25. Human rights: Freedoms can be lost
Hear about the unimaginable suffering that resulted from people who believed themselves to be doing good, but whose core ideas rejected the basis from which the value of every human life can be argued. The end therefore now justified the means. By pulling down instead of building up they ruined their own freedoms and prosperity. The sobering reality is that this has happened many times in recent history – with almost 70 examples of socialism in the history books applied to gain power by people carrying the ideals of fascism or communism in the past 100 years alone.
