Cultural Revolution - Part XIII
|
COMMUNISM IS A RELIGION
The traditional Christian values that formed American culture are irreconcilable with communism. Satan’s primary work is to affect the minds of mankind to reject God. The devil occupies the thoughts of man causing him to rebel against God. Satan consumes and distracts society’s senses with every form of debauchery. The outcome of this direction is how the devil leads man toward his own destruction. There’s no better place to advance his rebellion than to appeal to man’s sinful state with its lustful desires rooted in man’s pride. God supplied a means for society to live and be reconciled to God. God supplied his righteous laws to reveal His holiness to sinful man. After Adam’s fall, all of humanity was born dead in trespasses and sin and therefore needed a Redeemer. God would accept only one sacrifice for the wages of man’s sins—a perfect sacrificial death. Because of sin, all born after Adam would not qualify as a perfect sacrifice. Instead, God would send His own Son to pay the penalty for sin, that by Jesus Christ’s death on the cross, God would accept our faith in Christ’s efficacious sacrifice as the means of receiving His salvation grace.
Contrary to God, Satan has a plan to build a society for man that has its own set of ungodly principles. To accomplish this, he must take control of every facet of society and corrupt the ways of God by his subtlety. Communism is a program of creating a paradise on earth to promote an atheistic conception of social progress. It emphasizes materialism to undermine the spiritual pursuits of mankind to enable communist ideology to spread to every sphere of society. Communism tries to separate morality from law, then destroy morality by concocting malicious new laws and subjecting existing law to distorted and twisted interpretations. Psalm 94 says, “Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law? They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.” Communism is like cancer—when it spreads, it destroys that which is good. As it metastasizes throughout society, it eliminates national sovereignty and identity, moral and cultural traditions. Psalm 11:3 says, “If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?”
KARL MARX
In The Communist Manifesto, Marx proclaimed, “The Communist revolution is the most radical rupture with traditional property relations; no wonder that its development involved the most radical rupture with traditional ideas.”1
In addition to his best-known work, The Communist Manifesto, Marx also wrote Das Kapital. These works form the theoretical basis of the communist movement. Early in his life, Marx had been a devout Christian until he turned his soul over to the devil. Prior to his demonic transition, he was an enthusiastic believer in God. In one of his early poems, “Invocation of One in Despair,” Marx wrote of his intent to take his revenge on God:
So a god snatched from me my all
In the curse and rack of Destiny.
All his worlds are gone beyond recall!
Nothing but revenge is left to me!
On myself revenge I’ll proudly wreak,
On that being, that enthroned Lord,
Make my strength a patchwork of what’s weak,
Leave my better self without reward!
I shall build my throne high overhead,
Cold, tremendous shall its summit be.
For its bulwark—superstitious dread,
For its Marshall—blackest agony.2
It’s essential to understand what motivated Marx and his ideology of communism. One cannot ignore his influence on society, especially to those he appealed to in the realm of philosophy and education. To us who know Jesus Christ, Marx’s demonic writings bare witness that it was either Satan himself or demon powers that inspired him.
In a letter to his father, Marx described the changes he was experiencing: “A curtain was fallen, my holiest of holies was ripped apart, and new gods had to be set in their place.” Following his signature on the letter, he wrote “A true unrest has taken mastery of me and I will not be able to calm the excited spirits until I am in your dear presence.”
Marx also wrote of a young woman who abandons her love of Christ and meets a ghastly end:
Thus Heaven I’ve forfeited,
I know it full well.
My soul, once true to God,
Is chosen for Hell.3
His changes did not go unnoticed. His father responded to Marx in letters, warning his son that his earthly well-being was not the only desire of his heart. Through Marx’s poems, it becomes clear that his intentions were to depart from God and serve Satan. He would go so far as to say that he wanted to take vengeance on the one who rules above. He would expand his rebellious spirit by blaming God as the keynote to perverting civilization that must now be destroyed. Make no mistake, Marxism is satanic. Communism is Satan’s vehicle to destroy society and, ultimately, to destroy man.
MARX’S INFLUENCE
Almost like wildfire Marxist ideology has spread throughout the world. The cab ride to the train of communism is socialism. Where you see socialism begin, you will find communism as its destination. The very concept of progressivism must be understood as nothing more than socialism packaged by educated propagandists to deceive. An example of this is clearly seen in the book that became the Bible of the counterculture in 1959, Eros and Civilization, written by Herbert Marcuse. Marcuse would drastically change American education and culture. Marcuse studied under Martin Heidegger, who was one of the most important philosophers of the Leftist proto-postmodernist thinkers. Postmodernists basically claim to reject any grand narratives, including Christianity. Postmodernism relies on concrete experience over abstract principles, to which Christianity does not assay. Marcuse would use his persuasion as an intellectual to have his students focus on materialism through self-pleasure. He would persistently blame capitalism for crushing man’s capacity for critical thought and oppositional behavior. As an advocate for free love, sexual perversion, oppositional behavior, and reactionary thought, Marcuse became the intellectual father of the New Left.
When the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS)—a socialist, Left-thinking radical group growing on college campuses throughout the 1960s—began disrupting campuses and rioting in 1968, Marcuse was one of the few academics that supported their actions. The major thing that Marcuse supplied to the Left was intellectual legitimacy. The New Left began to be seen by the media and the nation as a serious intellectual people. Through gradualism, its adherents became imbedded in all the structures of society. Schools now indoctrinate students with ideology that promotes narcissism and selfishness to the extent that the more bizarre things become, the more the Left says it is the normal that society needs. Yes, it is simply communism fulfilling its outcome—make the people useful idiots to fulfill Satan’s plan to destroy man.
