion in the general population without honest or intelligent considerations of objective facts or truths of science, history, or anything else. Because Relativists are subjectivists who favor subjective opinions and feelings over objective facts or truths, which they doubt or deny exist, making everything merely subjective and therefore relative. Relativists therefore find it easy to say things like “well, that’s true for you; this (contradictory) thing is true for me.” They thus blithely violate the Principle (or Law) of Non-Contradiction (“something cannot both be, and not be, at the same time and in the same respect;” “a statement cannot be both true, and false, at the same time, and in the same respect”). Which is the easiest thing in the universe to prove! (try giving an example that breaks it), and is an essential part of the Aristotelian/Scholastic Realism which is foundational to all logic and science. What makes Relativists/subjectivists so politically dangerous is that they accept no objective facts exist to be the “tie-breaker” that says “this person’s subjective opinion more closely matches objective, scientifically verifiable reality than this other person’s, so this person’s opinion is right/correct or better because it takes better account of objective reality, and this other person’s opinion is wrong/incorrect or worse, because it takes less account of objective reality.” At first Relativists may seem congenial, because they will not say anyone or anything is wrong. Everybody’s opinion is equal, and you cannot hurt anyone’s feelings by telling them they are wrong about anything! But in politics, since Relativists/subjectivists (like most Pro-Choicers and Neo-Marxists and Socialists, whose ideologies are rooted in Relativism not Realism) ultimately admit no objective facts to help determine just what is the better or best political opinion to put into practical public policy, the only thing they do accept to decide public policy is power. The only thing that ultimately matters politically to politicians influenced by Relativism instead of (or more than) Realism is the power to have their subjective political opinion enforced in public policy instead of other subjective political opinions. Even well-established facts of history and weighty scientific evidence are frequently not capable of changing the mind of a Relativist not Realist. So Relativists use whatever tactics are available – whether violence/military might or manipulation, intimidation and dishonesty (including the constant “manufactured outrage” typical of the Pro-Choice Extremist Left) to (as much as they can manipulate and intimidate others into letting them get away with it) forcefully impose upon everyone else their subjectively preferred political policy. And, if they can get away with it, they will silence or even criminalize the speaking of well-established facts and science that does not support their subjective political opinions (which is why this author can be arrested and imprisoned in my country for, where it is most pertinent to do so, speaking well-established science and history, under Pro-Choice laws that specifically silence any Pro-Life speech of any facts at all that in any way do not support, or discourage, the Pro-Choice, legal human-killing position. I can be arrested and jailed in my country for pointing out the historical facts that human-killing abortion was first legalized in Soviet Russia by the same government that later legalized the human-killing genocide of my ethnic group. Speaking those facts certainly violate the current law that makes illegal anything – even just “staring” at an abortion clinic – that in any way expresses “disapproval of abortion.” As I said, to Relativists, only power to enforce your subjective opinion in public policy matters, not facts which help determine the (objectively) better or best public policy. So, Relativists who find no problem with legal human-killing by abortion also find no problem passing laws restricting free speech of opinions different than theirs. And no objective facts are admitted to dissuade a subjectivist from pursuing their personally preferred political policies. So, Relativists cannot easily be swayed by facts to realize that their political opinion is wrong. Which is exactly why (Relativist) Marxists and Socialists have never learned that Socialism is simply too unrealistic to ever work in the Real universe – no matter how many tens of millions have died under Marxist policies in Socialist countries. Thus, Relativist Neo-Marxists today are still, as I write this, trying to accomplish a global Marxist “Great Reset!” Since the first ten million killed were of my ethnic group, I will never allow today’s unthinking Relativist Neo-Marxists who today want to “Reset” the planet on Marxist principles to manipulate and intimidate me into shutting up about just what their underlying philosophy and ideology is, and just where it leads.
To Relativists in media and government, with vacuous ideology instead of the solid Human Rights education collected in this book series, propaganda just means making posters and ads and videos and so on to try to make the general population agree with and support their ideologies (however unscientific) without any reference to nor any honest, intelligent analysis of objective facts. You cannot reasonably expect intellectually dishonest Relativists not Realists in government, who have tenuous grasp of science or reality, to propagate accurate science in the general population – regarding abortion, the Coronavirus Pandemic, or anything else (especially if they are Socialists or Neo-Marxist Identity Politics “Cancel Culture” ideologues, who were so excited to misuse the Coronavirus Pandemic to attempt a global Marxist “Great Reset.” The first ten million murdered victims of Marxism, from my ethnic group, compel me to warn the world’s citizens they must learn to recognize Relativist and Marxist-influenced propaganda which is usually unscientific at least in as much as it pretends that established facts and qualified medical and scientific voices against their ideology or global agenda just do not exist – since Relativists not Realists are not compelled by any intellectual honesty to acknowledge the existence of anything that stands in the way of them politically enforcing their subjective opinion or implementing their agenda.
Addendum: Many governments legitimately use propaganda campaigns to warn pregnant mothers of human babies to not drink alcohol nor smoke while pregnant, because it can harm their human baby. This is based on accurate science, and the message of the propaganda, if heeded, will genuinely benefit the precious human child and mother for the rest of their lives. If these governments were genuinely concerned for the lives and well-being of human mothers and their babies, however, they should be warning mothers with posters of the genuine dangers to their precious human child that abortion will kill their child (and increase the mothers’ chance of various health problems including Cancer, as has been amply proven by very many scientific studies). This selective use of propaganda reveals a “Jekyll and Hyde” government, which sometimes acts as if all humans are equally precious and should be protected from harm – even in the womb – and sometimes acts as if NOT all humans are equally precious, and some humans can be killed when deemed “inconvenient”. And passes laws against the free speech of peaceful Pro-Life Human Rights advocates. Why should any humans TRUST such an unstable “Jekyll and Hyde” government, which is so inconsistent about something so basic to governing humans as whether or not Human Rights are for All Humans?
CORE PRINCIPLE OF LASTING DEMOCRACY #10: NO FRUIT WITHOUT ROOTS (HEALTHY RESPECT FOR THE Judeo-CHRISTIAN ORIGINS OF WESTERN HUMAN RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS IS NECESSARY)
Core Principle: There is No Fruit Without Roots. We cannot keep the wonderful fruits of Human Rights and democratic freedoms without their Christian and “Pro-Life” Roots. Regardless of what percentage of a democratic country are practicing Christians, lasting democracies must minimally maintain a proper, healthy respect for Christianity as the historical root and Source of The Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy. Government persecution or restriction of Christian belief or practice is a sure sign of ultimately Democracy-ending ‘Creeping Totalitarianism.’
Western Civilization was viciously brutal before Christianity, entirely lacking any concept of human equality or Inherent Human Rights. The very first Chapter and page of the Judeo-Christian Bible provided the West with the historical foundation of the equal human preciousness which grounds Free Democracy: In the Bible’s first Book, Genesis, Chapter 1 verse 27, the Bible declares that humans, “male and female” are equally created “in God’s Image.” The Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy are also rooted in the Judeo-Christian Bible’s Commandment, “you shall not kill,” and the Biblical testimony that “God is Love” (1 John 4:8, 16). This made Love for every precious human “made in God’s Image” the highest Western value Europeans (for all their human imperfections) were motivated to strive for. Just the striving for this extremely high and difficult goal (to overcome human selfishness and prejudice) and often failing, just in the effort made Western Christian Civilization gradually better and better, as Europeans attempted to live the Bible’s way of “loving your neighbor as yourself” (Jesus confirming that one’s “neighbor” includes any human who needs help).
Furthermore, the very term and concept of precious human personhood, with its attendant equal Human Rights, is rooted entirely in the Christian Theology that the One God mysteriously exists eternally as a Trinity of Three “Persons” – this One God in Three Persons created humanity “In God’s Image” and thus humans are now also said to be “persons.” Historically God was called “Three Persons” before humans were ever called “persons.” Christianity changed cheap-not-precious humans who served greater States into precious-not-cheap persons whom the State is obligated to protect (and ultimately serve – which is why Modern Democracy – as well as Modern International Law and Modern Human Rights – only ever developed in Western Christian Civilization which had this background of Christian principles).
It must be stressed that this concept of human equality and human preciousness which together ground Free Democracy and Human Rights come from Christianity and nowhere else. Humans are manifestly not equal in physical or intellectual traits or prowess, abilities (or disabilities). We are each wonderfully and individually divergent, with a unique combination of physical and mental traits, talents, interests, abilities (and disabilities), strengths (and weaknesses). But we are all equally human (and not some other species), and Christianity teaches we are all equally precious to God, regardless of our race/ethnicity, sex/gender, social class or status, and regardless of our abilities and disabilities.
The latter consideration is one of the reasons that while democratic societies built on Christian principles properly seek to create “equality of opportunity” for success in different fields or professions, it is characteristic of unrealistic Neo-Marxist Identity Politics thinking (rooted in the flawed Relativistic not Realistic underlying philosophical worldview) to dismiss the facts of different individual human capacities and interests and seek to force an “equality of outcome.” As if one could possibly get perfectly equal ratios of males, females, races or other (always-multiplying) “identities” represented in every (or any) field or profession (elected representatives; nurses; plumbers; professors; mechanics; teachers; farmers; secretaries and so on). This author’s late father was a high school principal (in Canada, where Black American slaves went to be free) whose habit was to hire women and minority women as well as men, all according to their competence for particular teaching positions, and he commented how strange it was when he was suddenly under political pressure to hire women and minorities (which he already did based on merit, but was suddenly expected to in order to produce “equality of outcome”). This author’s fellow “Canadian intellectual for Free Speech” Jordan Peterson has very ably commented on how functioning societies function precisely by building “hierarchies of competence,” where the most competent people for a particular job do that particular job (regardless of their sex/gender or race or other features unrelated to their job competence), and how the lights stop working if you do not put the most competent people for the position in the position (even if an electricity provider did miraculously manage to produce true “equality of outcome” and hire a “perfectly evenly balanced ratio” of male, female, Black, White, Hispanic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Ukrainian, Native American, Italian (and so on) employees). Peterson notes,
“Western culture, which is by no means perfect, and certainly has tyrannical elements like all cultures do, is the least tyrannical society that has ever been produced, and certainly the least tyrannical society that exists now . . .”
Peterson thus points out that people call male plumbers (most of whom are males) for their competence in their profession (how many women are even interested in being plumbers?), and that there are not raving bands of tyrannical plumbers going about dominating Western society with a “tyrannical patriarchy” that “must be opposed” by Neo-Marxist Identity Politics so-called “Social Justice Warriors.” This is not an issue of human equality. It is a matter of both interest and competence. Those women who are interested in this field of employment are more likely to become competent at it, and if they make a living off of it, it will be because of their competence; it is not an issue of equality.
Because the only ways humans have ever been equal is in being equally members of the human species; and equal in precious human worth and value to God who created humans, male and female, “in God’s Image.” This is why only Christian Europe gradually but logically over many centuries developed Modern Free Democracy, as described in this author (William Baptiste)’s books and reviewed below.
Not just human equality, but equal human preciousness as taught by Christianity, is necessary for Human Rights and Democratic Freedoms, as demonstrated not only by positive example (only Christian Europe developed Modern Democracy), but by the negative examples of the consistent and colossal failures of Atheist, philosophically Relativist Marxism to even in the slightest way accomplish Marxism’s seductive “classless egalitarian ideal.”
Marxism is by far the most sophisticated and popular of Atheist, Relativist political approaches, today still very popular in the West, as Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn warned, notably in the form of Neo-Marxist Identity Politics (which Solzhenitsyn described in 1983 without using the term) informed by the radically skeptical Postmodernism developed by Marxists — and all following the 1920 totalitarian Marxist Soviet precedent of legal human-killing by abortion. Because Marxism is thoroughly rooted in the radically skeptical stream of Western Philosophy, which ultimately has a poor grasp on reality, the Marxist take on “equality” is ultimately unrealistic, treating human males and females “equally” in foolish ways that ignore real biological differences, and in any case, in the end all Marxist States just treat all humans “equally badly” — Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn stating Marxism only ever achieves “the equality of destitute slaves” — backed up by the well-documented deaths of many tens of millions of human deaths due to Marxist policies wherever Marxism has been implemented. Marxists and today’s Western Neo-Marxist Identity Politics “Cancel Culture” ideologues, both rooted in the absurd philosophical error described in this author’s book Realism Versus Relativism, have so little grip on Reality, Science, facts, that it does not matter how many of millions have been murdered by Marxist States as they attempt to build their seductive “egalitarian Marxist utopia,” they undaunted keep trying to cram the “Red Square peg” of Marxist thinking into the “round hole” of Reality, with consistently bloody results
But the model development of Modern Democracy (without any bloody revolution) happened in Christian Britain, where starting with the 1215 Magna Carta (followed by the creation of representative government in the 1265 first London Parliament), the King recognized the rights of his subjects and started sharing his power with some of them. Initially just with the barons, but slowly, progressively sharing power in ever-widening circles until today, when all adult humans in the British Commonwealth of Nations have an equal say or vote in their own governance; they are governed by representatives they elected; and the Monarch’s power is only titular. This entire development happened because Christian Britain understood from the Bible that before God a King/Queen and a peasant were equal, and equally loved by God.
The “Father of International Law” (in 2006 also named the “Founder of Global Political Philosophy), Friar Francisco de Vitoria – and all the other later “Founders of International Law” like Father Francisco Suárez, Alberico Gentili and Hugo Grotius – were dedicated Christians (some Catholic, some Protestant) working logically from the Biblical, Christian, and ‘Pro-Life’ foundations of Christian Europe to help ensure Human Rights were respected wherever humans were (even outside of Christian nations). Thus the various colonizations from Christian Europe, for all their sad failures to best live the extremely high Christian standards of Love for every human and their lack of respect for some indigenous cultures considered “primitive” and “inferior” (failures which Friar Francisco de Vitoria had “fathered” International Law specifically to counteract), still also imported these Christian values of Human Rights and Freedoms worldwide, these taking root to greater or lesser degree in the colonies. Note that the European Christian colonists, whatever their imperfections and failures to live the extremely high Christian ideals, still stopped all indigenous Human Rights abuses like human sacrifice, cannibalism, infanticide, widow-burning and giving girls over to be Temple prostitutes – and stopped longstanding wars between indigenous tribes. All out of the Christian belief in equal human preciousness and the Inherent Human Right to Live. It is only today’s ignorant and insufficiently educated Neo-Marxist Identity Politics “Cancel Culture” ideologues (and those they have fooled) who try to paint past Western colonialism as if it was exclusively negative. And they only do this for the dishonest purpose of burying the Traditional Western (Judeo-Christian) culture and values which include The Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy, so they can remake society according to ultimately Atheist Marxist principles which have time and time again proven to ultimately result in violent, oppressive totalitarian States, because of Marxism’s serious flaws and unrealistic, simplistic reinterpretation of all history and politics as inevitable toxic struggles between “oppressed” and “privileged.” Toxic conflicts based on past or present resentments which both Marxist and Neo-Marxist Identity Politics “Cancel Culture” ideologues deliberately exaggerate and foment into hatred for the purpose of those they label “oppressed” politically overthrowing those they label “privileged,” so that a Marxist-based government can replace the existing political structure, whatever kind it is.
But these inherently divisive and toxic (and in practice often bloodily violent) Marxist mechanisms for societal change, which make mutual respect and cooperation for the Common Good impossible, are completely unnecessary.
Because in fact, most of the greatest social reformers in history were devout Christians specifically seeking to have Biblical, Christian principles of God’s infinite love for every human “made in God’s Image” better put into practice in their time and place, like William Wilberforce ending slavery in the British Empire (and even non-Christian social reformers like Gandhi were educated in the Christian West and very familiar with the Bible, and steeped in its principles).
To this day Human Rights including Freedom of Belief/Religion and Freedom of Speech do not exist in the most markedly non-Christian countries, those countries least influenced by The Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy which Christianity introduced into the West. Neither do Western Human Rights and Freedoms exist in the non-Christian countries least influenced by International Law which was founded by devout Christians putting Christian principles into practice worldwide. Atheist States and the most traditional Muslim States typically have no religious freedom and are profuse with other violations of Human Rights – and they typically persecute the Christians within their borders, who believe in The Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy. Most successful democracies are in traditionally Christian countries which thus have the background needed for Human Rights and Democracy. Though Christian Britain spread these concepts worldwide where they took root in greater or lesser degree in the various British colonies, in many nations without a Christian background in which the West has tried to implement democracy, it does not take root well, and people are threatened by thugs into voting a certain way, or typically have other major compromises of the democratic ideal.
This is because human equality, equal human preciousness which governments are obligated to protect and Freedom of Belief/ Thought/ Religion/ Speech have never been political givens. These wonderful things have only existed as guiding principles for the governance of humans since these underlying Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy were adopted by the West from the Christian Church when the West stopped persecuting Christians in the 4th Century.
Christianity’s principles mean without compromise that killing humans is wrong because all humans without exception are equally precious and have Inherent Human Rights beginning with The Inherent Human Right to Live.
Anti-Christian bigotry and illogical “Bulverism” that dismisses ideas just because they are Christian, is the surest route to eventual totalitarian oppression, because these fail to maintain the essentially Biblical, Judeo-Christian (and Pro-Life) Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy.
Thus, any LASTING Democracy must at least respect (if not embrace) Christianity as the Source of The Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy, and never persecute Christianity, no matter what percentage of the country’s population are practicing Christians.
Note that all The Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy like equal human preciousness without exception which governments are obligated to protect and the Inherent Human Right to Live which means that killing humans is wrong, are all moral absolutes. Atheist Moral Relativists (including Marxists/Communists/Socialists) who believe in no human-loving God of Christianity to set any such moral absolutes for human behavior, cannot abide nor consistently practice any of the Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy, which is why all the representatives of Atheist Marxist Communist States on the original United Nations Human Rights Commission refused to even vote on The Universal Declaration of Human Rights. As Atheists they could not accept any moral absolutes like any Human Rights the government had to respect; in fact, as Atheists, they could not accept anything higher than the government, to which the government is accountable for how it treats the humans it governs. Which is exactly why all (Philosophically Relativist-Not-Realist) Atheist and Marxist governments in history have been totalitarian and oppressive to human life and freedom.
Starting with Atheism’s first foray into politics: the French Revolutions’ Reign of Terror which first killed Christian leaders (and even mild nuns) in large numbers and attempted to enforce on the still mostly Christian population an Atheistic government-led “Cult of Reason” (actually converting Christian churches into “Temples to Reason”). The Mexico of Atheist Plutarco Elias Calles was similarly oppressive and deadly, and Atheist Communist governments killed an astonishing over 94 million people in the 20th Century, according to the large scholarly tome The Black Book of Communism: Crimes, Terror, Repression. Note that the politically extremist Left Marxist Atheist Soviet Communist Party both committed the largest Genocide in History, the Holodomor (“Murder by Starvation”) Genocide of an estimated 7-10 Million Ukrainian humans in 1932-33, and was the first political party to legalize human-killing by abortion in 1920. Both because as Atheist extremists they did not believe in any human-loving God of Christianity nor any moral absolutes like an Inherent Human Right to Live. Note that 1933 also saw the opening of Dachau, the first of the Concentration Camps used in the politically extremist Right German Nazi Party’s Holocaust Genocide of 6 million Jewish humans plus disabled/handicapped humans. And the occultic extremist Nazis (the top Nazis followed an occultic mythology from which they got the myth of the “Aryan Race”) also legalized abortion, in 1934.
Like the Soviets, they were totalitarian extremists who both committed Genocide and legalized abortion because they did not believe in the Inherent Human Right to Live which grounds Democracy. The extremist Nazi Party (influenced by Marx’s fellow German Atheist Relativist Nietzsche to abandon Traditional Christian morality from the other extreme of the political spectrum) was the first to legalize human-killing by both abortion and euthanasia. Note that today’s Secularism exists by borrowing the Atheist principle of Moral Relativism; and doing so in response to groundless Atheist claims doubting the value of Traditional Christianity as the source of the West’s “guiding principles for public policy.” Secularism then follows the Atheist Soviet Marxist and Nazi precedents of legalizing human-killing by abortion out of disrespect for the Traditional Western, Biblical, Judeo-Christian Pro-Life Family Values that the West’s Free Democracy was built upon. And now this Human Rights scholar and author can be arrested and jailed under current laws in several major jurisdictions of his secularized country just for peacefully saying “killing humans is wrong because Human Rights are for all humans,” because without Judeo-Christian Pro-Life values there is no basis for a Free Democracy. Having no basis for Free Democracy in my country, this author in 2018 had to give a eulogy at the funeral of an elderly man who died while awaiting unjust trial after being arrested twice just for being a “known” Pro-Life Equal Human Rights for All Humans advocate; in a No-Free-Speech-Bubble-Zone; peacefully carrying signs reading “FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION AND RELIGION. NO CENSORSHIP” and “GOD SAVE OUR CHARTER RIGHTS.” But the Traditional Western, Biblical, Judeo-Christian, Pro-Life Family Values which Western Human Rights and Democratic Freedoms were historically and logically built upon, when followed, guarantee that each human is born into stable, loving human families which are the building blocks of stable, loving human societies. The Biblical, Judeo-Christian principle of equal human preciousness (without exception; which governments are obligated to protect), when followed, not only furnishes the first of The Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy, but it is also the antidote to all forms of prejudice and bigotry and racism which treat some humans as of less worth or value or rights than other humans.
The Christian principle of equal human preciousness without exception is exactly the reason there is no larger nor more diverse group of humans on the planet than Christians. Christians are an identifiable group of 2.3 billion humans from almost every other racial, ethnic, national, cultural, language, sex/gender, or social class group, of every ability or disability/disorder. A huge group of unparalleled diversity that understands itself as God’s adopted Family, and thus most Christians hold loving Christian Family unity as an ideal to strive for, even where long-past historical divisions and disagreements have separated different Christian communities from each other (but what family does not have disagreements?).
As another logical outflow of equal human preciousness, Christians understand the planet Earth (and by extension the entire created universe) as the “Family Home” which God created for God’s beloved adopted human children to live in, providing motivation to take good care of the environment which all equally precious humans live in, so that it remains a good Family Home for future generations of equally precious humans. Without succumbing to the Pro-Choice, Neo-Marxist Extremist Left’s typical climate alarmism, with its fear-mongering and its distinctly Marxist flavor of pitting the “oppressed Earth” against “oppressor humans” who are a herd to be culled and reduced (something Marxists have proven themselves very good at) — like all Marxists completely missing the human preciousness which is the legitimate reason the environment should be well (and sensibly) taken care of.
Traditionally, Christians are just as likely to lean “politically progressive Left” as “politically conservative Right,” and relatively near the Center. Healthy democracies keep an appropriate balance between “progressing” as necessary to deal with new, unprecedented situations, while “conserving” what is foundational and necessary to maintain free democracies. Human nature is imperfect and Christians (as much as non-Christians), both individually and in societies, struggle to live their own highest ideals (“Israel” in the Bible means “struggle with God” – both Jews and Christians are Biblically-based communities which “struggle with God” so they may live better lives and make the world/universe which equally precious humans live in a better place). Most of the greatest social reformers of history have been devout Christians struggling precisely to better implement in their time and place the high Christian ideals of lovingly taking care of every equally precious human loved immensely by God; ideals which are part of The Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy (and the great non-Christian social reformers, like Gandhi, were also educated in the Christian West and steeped in Biblical, Judeo-Christian ideals).
Unfortunately, as mentioned, Atheist Marxism (Socialism and Communism) at the Extreme Left of the political spectrum has proposed a powerfully seductive “ideal egalitarian utopia” which Atheist Marxism seeks to create without Christian principles. Not only has Marxism never succeeded, it has in practice consistently created among the most oppressive totalitarian States ever known to humankind, Marxist policies killing many tens of millions of humans in the USSR/Soviet Bloc countries, China, Cambodia, Vietnam, North Korea and so on. To continue in the face of the objective facts of such obvious and consistent failures, Marxism has more recently been “reimagined” by Marxist philosophers like Jacques Derrida, ultimately yielding
- today’s Postmodernist philosophy (which denies or doubts all objective facts and Science, reducing everything to subjective will and power – thereby “melting the brains” and destroying any critical thinking skills in Postmodernists, who give priority to their subjective feelings and opinions and reject any objective reality such as that which underlies Science and Common Sense; and
- Identity Politics. Again, today’s Neo-Marxist Identity Politics ideologues copy classic Marxism’s simplistic and unrealistic reinterpretation of all history as adversarial and toxic “class conflict” between those labelled “the oppressed” and those labelled “the privileged oppressor.” Like classic Marxism, Neo-Marxist Identity Politics requires resentment and hatred between the “oppressed” and the “privileged” to create enough political instability to one way or another overthrow or overpower the current government (perhaps by manipulating and “guilting” the “privileged” into political concessions, for those unwilling to pursue the revolutionary violence which Marx considered necessary), so that some form of the Marxist egalitarian utopia can be attempted in its place. Marx himself knew that his Marxist ideal, which includes the elimination of personal property and the elimination of the traditional Family, was so radical that most people would have to be forced into accepting it at first, and he planned for violent overthrow of the current government as the usual first stage of implementing Marxism. To achieve the necessary violence, Marxism has to exaggerate or invent resentment and incite hatred between those labelled the “oppressed” and the “privileged oppressor,” meaning Marxism (and its new form of Identity Politics with its “Cancel Culture” which discourages any free speech of opposing views) is totally unsuited to any kind of cooperation or working together for the Common Good based on mutual respect, because, while claiming to promote “equality,” Atheist Marxism rejects Christianity’s principle of equal human preciousness (thus Solzhenitsyn noted that in the end Marxism/Socialism only ever achieves “the equality of destitute slaves” – with the Marxist government treating its citizens equally badly).
What Marx did not anticipate is that his seductive utopian egalitarian ideal was so radical, and so against actual human nature, that in practice Marxism never gets beyond having to force people to be Marxist Socialists – hence the tens of millions of murders and genocides consistently coming out of every historical attempt to implement the Marxist ideal.
Thus, Leftist Marxism, and Neo-Marxist Identity Politics (with its attendant “Cancel Culture” to censor, censure, and silence those who disagree with Identity Politics ideologues), ultimately just makes a sad, sick parody of what the Left in any country could be and should be. All the good-sounding ideals which today’s (Pro-Choice and Neo-Marxist, extremist) Left have, they approach in a way tainted with inherently adversarial and toxic Marxism.
Probably most who today have been fooled by Neo-Marxist Identity Politics’ claim of seeking “equality” and “social justice” are not consciously seeking to implement classic Marxism according to Marx and Engel’s Communist Manifesto which called for explicit violence (even though Marx himself mocked as “castles in the air” all pre-Marxist visions to create a Socialist State without the violence of a bloody revolution; and no Socialism since has been without the influence of Marx). But nevertheless, even if they claim to shun violence, today’s Neo-Marxist Identity Politics ideologues still take the venomous, adversarial approach of classic Marxism which sabotages any possible positive outcome.
Identity Politics ideologues in one way share the above good Christian ideals that every human child should be wanted and loved; that there should be no racist bigotry; that the environment should be cared for. But they approach all of these good things without the Christian foundation of equal human preciousness, and instead with a distinct adversarial Marxist flavor of pitting “oppressed” against “privileged oppressor” which is wrong-headed and which destroys any positive outcome.
Instead of seeking that every human child should be wanted and loved because all humans are equally precious, and instead of thus promoting Traditional Western, Judeo-Christian, Pro-Life Family Values because when followed, these guarantee that each human is born into stable, loving human families which are the building blocks of stable, loving human societies – Neo-Marxists instead, in Marxist fashion, absurdly pit the “oppressed mother” against the “oppressor baby” whose very existence threatens the “convenience” or “range of choices” of the mother. Even to the point of unscientifically calling a unique and utterly innocent new human baby a “parasite” — a “parasite” which, then, needs to be killed by abortion to “free” the “oppressed mother.”
Marxism at bottom is all about blaming someone else for your troubles and taking your violent revenge upon them, and never taking mature, personal responsibility for one’s own actions. So, completely ignoring the scientific fact that in almost all cases the new human baby was brought into existence by the (Pro-Choice) mother immaturely and irresponsibly choosing to engage in Nature’s way of reproducing the human species without any intention of doing so, such that a (biologically-speaking) “successful” sexual encounter resulted in the procreation of the next generation of the human species (which is the biological purpose of sex), Neo-Marxists are fine with simply murdering the unique new human life brought about by their own immature irresponsibility – thus reinforcing the pre-Christian, pre-democratic notion that human life is cheap not precious.
Instead of taking good care of the environment for the future because it is the home of equally precious humans, Neo-Marxists, who might regard humans as equal but not as precious, in typically Marxist fashion pit the “oppressed environment” against the “oppressor humans.” Even to the point of referring to humans as “parasites” or as a “disease” of the Earth; advocating for reductions in the human population (including more totalitarian legal human-killing like abortion and euthanasia to “cull the herd”). And they are very willing to sacrifice the economic and other legitimate needs of humans for what they perceive as the good of the environment (often according to dubious or unproven science – remember, today’s Pro-Choice Left is an unhealthy and intellectually dishonest, extremist, legal human-killing abortion Left, that does not even understand enough Science or Logic to understand that preborn humans are humans; that abortion kills humans; nor that killing humans is wrong. So, they have no genuine understanding of Science, and are easily manipulated by climate alarmists. Even though such climate alarmists for years claimed “Global Warming,” and, when actual facts did not support their claims, they dishonestly kept up the alarmism by instead claiming the more generic term “climate change” – generic enough to not really mean anything definite, but this does not stop Neo-Marxists from fear-mongering, and trying to manipulate people into doing what they want (even on the basis of very sketchy science) for the sake of the (“oppressed”) environment, without much regard for how humans are affected. Which totally misses the point that caring for the environment is important, but only because it is the family home of precious humans!
Similarly, instead of promoting the truly egalitarian ideal that there should be no racist bigotry because all humans are equally precious (regardless of skin color/race; ethnicity/ nationality/ culture; religion; language; sex/gender; social class; ability or disability/disorder), Neo-Marxists instead, in typical Marxist fashion, pit what they have labelled the “oppressed Black/Non-White” class (or other minority) against what they have labelled the “White privileged” class. In the name of “fighting racism,” Neo-Marxists hypocritically judge whole groups of humans negatively merely by the color of their skin! In prejudiced and racist fashion imputing guilt upon someone merely because of the color of their skin, as if merely having the same (White) skin color as a slaver of centuries ago somehow makes anyone with White skin alive today “culpable” for long-past injustice done by someone long-dead who happened to have the same skin color.
As a “White” Ukrainian (Canadian), member of the white-skinned Ukrainian ethnic group which (like the white-skinned Jewish ethnic group) was victim of one of history’s biggest genocides murdering many millions (perpetrated by others with white skin, on a different continent than the Americas), this author notes that the only genocide approaching a million murders of humans with black skin, the Rwandan Genocide of the Tutsi ethnic group, was similarly perpetrated by others with black skin (the Hutus), similarly on another continent (Africa). So, whatever dregs of remaining despicable bigotry based on long-past slavery and past civil rights inequities still exist in America, (which the officially Pro-Choice-legal-human-killing abortion “Black Lives Matter” Identity Politics organization, run by self-described Marxists, in Marxist fashion seek to foment new hatred over for Marxist political purposes, burning cars in America as I write this), I note that such continuing racism is not even near the most recent nor the most deadly of bigotries. And this Equal Human Rights for All Humans author whose ethnic group suffered a major genocide murdering 7-10 million precious humans resents Marxist “Black Lives Matter” Identity Politics ideologues absurdly trying to make me somehow “responsible” for despicable leftover American racism (and should “apologize” for it) just because I happen to have white skin. All while, being officially Pro-Choice, these 2020 “Black Lives Matter” Marxist ideologues practice the deadly legal human-killing abortion bigotry against preborn humans which was started 100 years ago in 1920 by the very same Marxist government which murdered 7-10 million of my “white-skinned” Ukrainian ethnic group in 1932-33.
What could be more racist than treating “White” skin as evil and insisting that anyone with white skin today “apologize” for someone else’s crimes of centuries ago? This makes as little sense as insisting that a Japanese child today “apologize” for the dishonorable Japanese sneak attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 (where the Japanese dishonorably pretended to be engaged in peaceful diplomatic negotiations with the neutral United States right up until their unprovoked attack which killed thousands). This inane practice of Neo-Marxist Identity Politics ideologues, who are just fomenting resentment and hatred between groups for the typical Marxist purpose of creating the political instability necessary for a Marxist takeover, goes so far as to disdain and disparage anything at all they ignorantly perceive in racist terms as “White.” Thus, the great literature of Shakespeare, who has been famous for over 400 years precisely because he captures insightful and timeless, cross-cultural truths of the human condition (which is why Japanese film directors have been motivated to make movies based on Shakespeare plays), has been ignorantly written off by racist Identity Politics ideologues as the work of “dead White men” and removed from school curricula. What could be more racist than literature being judged (and included or removed from school curricula) merely by the skin color of the author? Neo-Marxist Identity Politics ideologues have recently (at time of writing) fomented unrest and riots involving the tearing down of statues even of “White men” who did the most to fight racism, such as Abraham Lincoln, who declared war on the seceding Southern American states in order to end Black slavery in America; such as Sir Winston Churchill, who successfully fought the Nazi regime in order to end its racial, White Supremacist bigotry. Statues of Catholic Christian Saints (generally famous for loving God and loving all humans made in God’s Image) have likewise been recently torn down or defaced. The current (at time of writing) rioting with the message “defund the police” also of course simply serves to facilitate a Marxist takeover (less police to maintain peaceful law and order). All of these actions, like removing the literature and statues of “White men,” are merely typically Marxist ways of cutting off a culture from its history, so that a (totalitarian) Marxist government can more easily be raised in its place. As the Nobel Prize-winning historian Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, expert in totalitarian Soviet Marxism noted,
“To destroy a people, you must first sever their roots.”
— Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Professor Jordan Peterson has also noted,
“The group identity game ends in blood. It doesn’t matter who plays it. Left-wingers play it: Blood. Right-wingers play it: Blood. And lots of it. Not just a little bit. You can’t play the Identity Politics game.
Identity Politics ideologues even (in gross ignorance) judge (and reject) Christianity disdainfully as a “White” religion, simply because the Europeans practiced it, even though Christianity began in the Middle East, and within the first generation of Christ’s Apostles had spread from India to Britain – Christianity remaining the largest and most diverse group of humans on the planet to this day. And still the source of The Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy.
Of course “Black lives matter,” because all human lives are equally precious, according to the Traditional Western (Christian and Pro-Life) Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy. But the fundamentally anti-democratic dishonesty of Identity Politics ideologues is revealed by the fact that the official “Black Lives Matter” organization even gets angry and upset if one says “all lives matter” in response to their statement “Black lives matter.” Putting the certainly true statement that “Black lives matter” in its proper context of democracy-grounding equal human preciousness – Black lives certainly matter, because all human lives matter, which is why humans of all kinds should work together in mutual respect and for the Common Good – takes away their ability to dishonestly use the phrase to foment resentment and hatred for divisive and polarizing Marxist purposes. Marxism requires hatred and resentment between groups, and there is so much hatred in the official “Black Lives Matter” movement that in July 2020 a 24-year-old nurse and mother
[1] https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/24-year-old-mom-ambushed-and-killed-after-saying-all-lives-matter-family?utm_source=must_reads, accessed July 17, 2020.
was ambushed, fatally shot in the back for saying “All Lives Matter” to “Black Lives Matter” ideologues.
Note again that the “Black Lives Matter” official organization is not just “Neo-Marxist,” but actually run by self-described Marxists, who have been specifically inciting people to riot for the typical Marxist purpose of creating enough political instability to assist a Marxist takeover, or at least enough to manipulate political concessions.
In any case, what is very clear is that whatever “good” things today’s officially Pro-Choice, legal human-killing (and therefore Extremist) Left in this author’s country and others seeks to do, whether “fight racism,” “protect the environment,” or “make sure children are wanted and loved,” they do all these things in a perverted and wrong way which harms or kills more humans and foments resentment and hatred between humans. Unfortunately, the political Right in this author’s country and others is not actually committed to the Pro-Life Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy either even though (unlike the extremist Pro-Choice-to-Kill-Humans Left) they at least “allow” their members to hold them and be “Pro-Life.” Thus the “conservative Right” in this author’s country and others has so far refused to actually “conserve” the Traditional Western Values which include and support the Pro-Life Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy. The so-called “conservative Right” in this author’s country has even proven too spineless (I can think of no better word for it) to reverse grossly anti-democratic laws put in by extremist Left governments even when the “conservative Right” is now in power. Thus, this Human Rights scholar can still be arrested and jailed for peacefully speaking scientific facts or saying “killing humans is wrong because Human Rights are for all humans” where it is most pertinent to do so, under totalitarian laws enacted by the Pro-Choice Extremist Left, even where the “conservative Right” has now been in power for years, and so my poor country continues to wallow in totalitarian, undemocratic , Relativist-not-Realist policies and laws.
Healthy democracies have a healthy balance of “progressive Left” adapting intelligently to new situations and “conservative Right” conserving what is foundational and necessary from before, which is why this author is non-partisan, and does not care which party governs as long as democracy’s foundations are intact. This Human Rights scholar thus simply calls ALL political parties worldwide (and bureaucrats, police, judges and journalists and “Big Media,” “Big Pharma” and “Big Tech” billionaires and personnel who now wield such massive influence) to get back to their democracy’s historical and logical (and “Pro-Life”) foundations if they have forgotten them and strayed . . .
In any case . . .
It is clearly true that There is No Fruit Without Roots. We cannot keep the wonderful fruits of Human Rights and Democratic Freedoms without their Christian and Pro-Life Roots. Regardless of what percentage of a democratic country are practicing Christians, lasting democracies must minimally maintain a proper, healthy respect for Christianity as the historical root and Source of The Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy.

HUMAN RESPONSIBILITIES COME WITH YOUR HUMAN RIGHTS – A Non-Partisan Appeal Followed by THE INTELLECTUAL HONESTY CHALLENGE (for Those Who Refuse this Face-Saving Appeal to Reason, Good Sense and Education Over Ideology)
“To do evil a human being must first of all believe that what he’s doing is good . . .”
“Ideology – that is what gives evildoing its long-sought justification and gives the evildoer the necessary steadfastness and determination. That is the social theory which helps to make his acts seem good instead of bad in his own and others’ eyes . . . Thanks to ideology the twentieth century was fated to experience evildoing calculated on a scale in the millions.”
– Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Nobel-Prize-Winning Author and Historian of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), which was formed in 1922 around Solzhenitsyns’ native Soviet Marxist/Communist/Socialist Russia which was the first modern State (since the original 4th Century criminalization of abortion because humans then started to be considered precious not cheap) to legalize human-killing abortion (in 1920); Soviet Russia which was the world’s first philosophically Relativist-Not-Realist (therefore Unscientific), Atheistic and Marxist/Communist/Socialist State, which only 12 years after legalizing abortion also legalized the Holodomor Genocide of this author’s ethnic heritage, which murdered an estimated 7-10 million of this author’s fellow Ukrainian humans (my family escaped by emigrating to Canada in 1908, not long before the Relativist Atheist Socialists took over in 1917).
Since Most Self-Described “Pro-Choicers” are Happy to Accept that They Themselves Have Human Rights that Protect Their Own Human Lives Even While They Happily Deny Human Worth and Human Rights to Preborn Humans Just Like Every One of Us at Their Age (with the Same Extremist, Murderous Bigotry Which First Legalized Human-Killing by Abortion in Extremist Genocidal Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany)–
–This is a Non-Partisan Appeal to All Voters and to All with Even More Influence (Especially Billionaires, Media Moguls, Journalists and “Big Tech” Who Control News and Information; Especially “Big Pharma” Which Exerts Such Profit-Driven Influence Upon the Noble Ancient Medical Profession;
Especially Politicians, Political Parties, Civil Servants, Judges, Police and Military Who Control or Enforce Laws and Public Policy):

START Spreading this HUMAN RIGHTS EDUCATION FOR LASTING FREE DEMOCRACY Until Each Country has More Educated Voters (and More Educated Politicians, Judges, Billionaires, Journalists etc.) than Uneducated Voters (and Uneducated “Big Tech” Media Moguls, Police, Civil Servants and Political Parties, etc.) Tearing Down Worldwide Human Freedom and Trampling Human Rights in Their Ignorance. Those Who Refuse this Face-Saving Non-Partisan Appeal to Good Sense and to Education over Ideology Must Take THE INTELLECTUAL HONESTY CHALLENGE (below) or Else They Just Prove Their Lack of Intelligence or Their Lack of Honesty (for All to See. Remaining “Pro-Choice” But Refusing to Even Take THE INTELLECTUAL HONESTY CHALLENGE is to Fail It).
“. . . those people who have lived in the most terrible conditions, on the frontier between life and death, be it people from the West or from the East, all understand that between good and evil there is an irreconcilable contradiction, that it is not one and the same thing—good or evil—that one cannot build one’s life without regard to this distinction. I am surprised that pragmatic philosophy consistently scorns moral considerations; and nowadays in the Western press we read a candid declaration of the principle that moral considerations have nothing to do with politics. I would remind you that in 1939 England thought differently. If moral considerations were not applicable to politics, then it would be incomprehensible why England went to war with Hitler’s Germany. Pragmatically, you could have gotten out of the situation, but England chose the moral course, and experienced and demonstrated to the world perhaps the most brilliant and heroic period in its history.” — Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
After the “Free West” had finally militarily beaten Nazi Germany, the most explicitly prejudiced, murderous and evil political regime in history (and then was shocked to realize all the murderous atrocities of Nazi Germany were legal), the Nuremberg War Crimes Trials of the Nazis after World War II implicitly established the principle that every human, together with and directly related to their Human Rights (which were formalized and made explicit in the UN”s Universal Declaration of Human Rights shortly after the War), also had Human Responsibilities to recognize and protect these Human Rights in all other humans. As this author has previously written,
Philosophically speaking, Nuremberg later was at base a Trial of Realism passing official judgment over Relativism, because after Nazi Germany the Free World realized the Real World could not afford another Nazi Germany, another State run by Morally Relativistic ideology. The Nuremberg War Crimes Trials of the Nazis assumed and helped us clarify that even though all the atrocities of Nazi Germany were technically legal, for the future safety of all humanity, which cannot afford another Nazi Germany, any “sovereign country’s” laws are still subject to certain minimal principles which even International Law must formally recognize (not create), principles we now call Human Rights, which were in fact formally clarified in the new United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights, produced in 1948, while the Nuremberg Trials were still going on. The same year the Nuremberg Trials called legal abortion in Nazi Germany a “crime against humanity” along with all the other many Nazi crimes against humanity which equally denied Equal Human Rights to some humans. The Nuremberg War Crimes Trials established that for world human safety, the excuses “it was legal in my country” and “I was just following orders,” which in most cases mitigate personal responsibility, did not, could not and must not mitigate responsibility for all the horrors in Nazi Germany that the Nazis led but in which the people participated or collaborated (or at least allowed to happen without resisting, even many otherwise good people, which is why Professor Jordan Peterson reminds us, “the lesson of World War II: You are the Nazi.” Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn confirms, “The battleline between good and evil runs through the heart of every man”). The Nuremberg War Crimes Trials effectively established that these minimal political principles for governing humans we now call Human Rights, which are not given by any government and so cannot be legislated away by any government, of course imply Human Responsibilities to recognize those Human Rights in all other humans (and protect them where they are threatened).
Thus, the Nuremberg War Crimes Trials legitimately prosecuted key figures in Nazi Germany who led or greatly facilitated the mass murders, even though such mass murder was “legal” in Nazi Germany, because these people had criminally neglected their Human Responsibilities to recognize and protect Human Rights in other humans. Hence, not just the Nazi government leadership, but judges, doctors (especially abortionists), businessmen and others in positions of authority who particularly promoted and facilitated the Nazi crimes against humanity were put on trial at Nuremberg. Businessmen who fulfilled Nazi government contracts for customized equipment with no purpose but to kill large numbers of humans quickly (like gas chambers and guillotines), could not claim they were merely “doing business for the government” in building and supplying the Nazis with instruments of mass murder…”.
Those “Pro-Choicers” (especially Pro-Choice politicians and even whole “officially Pro-Choice” political parties, which bear so much of the practical responsibility for their legal human-killing abortion evil witlessly following extremist totalitarian Soviet and Nazi precedents, who refuse this face-saving appeal to reason, good sense and Education Over Ideology, and instead remain “Pro-Choice” after being exposed to the HUMAN RIGHTS EDUCATION FOR LASTING FREE DEMOCRACY in this book series, thereby demonstrating their extremist intellectual dishonesty –
– are hereby given THE INTELLECTUAL HONESTY CHALLENGE (they must note that to refuse to even take THE INTELLECTUAL HONESTY CHALLENGE is to fail it; is tantamount to admitting that one has no intelligent nor intellectually honest justification for remaining Pro-Choice; and therefore, tantamount to admitting one is a danger to Human Rights and freedoms everywhere because of uneducated bigotry that does not recognize democracy-grounding Equal Human Rights for All Humans which is precisely the crux of the Abortion Debate (which is most accurately and honestly called The Equal Human Rights for All Humans Debate).
The Intellectual Honesty Challenge in Brief
The Intellectual Honesty Challenge focuses on what the HUMAN RIGHTS EDUCATION FOR LASTING FREE DEMOCRACY book series identifies from Human Rights History and the History of Philosophy, from Science and from Logic as the touchstone issue for determining the health and longevity of any free democracy – which is whether or not any supposedly “democratic” country (without bigoted exceptions like abortion) affirms and effectively protects Equal Human Rights for All Humans. Because if one cannot be swayed by overwhelming facts and sound logic to accept (without intellectually dishonest and logically fallacious, anti-scientific compromises and exceptions like abortion) the very first of The Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy below, then one is ultimately incompetent either to lead or to help build and sustain a healthy free democracy that protects Human Rights for future generations of humans.
FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLE OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND DEMOCRACY #1: EQUAL HUMAN PRECIOUSNESS WITHOUT EXCEPTIONS
Every human life without exception, without discrimination and “without distinction of any kind” is supremely and equally valuable and precious, obligating governments to protect and serve all precious humans who have “inherent . . . equal and inalienable [human] rights,” (quoted phrases are from the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights which further clarifies that “recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world”) . . . [This Principle is encapsulated on the Flag of Democracy as Equal Human Preciousness, No Exceptions]
So, everyone with influence in our democracies — which means every voter and every politician and party representing voters, as well as others with tremendous influence (like “Big Tech” billionaires, “Big Pharma” executives, “Big Media” moguls, journalists and judges and so on) — for the sake of all humanity must be given The Intellectual Honesty Challenge if they currently do not even know and do not support The Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy.
Everyone is uneducated in something before they have opportunity to be educated. It is no shame to admit that one simply did not previously have the necessary educational background to choose an intelligent and intellectually honest position on the touchstone issue for distinguishing a fundamentally democratic (and fundamentally realistic, scientific) orientation from a fundamentally totalitarian (and fundamentally relativistic, anti-scientific) orientation. It is no shame to admit that one simply did not previously have the necessary Human Rights Education to choose an intelligent and intellectually honest position on the Equal Human Rights for All Humans Debate (the Abortion Debate). No Pro-Choice Legal Abortion supporter (politician or voter or journalist or Big Tech Media outlet) ever chose that position after knowing the established facts of History, Science and Logic and Philosophy collected in this author’s HUMAN RIGHTS EDUCATION FOR LASTING FREE DEMOCRACY book series, which means every Pro-Choice Abortion supporter holds a position based on ignorance and lack of knowledge, which lack of Human Rights Education will be corrected by reading from this book series. This powerful collection of facts demands a thoughtful and intellectually honest response. The Intellectual Honesty Challenge posits that there is no such intelligent honest response which allows for legal abortion to continue. Anyone currently “Pro-Choice” who disagrees is hereby challenged to mount (in writing) an intelligent and intellectually honest response to this book series’ conclusions based on facts to see if they can intelligently and honestly “justify” remaining Pro-Choice in light of all the facts of Human Rights History, Philosophy, Science and Logic which are most pertinent to Free Democracy’s origins and continuation – or else concede (in writing) to this book series’ conclusions (such as Pro-Life equals Pro-Democracy) and change their position from Pro-Choice to Pro-Life, as intellectual honesty demands, if they cannot.
All responses should be sent to Challenge@WilliamBaptiste.com
For decades abortion has been kept legal only by intellectually dishonest Pro-Choice Abortion supporters simply ignoring objective scientific facts and refusing to ever have any scientifically honest and rigorously logical debate looking at all the most pertinent, objectively verifiable facts concerning abortion. But this collection of undisputed (even “textbook”) facts from several academic disciplines is far too powerful to ignore. Thus, to remain Pro-Choice but not respond to The Intellectual Honesty Challenge is to fail it; and is to tacitly admit that you have no intelligent nor intellectually honest justification for remaining on the “Pro-Choice” side of the Equal Human Rights for All Humans Debate (the Abortion Debate).

“Violence does not and cannot flourish by itself; it is inevitably intertwined with lying.” — Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
“Let us not forget that violence does not live alone and is not capable of living alone: it is necessarily interwoven with falsehood. Between them lies the most intimate, the deepest of natural bonds. Violence finds its only refuge in falsehood, falsehood its only support in violence. Any man who has once acclaimed violence as his method must inexorably choose falsehood as his principle.” — Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
“Violence does not necessarily take people by the throat and strangle them. Usually it demands no more than an ultimate allegiance from its subjects. They are required merely to become accomplices in its lies.” — Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
You can resolve to live your life with integrity. Let your credo be this: Let the lie come into the world, let it even triumph. But not through me.” — Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
“I add this caveat for Pro-Choice politicians and voters: Stop the lie. Before you read this, you already knew that preborn humans are humans. You already knew that abortion kills humans. You already knew that killing humans is wrong. So all you have to do is stop lying.” – William Baptiste (Whose Ethnic Group Suffered World History’s Biggest Genocide at the Hands of the World’s First Socialist State, Which was the First State to Legalize Abortion)

“There can be no acceptable future without an honest analysis of the past.” — Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Abraham Lincoln faced precisely the same kind of societal division over precisely the same question of Equal Human Rights for All Humans. Democracy-grounding Equal Human Rights for All Humans were then compromised by the legal slavery of Black humans precisely as Equal Human Rights for All Humans are now compromised by the legal killing of preborn humans (just like each of us at that age, meaning to deny preborn humans an Inherent Human Right to Live is to deny ourselves any Inherent Human Right to Live). In his own day noting this great bifurcation and division among the American people on such a fundamental issue to democracy as whether or not all humans have Equal Human Rights, Lincoln famously said:
“A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure permanently half-slave and half-free.
[today Lincoln might say the American government cannot endure permanently half-Pro-Choice and half- Pro-Life. That is, the American government cannot endure permanently half-Pro-Choice-to-Kill-Humans and half-Pro-Human-Right-to-Live]
I do not expect the Union to be dissolved – I do not expect the house to fall – but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all the other.”
Lincoln’s words in a directly parallel situation to today’s situation mean that Free Democracy (based on Traditional Western beliefs about equal human preciousness) is so fundamentally incompatible with either legal slavery of humans or legal killing of humans by abortion that neither can last long-term in a healthy democracy.
