These past few weeks I’ve been led to blow a trumpet on the dangers and practical effects of Marxism, Communism, Corporate Globalism, Deep State, New World Order and whatever you might call it, after all it has many names depending in which country you live.
My goal has been to challenge my readers to consider that many other watchmen are warning that Marxism continues to exert a remarkable influence across the world. There is a shadow deep state cabal in every government in all 196 member states in the U.N., and they all work towards the same goal that has the same end: destroy the Church of Jesus Christ.
Martin Bormann, one of the men closest to Hitler, said publicly in 1941, “National Socialism and Christianity are irreconcilable.” In 1944 a Mexican Communist leader said, To hope for a Communist victory is useless if we do not stamp out Christianity. The Communists are very outspoken against Christianity.
Anatole Lunarsharky said that “Christian love is retarding the development of the Communist revolution. His slogan: We need hate; only then will we win the world.”At the same time, Radio Leningrad went into action and continuously attacked Christians with a bombardment of verbal insults, ”The Gospel and the Christian legends must be fought without sympathy and with all possible means.”
The large percentage of the human population and which has been defined as Third-World is highly Marxist in nature. Western societies had been exempt, mainly because the Gospel of Jesus Christ brought freedom and liberty.
George Meany, the American trade union leader, once declared, “The conflict between communism and freedom is the greatest problem of our time. It overshadows all other problems. The future of the whole human race depends on the outcome of this conflict.”
In the last 40-50 years, millions of young people have been trained in the doctrines of Marxism/Leninism. The Communists have set up an educational system whereby this ideology is presented, analysed, and illustrated in a thousand clever ways.
It is difficult for the people of a free society to realize the near total extent to which thought control is practised in its most sophisticated form in the educational structure, the media, and in all other avenues of information within a Communist society.
For instance, today, it is alarming to see how many college students in the West support Socialism. That tells me they’ve been brainwashed and do not understand the implications of this philosophy and the impact it could have on their lives. This is especially appropriate in view of what’s going on in Venezuela.
Venezuela is falling apart. Its economy? Ruined. Its people? Hungry. Its government? Corrupt. What happened? In a word, Socialism. Debbie D’Souza, a native Venezuelan and political activist, explains:
According to Simon Black,
If you’ve been reading Notes, you know I believe the rise of socialism is one of the most important and threatening themes today. Radical, socialist ideas are gripping the world today like I’ve never seen before.
And a rising crop of socialist politicians is angling for the US presidency in 2020 – people like Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Kristen Gillibran, Bernie Sanders and most recently New Jersey Senator Cory Booker. (Booker has already proposed an increase to the US federal estate tax, a.k.a. ‘death tax’, to an unbelievable 65%!)
Bear in mind that Booker raised taxes by 20% while serving as mayor of the City of Newark, and as Senator he has been vocally in favor of everything from nationalized healthcare to so-called ‘baby bonds’ where the US Treasury manages savings accounts for new-born babies.
These candidates (and potential candidates) are demonizing the rich. They’re out for blood. And they’re going to get it.
These are just some of the ideas floated by these politicians – 70% (or higher) progressive tax rates, annual penalties for having a certain amount of money, free healthcare, free education, etc…
But this problem isn’t just in the US… the same ideas are making waves in France, the UK and most other major economies around the world.
I mean… this group is so socialist I’m starting to think that someone is going to enter the exhumed remains of Karl Marx into the US Presidential race.
Educational Philosophy of Millennials
The mindset of many people, especially the millennial generation, seems to signal a very dangerous shift in Western values and beliefs-a shift from which it may be difficult, if not impossible, to recover.
The Open Syllabus Project did a huge study and determined that Karl Marx’s “Communist Manifesto” has been taught more than any other text on college campuses over the last decade. Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” and Vladimir Lenin’s “What is to be Done” were also very popular classroom texts. The Bible, the foundational book of Western society didn’t even make the list.
In the Communist Manifesto, which has been used to transform the educational philosophy of Millennials, Marx ascribes all the cruelties and grievances of history to an entity he called the bourgeoisie, (this is the middle class) but by this term, he means capitalists, the owners of the means of social production and employers of wage-labour.
By proletariat, he meant the class of modern wage labourers who, having no means of production of their own, are reduced to selling labour-power in order to live.
A Cynical Hypocrite
Marx complained bitterly against those who own the means of production, saying,
The bourgeoisie has stripped of its halo every occupation hitherto honoured and looked upon with reverent awe. It has converted the physician, the lawyer, the priest, the poet, the man of science, into its paid wage labourers. The bourgeoisie has torn away from the family its sentimental veil and has reduced the family relation to a mere money relation.
Karl Marx wanted to destroy free enterprise because the factory regime in England during the nineteenth century was appalling just like it was in 2013, in Bangladesh, where a garment factory that employed almost 3,000 workers collapsed. He rightly noted:
In its blind unrestrainable passion, its wear-wolf hunger for surplus labor, capital oversteps not only the moral, but even the merely physical maximum bounds of the working day. It usurps the time for growth, development and healthy maintenance of the body. It steals the time required for the consumption of fresh air and sunlight…. All that concerns it is simply and solely the maximum of labor-power that can be rendered fluent in a working-day. It attains this end by shortening the extent of the labourer’s life, as a greedy farmer snatches increased produce from the soul by reducing it of its fertility.
It is obvious, that Karl Marx was a cynical hypocrite. He advocated a classless society and wanted a new, firmer, crueller class than any bourgeois society in the whole world.
Marx like Darwin believed in a form of natural selection, but he held that this selection was produced not primarily by biological forces but by economic forces. For him, bourgeois societies are weak, decadent, cruel, and exploitative because the capitalists produce an economic environment that fosters these negative human qualities.
Children are raised to believe that they own their clothes, their shoes, their bicycles, and later, their cars and homes. Marx saw this concept of personal possession as the grossest of evils because he believed that what a person presumed to own he owned in contrast to, indeed in opposition to, the good of society.
The good society Marx saw only coming to pass through an economic revolution was the one that removed all possessions from the hands of the individual and placed them into the hands of an ‘all-knowing-Omniscience’ state. Then the class struggle would magically disappear and everyone would work “according to his ability” and give to each “according to his need,” all through the god he invented the Communist/Socialist party.
The founder of communism knew that to destroy the family, it would be necessary to destroy private property. The tax system would be used to take away from one person and give to another. He knew that he must put an economic squeeze on the family, so he proposed a centralized banking system which would debase the currency.
Ultimately, Marx’s communist vision and object in life was to dethrone God and displace Him as the creative intelligence of the world and subsequently destroy free enterprise.
He forgot one thing that the Church of Jesus Christ can never be destroyed because it is built upon sure foundations. God’s authority over the nations and history is beautifully expressed in Psalm 2:1-6.
Final Thoughts
Marxism, Communism and Socialism and all these insidious philosophies threaten our gospel freedoms, but as we have previously stated, we cannot defeat Communism with weapons.
Our battle is a spiritual one: For we are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood, but against persons without bodies—the evil rulers of the unseen world, those mighty satanic beings and great evil princes of darkness who rule this world; and against huge numbers of wicked spirits in the spirit world (Ephesians 6:12).
Marxism or Communism is more than just a political system. It is an ideology or rather a religion. Behind this ’religion’ are the powers of darkness. There are real enemies of the Church of Jesus Christ. The good news is that these people are a conquered enemy because of the cross, Christ triumphed over them (Colossians 2:15).
Against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in heavenly places, we have the power of the Holy Spirit. All the powers of darkness tremble in His presence. “For He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world” (1 John 4:4).
