Mini-Summary: Marxism concerns wealth. God is dead, Darwin rules. The rich steal from the poor. Communist revolution will destroy capitalism, outlawing private property to establish paradise.
Founder:
German economist Karl Marx lived from 1818-1883
Terminology: "Marxism" is a synonym for communism, representing the legal outlawing of private property, delivering all goods to the state. Socialism is communism-lite, with government ownership of the creation and sale of goods and services, but private property is allowed
Overview: Marxists insist life is only about proper distribution of wealth. Only two classes matter: rich and poor.
"The theory of the Communists may be summed up in a single sentence:
Abolition of private property."
Psychology: Marx believed no "human nature" exists. Ergo,
persons are malleable for state use. People are not made in God's image. Instead, human life arose accidentally.(ATHIEST)
History: The Marxist view of history is fatalistic and magically
progressive.
Religion: Marx taught God doesn't exist. Marxism is a kind of reborn pagan Gnosticism. He claims modern liberalism seeks a heaven on earth, achieved via an elitist sect.
Economics: Marx struggled to develop a concise, positive economic model.
He preferred vilifying capitalism.
Government: Marx spoke favorably of democracy, but
called for dictatorship. The lack of natural law theory, or democracy means Marxist governments essentially revived classical paganism.
Openness to Dialogue:
Marxism is an ideology of pure secular dogma, hermetically sealed as any religious creed
Revolution: Marxism is a violently
revolutionary doctrine. Marx claimed capitalism's Armageddon was inevitable, but followers should bear arms to hasten change.
Neo-Marxist Innovations: As Lenin in Russia, and Mao in China launched Communist revolts, the prophesied global apocalypse seemed imminent.
The Frankfurt School were academic Marxists who escaped Frankfurt, Germany to avoid Hitler's wrath.
Relocated to the U.S., they successfully infused Marxism into American universities. For example, "Political Correctness" is a Frankfurt movement
Marxist theories now dominate Western universities. Movements like Race Theory, Feminism, Gay Rights, Modern Art, Critical Theory, Animal Rights, Gender Studies, abortion advocacy, Deconstruction, penal reform, Hate Crimes legislation, etc are all informed by Frankfurt scholarship. Redefined Marxism has produced spectacularly disruptive results. Some argue Obama's election is a direct result of cultural Marxism's success. Universal Health Care is another Marxist holy grail. The USSR had free medical treatment, notable for a staggering lack of basic supplies, horribly outdated methods, and horrifically filthy conditions.
Cloward-Piven Scheme for Planned Catastrophe: Ominously, in 1966, Columbia University scholars Richard Cloward and Frances Piven published a
theory outlining methods to destroy a healthy capitalist economy and force communist revolution. This eliminates capitalism by making impossible state budgetary demands, thereby bringing government insolvency.
The middle class will fall. Chronic inflation will result, causing America to lose its sterling credit rating. Global financial players must dump the dollar as it swan-dives. Then,
hyperinflation will accelerate, and the era of superpower America will end.
Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency.
The first American experiment in Marxism will not occur under Obama, William Bradford established the Massachusetts Plymouth Colony in 1620, using a charter creating a common granary.
After two years of socialist hardship and near starvation, the colonists opted for capitalism.
Given astonishingly murderous attempts by Lenin, Mao and Stalin to create the paradise Marxism offers but never delivers, we will not subject ourselves to the farce of the second-coming of an American economic, political and human rights disaster.
HOW DOES THIS APPLY TO US TODAY? EMMINENT DANGER IS UPON THIS COUNTRY AS E PROGRESS FOR THE SAKE OF OUR SHEEPISH LEADERSHIP TO FOLLOW A DOGMA WROUGHT IN THE OLDEST BIGGEST LIE TO HELP THE PEOPLE.
Today we are in the position that with very real questions about impossible deficits and skyrocketing taxes. Even the dead the government wants to tax with the death tax envoked in 2010.
"King George III may have taxed the colonies too much with his Stamp Act, thereby inspiring the history-changing American Revolution – but as oppressive as King George was, he did provide something in return for the taxes: military protection and a navy. … The question for taxpayers today is: Are things really any better? Have we traded King George for a series of homegrown despots?"
Remember the Marxist view of socialism remark by "Joe the Plumber" about just wanting to "spread the wealth.
Well the reality is that its here in this administration and the truth has come out: Obama's early work included programs that effectively nationalized car companies, banks, insurance companies and investment companies and this year he awarded a socialist, John Sweeney of the AFL-CIO, the nation's highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
