The following post is from 2012....abridged somewhat because of length and with some comments from today in parentheses. This post deals with Communism while the post below it deals with Globalism. Both of these systems give no quarter. Both are intent on subjugating you and me, albeit for different purposes. They will fight it out later after liberty is extinguished. Mitch McConnell is but a tool of the globalists.....Barack Obama but a tool of Communism. Destroying a conservative senatorial candidate a month before the election is a coup.....along with in effect a political assassination.....the repercussions of which effect the freedom and liberty of every young girl or boy in this nation. It effects whether they can worship God or not.....or even if they can be told of God. Our eyes are elsewhere as usual. These people know us better than we know ourselves....admitted....but they think that they are pulling one off on God....who has a hook in their mouths. Prayer from Christians for wisdom and discernment is needed.....but that is not our forte today.....we're into politics.....and doing one lousy job of it.
Well, it should be apparent to anyone with enough interest to look into it that Communism is back with a vengeance and the prime target is the United States of America. (unfortunately we still prefer to use the descriptive 'the Left' which has become almost meaningless today). We knew all along that Barack Obama was a Socialist, this was never in doubt, it was what we didn't know about him that was so mystifying. (Well, today we know who he is)
Karl Marx was the world's foremost critic of Capitalism and therefore a giant influence on both economic theory and world history in the last century. A few years ago I picked up a small book titled Why Read Marx Today by a British academic Jonathan Wolff. In this 2002 book the author's admiration for the brilliance of Marx was dimmed only a little by the unpleasant fact that Communism had failed everywhere it was tried. The author admitted frustration a few times in Marx's limited explanation on how this world takeover by the proletariat was actually going to take place.
The reason given for it's failure in the Soviet Union was that the Bolsheviks jumped the gun, for as Feudalism came to the point where it could no longer sustain itself and gave way to Capitalism, so would Capitalism would give way to Communism; but a foundation is needed for the next 'ism' to sprout, and Russia provided none. The author did not give reasons for failures elsewhere, instead he just demonstrated a profound disappointment in how these revolutionaries handled their sudden power.
In Marxist theory the classes were to become so alienated that revolutions would follow...must follow...and that that alienation, if need be, would have to be agitated upon, (this is what we are experiencing in America today....the NFL being one example we did not expect) It wasn't the lack of an economic foundation in the Soviet Union that brought on the gulag or the lack of a strong economy that brought Mao to butcher his millions but rather a faulty view on man, for if there are no laws man will rule with tyranny.
As we all know, Marx hated religion, it was the "opium of the people" as we have heard mentioned so often. God was a "barrier" for man to realize his "species-essence" according to Marx, and a "sham" according to Wolff who wrote: "it is a constant source of wonder yet to me that intelligent, educated people can bring themselves to believe any of this." (Breitbart is reporting....November 15th.....that a rural province of China is "denying...pivotal poverty relief packages if (people) do not replace images of Jesus in their households with photos of Xi Jinping"....also Christians are "ignorant" and "need to be taught to worship the state, not God." The article is titled "China Urges Rural Christians To Replace Jesus Images With Xi Jinping" and is up on the Breitbart site right now.)
Marx's philosophy was that if the concept of "labour" is freed from the oppression of the ruling class then it will eventually sprout up in forms of sharing, fairness and peace towards all, another problem for the author and another failed prediction laid at the feet of Marx. What happens in reality is that the revolutionary seizes power and then will kill as many as it takes, tens of millions if necessary, to eventually demonstrate his great compassion towards mankind! (please allow me to repeat this.....the revolutionary seizes power and then will kill as many as it takes, tens of millions if necessary, to eventually demonstrate his great compassion towards mankind! In like manner our Progressives today will hurt any group...children....women....Blacks....families.....to show how compassionate they are to that group!)
Marx's philosophy was built upon the future being "dialectical" in nature, changing time and again but always in the direction of the revolution of the proletariat. The fall of the Soviet Union would merely have been seen as an opportunity to tact wider to reach the same goal. Marx would view the chorus of calls today for freedom and liberty in America (conservatives) as the proletariat simply demanding more protection from government to oppress others.
The generations represented in 2012 will be shown to either be of vintage American stock that may make more mistakes than it should be allotted but ultimately humble itself before it's Creator....and be given strength and wisdom to persevere and overcome..... or..... it will be the last generations of this grand "American Experiment." (With no political party to represent those of vintage American stock in 2017.....the grand American Experiment is all but over.
Note: If you want a good primer on Communism, I highly recommend Paul Kengor's latest book....The Politically Incorrect Guide To Communism..The Killingest Idea Ever.....available now on the shelves at Barnes & Noble.
