Something
keeps bugging me about the term socialism. Conservative political
pundits repeatedly claim that progressive leftists want to drag America into
the depths of Marxist socialism. Progressive leftists cheerily agree with this,
because socialism, they say, is at least better than the corrupt system of
economics in the United States. Fair enough. What we have now in the United
States is certainly not working for anyone – but it begs the question: what
economic and social system actually does dominate the United States of
America in 2021? Is it nothing more than an evil, capitalistic system that cannot
be regulated properly, and thus it must be eliminated entirely, a la’ Michael
Moore style? Or is it something else? Honestly: what is a capitalist
economy? Is it what we have right now? Or was it something we used to have a
very long time ago? What does socialism and communism have in
common? Why is there such a fascination with Karl Marx? Why is the ideology of
Joseph Stalin pervasively popular among college-age students? Why is there such
an enormous push to tear down the American system and replace it with something
totally different? Let’s take a look.
The
Birth of Marxism
To
understand the impact that Karl Marx has had on the world, you have to view his
ideology through the lens of history. Marx was born in Prussia in 1818, and
while he is often touted as a great thinker and philosopher, what Karl Marx
was, at his core, was morally decrepit. Millions of people around the world
have been slaughtered in the pursuit of his utopian doctrine – a doctrine which
handily leads to total destruction. One of the driving factors behind the
horrendous destruction inflicted upon entire countries in the name of fairness
and equality is the eradication of God in communist and Marxist
ideology. Karl Marx hated God, and he is quoted as saying that “Communism
begins where atheism begins.” He hated Christianity with a burning passion, and
he especially hated the Jews. Marx said, “The Israelite faith is repulsive to
me.” In fact, historian and author Dr. Paul Kengor wrote in his book, The
Devil and Karl Marx, that Karl Marx himself was obsessed with the occult
and the demonic, as seen in his early writings and poems (see more here:
CWR ). To define Karl Marx as some
kind of Christian social justice warrior – which many feckless progressive
Christians will often attempt to do – is not just completely ignorant of
historical facts, but it’s just plain stupid. One of the biggest driving
factors in the life of Marx was his disdain for Christian morality and
traditional Judeo-Christian values. In order to institute his ideological
dreamworld (predicated on the destruction of class structure, eradication of
private property ownership, and statelessness), two major entities of society
needed to be eliminated: the traditional family and the church. Both of these
things existed as total counterpoints to Marx’s revolutionary “dictatorship of
the proletariat,” as stated by socialist Joseph Weydemeyer. Communism would, in
Marx’s view, be won through violence, by the working class overthrowing the
ruling class. A simple, cursory glance at communism (which is the end goal of
Marx’s socialistic ruminations), may not seem so disturbing. After all, is
there not an elitist ruling class that dictates the terms for the rest of the
world? A ruling class that seems to beat their scepters on the backs of the
peons of the public, drunk on power and wealth and corruption? Certainly. But
is communism the answer to their never-ending abuse of the common man? Let us
consider the facts, and in this case, historical evidence can answer our
question.
So, we
know, based on Karl Marx’s own writings, that he hated God. He called religion
the opium of the masses. Usually, most people who go around hating God
despise the idea of a divine Creator because acknowledging Him as authoritative
demands heart change and conformity to standards of God-defined morality. Marx,
however, was enamored with the idea of human beings who were not, as was
traditionally taught in the Bible, image-bearers of an Almighty God. Marx
believed that man was little more than a higher species of animal. In fact,
Marx was a huge admirer of Charles Darwin’s relatively new evolutionary theory,
which seemed to jive nicely with the whole “man is just an animal” idea. And so,
we see that one of the first big issues with Karl Marx and his social ideas is
that it denigrates the value of humanity. When humans seek to be nothing more
than animals, killing them off is really no big deal. Let’s face it: divine
image-bearers of a Holy God vs. evolved apes? Which category do you think might
be treated, socially speaking, with more respect? In trivializing human worth,
Marx began a popularized downward spiral of social justice. Man was not man.
Man was a cog in a wheel. A paltry rodent in a teeming mass of working-class
miscreants. Those miscreants were little more than a means to an end – a way to
bring about the ultimate statelessness of communism, which would eradicate
private ownership of property and establish a universal income. The biggest
problem, of course, with this social-justice wet dream is that man is
inherently wicked. Communism could only exist in a perfect world, where people
acted without sin, demanded nothing of their neighbors, and desired nothing
from life. Without variance in income, there is nothing to strive for. When
everyone is special, no one is special. And, most terrifyingly of all,
the state is your new lord and master. Forget about God. You now get to worship
the holy state. Of course, as we know, governments are corrupt because human
nature is corrupt. Therefore, how can anyone expect a communistic government to
have anyone’s best interests at heart? You can’t. Don’t believe that? Let’s
take a look at the nightmarish death toll that communism has exacted over the
years.
Communism:
A Serial Killer
According
to an article written by Professor Stephen Kotkin in The Wall Street
Journal, at least 65 million people have died under communist regimes
between 1917 and 2017 (link: WSJ ). This does not count those who
have died of starvation, malnutrition, and medical malpractice (meaning in this context that
they did not receive proper medical care). If you add up those deaths, the
death toll rises by the millions. Most people might look at that and think, You
know what, communism doesn’t look like such a hot idea. And yet its
dangerous ideas are promoted in colleges across America and championed by
today’s wealthy celebrities – who are, ironically, a part of the elite ruling
class who Karl Marx so fervently hated. Celebrities who have built their
empires on the backs of capitalistic ideas, and then proceed to turn around and
trash those very ideas that made them rich. It really makes you think…what
Kool-Aid are these people drinking? Remember, Karl Marx once referred to
religion as the opium of the masses. Religion restrained society. It drew lines
in the sand. It established clear parameters and expectations for moral
behavior. It helped people to immediately distinguish truth versus fiction. In
reality, Marx hated religion because it gave people discernment and common
sense. You cannot overthrow a moral and religious people – not very easily, at
least. But you can handily overthrow a godless, weakened, and emotional society
predicated on subjective truth and popularized social justice mantras.
When the
Bolshevik Revolution kicked off in 1917, Vladimir Lenin spearheaded the
movement with a little coup aimed at overthrowing the Russian government. In
his brilliant and breathtaking book, The Conflict of the Ages, author
and preacher Dr. Gaebelein contends that communism, socialism, and the deaths
that would consume the 20th century were primarily motivated by the
rise of the Illuminati, a Satanic secret society sprung from the
denizens of France. Even the very word Illuminati stirs up whispers of conspiracy
from the average American, and yet history speaks for itself: where the
Illuminati has existed, communism and socialism has reigned. Indeed, Illuminism
is not some Hollywood-borne fantasy. It is a reality – and it is a sick one at
that.
Adam
Weishaupt and the Birth of Illuminism: “Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity”
Much of
the history of the Illuminati is shrouded in secrecy, given its secret nature.
There are few books or resources on the subject, and yet with a little basic
observational skill, one can easily trace its origins and effects over the past
century and a half. Adam Weishaupt was perhaps the most influential mechanism
of Illuminism. Born in 1748 in Bavaria, he was a so-called philosopher,
obsessed with occultism and Satanic ritualism. He believed, also, that reason
must be the supreme religion of the world. He hated patriotism, social
classes, and the traditional family (Gaebelein, 70). It can be no coincidence
that he formed the Illuminati the same year that the American nation was
birthed: 1776. It was Weishaupt who would bring Illuminism and Freemasonry together
into a closer partnership (70). Each society, of course, had one similar goal:
world-wide revolution, achieved through violence, with the end goal being
communism and the eradication of religion. Weishaupt and his followers were
coy, as well. As many Freemasons will even tell you now, Freemasonry elevates
Jesus Christ to a position of honor and worth, and they advertise membership especially to religious people - particularly Christians. It seems like a palatable partnership. Unfortunately, this is a deception. Illuminism is rooted
at its highest and deepest levels in blatant occultism and Satanism. The deeper
one ventures into this secret society, the more impossible it becomes to
disentangle oneself from the truth of the matter. A high-ranking member of this order of fraternal brotherhood knows exactly what he is doing, who is he worshiping, and why he is
doing it: and it has nothing to do with Jesus Christ. In Illuminism or
Freemasonry, Christ is merely the bait. Indeed, Illuminism raged liked a
wildfire after its initial conception, jumping continents and taking root in
the young American Republic. Even Thomas Paine, great patriot and revolutionary
that he was, became a member of the Illuminati (74). This secretive
and poisonous vein of so-called brotherhood and fraternity has spread
throughout the United States since our founding, ultimately manifesting overseas in
bloody dictatorships that saw death, destruction, and ruin beyond imagination.
You can handily pinpoint vestiges of Illuminism here at home in every level of American society,
beginning with the dollar bill: the all-seeing eye atop the pyramid, with the
Latin phrase inscribed beneath it: Novus Ordo Seclorum, which means…
New Order
of the Ages.
Big Banking and the New Order of the Ages
Even the
most casual observer must ask himself why, in a free and constitutional
republic, there exists Illuminati symbology on our currency? We have clearly
established the link between worldwide revolutionary forces like communism and
socialism. They are merely tools at the disposal of these globalist
fraternities, economic and social battering rams with which to goad the masses
to their deaths. And although I will later write an extensive article on the
life of Andrew Jackson, it is important to note that this
historically-demonized former president was nearly assassinated (I believe) for
his resistance to one dangerous idea: national banking.
Herein
lies the Achille’s heel of the entire American nation. National banking, which
can be defined as a federally-controlled banking system that regulates currency
and finances, was the nail in the proverbial coffin of America’s true
independence. When Andrew Jackson was president (he was in office from 1829 to
1837), he vehemently opposed the idea of national banking. Like the
anti-federalists before him, he recognized that the central government needed
to be as small as possible if the states were to retain their sovereignty and
if the people, in turn, were to maintain their individual liberties.
Centralized banking also meant centralized power. He contended that the
national bank had too much power and no supervision. He shut down the Second
Bank of the United States and pulled the country out of bankruptcy. However
rough-edged Jackson may have been, he recognized that the iron tentacles of the
national bank were creeping ever onward, ensnaring everything in its path. And
yet, despite his progress (and his near-assassination), Henry Clay’s so-called American
System was introduced in the 1820s. This system consisted of three main
parts: more tariffs (hint: that means more taxes), the strengthening of a
national bank, and federal subsidies for internal improvements likes roads and
canals ( U.S. Senate Speech: HERE ). Henry Clay’s American System
strengthened the Federal Government’s powers by strengthening the bank.
Subsidies and loans were granted across the country, effectively chaining
states to the centralized power. The Federal Government’s voracious appetite
for wealth and power could not be satiated. It continued to grow. And, although
the currency virtually collapsed in the wake of the Civil War, the Federal
Government rallied again, indignantly finding a way to maintain its control
over the American dollar. In fact, it was F.D.R.’s decision to add the
all-seeing eye of Illuminism to the American dollar bill in 1935. For a country
supposedly built on traditional Judeo-Christian values…why was our President dead
set on including symbology from a satanic fraternity whose self-professed goal
was to eliminate patriotism, families, religion, and individual liberty?
Connecting the dots has never been so easy. Clearly, the New Order of the
Ages has been a long time coming.
Dirty
Little Secrets
The dirty little secret about America is simple: there is the history that you have been taught in
school. Most of it is merely a monochrome shadow of the truth. You are taught
that America is a racist country. A selfish country. A country of killers and white, colonial, environmental rapists. You are taught that
America is so evil, in fact, that it must be completely abolished and born
anew…and what better system to replace it with than the glowing, Utopian vision
of communism? Sharing is caring, after all. Remember: communism is
patient. It overtakes slowly, by planting seeds and ideas, subversively
metastasizing in pop culture and literature. The socialist ideas of Marx are
plucked like low-hanging fruit by over-eager college kids, desperate to assuage
the wounds of a failing capitalist society; a young generation convinced that
the weaknesses of America are borne through freedom and liberty. And there is the history that you are not taught. The history that has been hidden and expunged so that you will not catch on to what is happening before your very eyes - a history that must be uncovered by research and determination and a dedication to facts, evidence, and historical documentation. Ask yourself: is America a free country today? Is our economy predicated on a capitalist, free-market system? Are our college-aged children being taught to hate capitalism...or something else masquerading as capitalism?
And that
is where we find ourselves now, America. We are a United States that functions
as a crippled, cheap imitation of a free economy and society. Burdened by over-regulation, exorbitant taxation, and government bloat, the United States is
a soft-core socialist country already. The next stop on the socialism agenda is
full communism, and it is rushing toward us all at breathtaking speed. It begs
the question: if America – once so proud and just and glowing – is poised to
fall, will we, the people be there to catch her? To hoist her back to her feet?
To dust the ashes of failed socialist policies and thinly-veiled communist revolution
off her shoulders? Will Lady Liberty shine once more, restored to her former
glory – before national banking set the stage for corporate greed, socialist
economics, and communist ideology in the schoolroom? Will we, in the course of
human events, stand idly by while our country crumbles around us? Or will we
join the denizens of patriots from yesteryear? Patriots who swore their lives,
fortunes, and sacred honor to the wild and dreamy hope of attaining individual
liberty and a future for their families?
Communism
would tell you that violent overthrow and eventual statelessness is the only way.
Communism
is wrong.
Illuminism
would tell you that only through reason and the eradication of societal pillars
like the family and patriotism can perfection be achieved.
Illuminism
is wrong.
The beauty
of America is that, despite the malevolent forces that have often strategically
and secretly worked to undermine her values and her functionality, the people
of America have never failed to ultimately answer a call to battle. Freedom
is not easily won, and it is dangerously close to extinction with every passing
moment.
Karl Marx
set the stage for a communist revolution in America long ago. Thousands of
others have worked tirelessly to put his dogmatic beliefs and theories into practice
in American culture ever since.
But
knowledge is power. If you understand the machinations of your enemy, then you
can easily expect what is coming next. And the enemy, surprisingly, never seems
to expect the unwavering, selfless courage of an average American fighting for his or her family.
The Declaration of Independence
July 4th, 1776
When in the Course of human events, it becomes
necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected
them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate
and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them,
a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare
the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men
are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain
unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of
Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men,
deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever
any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of
the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying
its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to
them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence,
indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed
for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that
mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right
themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a
long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object
evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it
is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for
their future security.—Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies;
and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former
Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a
history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the
establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let
Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome
and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of
immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his
Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to
attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the
accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish
the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and
formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places
unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public
Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his
measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly,
for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such
dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers,
incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their
exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of
invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these
States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners;
refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the
conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by
refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for
the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent
hither swarms of Officers to arass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing
Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of
and superior to the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a
jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws;
giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment
for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the
world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of
Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for
pretended offences
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a
neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and
enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit
instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most
valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring
themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out
of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt
our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of
foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny,
already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled
in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized
nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive
on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners
of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and
has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless
Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction
of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have
Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have
been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked
by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free
people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our
Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their
legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded
them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have
appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by
the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would
inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been
deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore,
acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as
we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united
States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme
Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by
Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare,
That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent
States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and
that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is
and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States,
they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish
Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of
right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the
protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives,
our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
