Because it is ideologically ill-disposed to understand the motives that inform human nature, socialism's grasp of the human sciences is mortally flawed. Thus, politics, culture, history, and economics are viewed through a warped prism that distorts the full depth of reality. But even though it is an audaciously evangelical worldview that seeks to mold and explain the totality of the entire human condition using solely materialist terms, the socialist model is surprisingly resilient to critique. To be sure, to the Left it has attained the quality of a secular faith, and the altruistic moral philosophy undergirding the science of the collective is deemed untouchable. Yea, even while its stunning failures invariably bring down governments and consign its critics to either public humiliation or re-education camps for the commission of its own peculiar vintage of blasphemy, its penchant to evoke fanaticism remains unabated. For this catechism of flesh, which has shut the skies to supplication, the only entreaty left to political man is the golden calf of the Universal Homogenous State.
Had socialism’s prime article of faith, “The Heavenly City wrestled down to Earth,” not appealed to the transcendent longing in man for a temporal version of celestial happiness, it would have no doubt gone the way of all failed political schemes

Socialism is Satan’s vehicle for creating his own Eden. He doesn’t care that it doesn’t work because he wants an Eden of chaos, pain, and suffering.
That’s heaven for a sadist.
Spot on!

Excellent exegisis of the Gospel of Marx.
As I read this my heart soared. Whoever this writer is s/he has the words and heart to make me sing. Thank god for people seeing what I see like this. I am thrilled.
And to think my friends think I am evil for voting for Trump. Little do they understand what we know.
Very articulate and polished presentation. Bravo!
Now that we know that approx. 2/3 of anti-Trump
protestors and rioters didn’t even vote in the
presidential election, maybe those of us who did
vote should treat them with a civil indifference
because it’s legal and also because we don’t care.
All they have demonstrated is that they are not
willing and/or able to put as much into life as
they seem to expect to get out of tax-paying
American citizens.

Turned their backs on God again, but everybody longs for heaven...
bump for later
Yes we have known the left is delusional for quite some time. What is more disturbing is the delusions of the right. Ayn Rand, libertarianism, drug-advocacy, money-worship, Trump is the annointed one of God, etc. Once the right goes completely insane, there is no one opposing the delusional left.
“exegisis”
Good word. Hadn’t seen that for a while.
And THAT is why the fraudulent vote count continues and Soros pours money into ramping up the riots and chaos, so the herded masses of leftist victims/voters do not have moments of contemplation for their own pain and suffering caused by Soros and company agenda.
A more evil man alive on this planet would be hard to find ...
Personally, the 'strong delusion' reference is so deeply Biblical and tied to the Rapture and Great Tribulation that I cringe when a secular application of the phrase is attempted.
For later.
The Sadist in this case is Satan.
All his minions who believe they will rule with him in hell have bought into his lie.
The use of the term “strong delusion” in this article is not secular.
And it’s you know where for the rest of us. Yipes.

In every, single society Marxism has been tried, without exception it has failed and produced hardship and untold misery while stifling freedom.
And yet, diehard ideologues continue to embrace the Marxist fantasy with the lame and fantastical claim that ‘it’s never been done right’ - whatever that means, and it usually means whatever they want it to mean.
Nice, and not really mean at all. In fact, I think it’s totally benign!
