Chapter 1 — The Evil of Evil Men The Compound of Human Wickedness and Imperial Greed — Savagery, Private Appetite, the “Thick-Face, Black-Heart” Tradition, and Absolute Domination of All-Under-Heaven (1921– )
Focus：CORE ARGUMENT OF THIS CHAPTER. What this chapter calls “the evil of evil men” does not claim that human nature is only evil, nor does it assign guilt by origin; rather, it examines how certain people give free rein to the savagery, extreme private appetite, greed, envy, vengefulness, and lust to dominate within human nature, and fuse these with the imperial tradition’s “treating all-under-heaven as private property, boundless power, dynastic ‘family-owns-the-realm’ succession, and ‘thick-face, black-heart’ statecraft.” The political personality thus cultivated takes the fist for reason, the gun for truth, the seizure of power for legitimacy, the state for private property, the people for a tool, and the weak and the dissident for expendable objects; it is the enemy of human civilization and universal values, the evil men and rogues of our age. It constitutes the wellspring of appetite and the character substratum of the CCP’s evil: false doctrine subsequently justifies it, and the gangster organization then magnifies it into institutional and state violence.

SCOPE AND CLASSIFICATION BOUNDARY. This chapter studies only the personality origins, lust for power, and behavioral patterns of the evil of evil men; it does not brand all ordinary Party members, or persons of a particular background, as evil men across the board. Judgment must rest on their statements, orders, decisions, conduct, gains, and attitude toward their victims; human nature and the tradition of imperial power are explanatory variables, while concrete responsibility must still be pinned to specific individuals and institutions.

The CCP's cult of violence has a clear lineage: Mao's 1927 Report on the Hunan Peasant Movement endorsed the 'riffraff movement' and violent methods; 'political power grows out of the barrel of a gun' (August 7 Conference, 1927) became a founding creed. The Yan'an Rectification (1942–1945) established the leader's absolute authority and the practice of forcing everyone through political vetting.
