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.

DIRTY LITTLE SECRETS: THE TRUTH ABOUT KARL MARX, ADAM WEISHAUPT, ILLUMINISM, AND BIG BANKING
