Karl Marx: “The theory of Communism may be summed up in one sentence: Abolish all private property.”
Recent Breitbart headline: “Zohran Mamdanin Pushes for ‘Abolition of Private Property’”
Well, of course, the commies are already here; Marxism dominates the Democratic Party now, so Mamdani’s call for the abolition of private property is not surprising in the least. But that’s just my conclusion. Let me share with you some quotes from Karl Marx, and then you can decide if, or to what extent, his communist theory has infiltrated and/or taken over the Democratic Party. All the quotes below are from Marx. I’m going to provide these quotes without comment; you, the reader, can decide for yourself how well these ideas describe the current Democratic Party.
1. “My object is to dethrone God and destroy capitalism.”
2. “Take away a nation’s heritage and they are more easily persuaded.”
3. “Keep people from their history and they are easily controlled.”
4. “The education of all children, from the moment that they can get along without a mother’s care, shall be in state institutions.”
5. “Communism begins where atheism begins.”
6. “We have no compassion and we ask no compassion from you. When our turn comes, we shall not make excuses for the terror.”
7. “The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism.”
8. “The first requisite for the happiness of the people is the abolition of religion.”
9. “A heavy or progressive or graduated income tax is necessary for the proper development of Communism.”
10. “Communism abolishes eternal truths, it abolishes all religion, and all morality, instead of constituting them on a new basis; it therefore acts in contradiction to all past historical experience.”
11. “As socialism grows, religion will disappear. Its disappearance must be done by social development, in which education must play a part.”
That’s a sampling. More could be added, but this article can’t be a book. A wise person can either already perceive the above ideas deeply embedded in the Democratic Party, or certainly, they are in germ form. All of the above, of course, can easily be detected and demonstrated from countries (e.g., the USSR, China, Cuba, North Korea, etc.) that accepted and applied Marx’s doctrine in the 20th century. There is no reason to believe that the Marxists in the Democratic Party won’t do the same things if given the total power they crave.
Richard Wurmbrand was a Romanian pastor who spent 14 years tortured for his faith in a communist prison camp. Thus, he experienced Marxism, not just theorized about it. He wrote, “There is no support for the view that Marx entertained lofty social ideals about helping mankind. Marx hated any notion of God or gods. He determined to be the man who would kick out God.” Read quote number 1 above again for the theoretical verification of what Marxists actually practice. The Democratic Party’s current hatred of Christians, Jews, and all things religious (they don’t like Muslims, either, but currently find them useful because of their opposition to Judaism and Christianity) is a clear manifestation of this Marxist dogma.
Let’s try to understand a little bit more about Marxism and its origins, thus the underlying foundation of the modern Democratic Party. Very few people comprehend this; I suspect 99.9% of the people who vote for Democrats have no clue about it (and probably wouldn’t care). But it’s important; as Marx implied (quotes 2 and 3 above), historical ignorance is very helpful to propagate his theory.
The great basic thought of George Wilhelm Frederich Hegel, borrowed by Marx and his companion Frederck Engels, was “the world is not to be comprehended as a complex of ready-made things, but as a complex of processes.” Not stable, unchanging verities and virtues, but an ever-evolving “process.” Once this central notion of Marxian dialectics is grasped, we realize that, to Marxists, there are no “final” solutions, nothing fixed, absolute, eternally true, or right or wrong. There are no eternal truths in Marxism—hence, it’s hatred of religion. Each stage [of the historical “process”] is necessary and therefore justified by the time and conditions to which it owes its origin.
When new, higher conditions develop, the old things lose their validity and justification. Nothing is forever “normal.” Again, for it [dialectical philosophy, i.e., Marxism], nothing is final, absolute, or sacred. Historical justification is thus the only justification for determining “normal” or “weird,” “right” or “wrong.” Even slavery and incest (and capitalism) were considered to be historically justified—“normal”—at given stages of history.
It's an ever-evolving process with no fixed, absolute truths.
Marx owed much of this, not only to Hegel, but also to Charles Darwin, to whom Marx wanted to dedicate one volume of his massive tome, Capital. Evolutionary theory (which Marx saw as the “scientific” basis for his “scientific socialism”) obviously fits Marx’s theory nicely—everything is evolving, changing, in flux, nothing is final or absolute.
So, how do we define true “normality?” Man, a million years ago, was a knuckle-dragging, hairy ape-like creature. What was “normal” back then? Man is what he is today. Surely what was “normal” a million years ago isn’t “normal” today. And what will man be like a million years from now? No one knows because, by definition, naturalistic evolution is random and directionless. Thus, clearly, what is “normal” today probably won’t be “normal” to whatever “humanity” is a million years from now.
Therefore, putting tampons in boys’ bathrooms and having XY chromosomed humans beating up XX chromosomed humans isn’t “weird” to people who believe in the ever-evolving Marxian ethics and morality. It’s only weird to J. D. Vance and his ilk.
That’s Marxism, folks. That’s Zohran Mamdani, Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, AOC—that is the underlying philosophy of the Democratic Party. And we can see it in action, in many ways. They are coming. They are already here. We need to be prepared.
