美杂志评出世界10大有害书籍 红宝书位列前三甲

http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=7591 美国HUMAN EVENTS周报找了15个保守学者评出来的，200年以来的10大有害书籍。马克思和恩格斯合著的《共产党宣言》，众望所归荣膺榜首。 1、《共产党宣言》 作者：马克思&恩格斯，1848年 此二人身为共产主义教父，前者一生的大部分生活都是后者资助的。本书号召工人革命，消灭财产、家庭和国家，建立无产阶级乌托邦。该理论付诸实践后，产生了邪恶帝国苏联。 2、《我的奋斗》作者：阿道夫·希特勒，1925-1926年 希特勒因领导“啤酒馆暴动”而被投入监狱，他在狱中出版了该书。书中阐述了他的种族主义、反犹主义以及“生存空间”理论，直接导致了二战和犹太大屠杀。1945年二战结束时，该书的发行量已经超过了1000万册。 3、《毛主席语录》作者：毛主席，1966年 1976年去世的毛，在二战结束后领导红军战胜了蒋介石的国民党，夺得中国的控制权。1949年，他建立了中华人民共和国，用共产主义奴役世界上人口最多的国家。1966年，《毛主席语录》出版，又称红宝书，是他发动文化大革命的工具之一。（后面引用了一句语录，我没有读过，不敢乱翻）。 4、《金赛报告》作者：阿尔弗雷德·金赛 ，1948年 印第安那大学动物学家金赛，1948年出版了《男性性行为》，被称为《金赛报告》。5年后，他又出版了《女性性行为》。去年，电影《金赛》上映时，华盛顿时报称，他的报告震惊了美国，他指出按照40年代的法律，95%的美国男人都可被指控性侵犯。……该书甚至认为，成年人和孩子之间的性行为是有益的。 5、《民主主义与教育》作者：杜威，1916年 进步主义哲学家约翰·杜威曾任教于芝加哥大学和哥伦比亚大学，签署过《人道主义宣言》，拒绝传统宗教和道德绝对主义。他在该书中，诋毁旨在培养传统品质的学校教育，主张以思考代替努力学习。他的观点后来极大影响了美国的公共教育，直接孕育了“克林顿一代”。 6、《资本论》作者：马克思，1867-1894年 马克思生前出版了该大部头书的第一卷，完成的后面两卷手稿后来由其终身资助人恩格斯出版。该书把资本主义描绘成人类社会发展的一个丑陋阶段，资本家毫不留情地压榨剩余价值。马克思的理论的最终结果是全球无产者大革命。他没能预见21世纪的美国：自由、丰裕，以资本主义和代议制政府为基础，人人都羡慕并拼命仿效。 7、《女性的奥秘》 作者：贝蒂·弗里丹，1963年 这本书没听说过，不翻了。 8、《实证主义哲学》作者：孔德，1830-1842年 社会学奠基人奥古斯特·孔德，生于法国天主教保皇党家庭，在青年时期宣布放弃信仰。后来，他在六卷本《实证主义哲学》中首次用了“社会学”这个词。他创立的理论认为，人类意识已经超越“神学，通过“形而上学”，达到了“实证主义”的境界。 9、《善恶之彼岸》作者：尼采，1886年 尼采这本书的主题即是那句最著名的话：“上帝死了”。尼采写道：“生命的本质就是占有、伤害，压倒陌生人和弱者，压迫、惩罚、被迫自我接受，兼并，以及哪怕是最少程度、最温和的攫取。” 纳粹爱尼采。 10、《就业、利息与货币通论》作者：凯恩斯，1936年 在伊顿公学和剑桥接受了精英教育的 凯恩斯，在“大萧条” 期间写了《通论》。这本书的主旨是，鼓励政府通过增加预算赤字、扩大消费来刺激经济，后来被罗斯福用作美国国策。现在美国政府每年的预算使26亿美元，负债80亿美元。 Ten Most Harmful Books of the 19th and 20th Centuries 05/31/2005 HUMAN EVENTS asked a panel of 15 conservative scholars and public policy leaders to help us compile a list of the Ten Most Harmful Books of the 19th and 20th Centuries. Each panelist nominated a number of titles and then voted on a ballot including all books nominated. A title received a score of 10 points for being listed No. 1 by one of our panelists, 9 points for being listed No. 2, etc. Appropriately, The Communist Manifesto, by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, earned the highest aggregate score and the No. 1 listing. 1. The Communist Manifesto Authors: Karl Marx and Freidrich Engels Publication date: 1848 Score: 74 Summary: Marx and Engels, born in Germany in 1818 and 1820, respectively, were the intellectual godfathers of communism. Engels was the original limousine leftist: A wealthy textile heir, he financed Marx for much of his life. In 1848, the two co-authored The Communist Manifesto as a platform for a group they belonged to called the Communist League. The Manifesto envisions history as a class struggle between oppressed workers and oppressive owners, calling for a workers’ revolution so property, family and nation-states can be abolished and a proletarian Utopia established. The Evil Empire of the Soviet Union put the Manifesto into practice. 2. Mein Kampf Author: Adolf Hitler Publication date: 1925-26 Score: 41 Summary: Mein Kampf (My Struggle) was initially published in two parts in 1925 and 1926 after Hitler was imprisoned for leading Nazi Brown Shirts in the so-called “Beer Hall Putsch” that tried to overthrow the Bavarian government. Here Hitler explained his racist, anti-Semitic vision for Germany, laying out a Nazi program pointing directly to World War II and the Holocaust. He envisioned the mass murder of Jews, and a war against France to precede a war against Russia to carve out “lebensraum” (“living room”) for Germans in Eastern Europe. The book was originally ignored. But not after Hitler rose to power. According to the Simon Wiesenthal Center, there were 10 million copies in circulation by 1945. 3. Quotations from Chairman Mao Author: Mao Zedong Publication date: 1966 Score: 38 Summary: Mao, who died in 1976, was the leader of the Red Army in the fight for control of China against the anti-Communist forces of Chiang Kai-shek before, during and after World War II. Victorious, in 1949, he founded the People’s Republic of China, enslaving the world’s most populous nation in communism. In 1966, he published Quotations from Chairman Mao Zedong, otherwise known as The Little Red Book, as a tool in the “Cultural Revolution” he launched to push the Chinese Communist Party and Chinese society back in his ideological direction. Aided by compulsory distribution in China, billions were printed. Western leftists were enamored with its Marxist anti-Americanism. “It is the task of the people of the whole world to put an end to the aggression and oppression perpetrated by imperialism, and chiefly by U.S. imperialism,” wrote Mao. 4. The Kinsey Report Author: Alfred Kinsey Publication date: 1948 Score: 37 Summary: Alfred Kinsey was a zoologist at Indiana University who, in 1948, published a study called Sexual Behavior in the Human Male, commonly known as The Kinsey Report. Five years later, he published Sexual Behavior in the Human Female. The reports were designed to give a scientific gloss to the normalization of promiscuity and deviancy. “Kinsey’s initial report, released in 1948 . . . stunned the nation by saying that American men were so sexually wild that 95% of them could be accused of some kind of sexual offense under 1940s laws,” the Washington Times reported last year when a movie on Kinsey was released. “The report included reports of sexual activity by boys--even babies--and said that 37% of adult males had had at least one homosexual experience. . . . The 1953 book also included reports of sexual activity involving girls younger than age 4, and suggested that sex between adults and children could be beneficial.” 5. Democracy and Education Author: John Dewey Publication date: 1916 Score: 36 Summary: John Dewey, who lived from 1859 until 1952, was a “progressive” philosopher and leading advocate for secular humanism in American life, who taught at the University of Chicago and at Columbia. He signed the Humanist Manifesto and rejected traditional religion and moral absolutes. In Democracy and Education, in pompous and opaque prose, he disparaged schooling that focused on traditional character development and endowing children with hard knowledge, and encouraged the teaching of thinking “skills” instead. His views had great influence on the direction of American education--particularly in public schools--and helped nurture the Clinton generation. 6. Das Kapital Author: Karl Marx Publication date: 1867-1894 Score: 31 Summary: Marx died after publishing a first volume of this massive book, after which his benefactor Engels edited and published two additional volumes that Marx had drafted. Das Kapital forces the round peg of capitalism into the square hole of Marx’s materialistic theory of history, portraying capitalism as an ugly phase in the development of human society in which capitalists inevitably and amorally exploit labor by paying the cheapest possible wages to earn the greatest possible profits. Marx theorized that the inevitable eventual outcome would be global proletarian revolution. He could not have predicted 21st Century America: a free, affluent society based on capitalism and representative government that people the world over envy and seek to emulate. 7. The Feminine Mystique Author: Betty Friedan Publication date: 1963 Score: 30 Summary: In The Feminine Mystique, Betty Friedan, born in 1921, disparaged traditional stay-at-home motherhood as life in “a comfortable concentration camp”--a role that degraded women and denied them true fulfillment in life. She later became founding president of the National Organization for Women. Her original vocation, tellingly, was not stay-at-home motherhood but left-wing journalism. As David Horowitz wrote in a review for Salon.com of Betty Friedan and the Making of the Feminine Mystique by Daniel Horowitz (no relation to David): The author documents that “Friedan was from her college days, and until her mid-30s, a Stalinist Marxist, the political intimate of the leaders of America’s Cold War fifth column and for a time even the lover of a young Communist physicist working on atomic bomb projects in Berkeley’s radiation lab with J. Robert Oppenheimer.” 8. The Course of Positive Philosophy Author: Auguste Comte Publication date: 1830-1842 Score: 28 Summary: Comte, the product of a royalist Catholic family that survived the French Revolution, turned his back on his political and cultural heritage, announcing as a teenager, “I have naturally ceased to believe in God.” Later, in the six volumes of The Course of Positive Philosophy, he coined the term “sociology.” He did so while theorizing that the human mind had developed beyond “theology” (a belief that there is a God who governs the universe), through “metaphysics” (in this case defined as the French revolutionaries’ reliance on abstract assertions of “rights” without a God), to “positivism,” in which man alone, through scientific observation, could determine the way things ought to be. 9. Beyond Good and Evil Author: Freidrich Nietzsche Publication date: 1886 Score: 28 Summary: An oft-scribbled bit of college-campus graffiti says: “‘God is dead’--Nietzsche” followed by “‘Nietzsche is dead’--God.” Nietzsche’s profession that “God is dead” appeared in his 1882 book, The Gay Science, but under-girded the basic theme of Beyond Good and Evil, which was published four years later. Here Nietzsche argued that men are driven by an amoral “Will to Power,” and that superior men will sweep aside religiously inspired moral rules, which he deemed as artificial as any other moral rules, to craft whatever rules would help them dominate the world around them. “Life itself is essentially appropriation, injury, overpowering of the strange and weaker, suppression, severity, imposition of one’s own forms, incorporation and, at the least and mildest, exploitation,” he wrote. The Nazis loved Nietzsche. 10. General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money Author: John Maynard Keynes Publication date: 1936 Score: 23 Summary: Keynes was a member of the British elite--educated at Eton and Cambridge--who as a liberal Cambridge economics professor wrote General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money in the midst of the Great Depression. The book is a recipe for ever-expanding government. When the business cycle threatens a contraction of industry, and thus of jobs, he argued, the government should run up deficits, borrowing and spending money to spur economic activity. FDR adopted the idea as U.S. policy, and the U.S. government now has a $2.6-trillion annual budget and an $8-trillion dollar debt.
