* * * In the Medieval Ages, they had to separate from the cities--
statesmanship from the religious field--because people were corrupted at that
time. But when it comes to our age, we must have an automatic theocracy to rule
the world. So, we cannot separate the political field from the religious.
* * * Separation between religion and politics is what Satan likes most. (Italics
added.) (234)
At the center of such a state would be Moon and his organization, based in
Korea. In another speech, delivered to a crowd of over a million at an anti-
Communist rally in Korea, Moon visualized the establishment of a "unified
civilization" of the whole world, to be centered in Korea and "corresponding to
that of the Roman Empire." (235)
Moon teaches American UC members to regard Korea with great reverence
and he foresees the day when the Korean language will be spoken throughout
the world:
In order to set up one culture, we must unify the languages into one * * * In the
meal world centered upon God, everyone will speak only Korean, so no
interpreter will be necessary. (236)
Moon promises to use his trained followers from around the world on behalf of
South Korea in case of war, as he proclaimed at a public rally near Seoul:
* * * in case North Korea provokes a war against the South Korean people,
they [UC members] believe it is God's will to protect their religious fatherland to
the last, to organize the Unification Crusade Army, and to take part in the war as
a supporting force to defend both Korea and the free World. (237)
Anti-communism is one key reason for Moon's espousal of a worldwide
theocracy and rejection of some of the most fundamental tenets of American
democracy. Moon finds "American-style democracy" to be "a good nursery for
the growth of Communism.
''(238)
In a speech in Seoul, Moon proclaimed that
God was helping to set up a final battle involving the United States, Russia,
China, North Korea, South Korea, and Japan. Illustrative of the stridency of his
ideology, he said: "We should defeat Kim I1 Sung [President of North Korea],
smash Mao Tse-tung, and crush the Soviet Union in the name of God." (289)

To achieve his theocracy, Moon has mapped out strategies for gaining control
and influence over economic, political, cultural, academic, media, and religious
institutions. The efforts of the Moon Organization are to be concentrated on key
nations.
If we can manipulate seven nations at least, then we can get hold of the
whole world: the United States, England, France, Germany, Soviet Russia, and
