The Cure for Socialism

The world is in upheaval as the old cultures that built modern civilization succumb to socialism. Nobody knows where it will take us as we watch helplessly the implosion of our Anglo-centric structures.

The plain-sight goal of hegemonic progressives is to collectivize property and people into a global pool of nobody-nothingness, while middle-class private ownership (responsible self-sufficiency) and the existence of meaningful persons shrink toward zero.

Socialism is often mistakenly reduced to an economic construct, or to one of its scientific sub-theories such as Marxism or communism. However, in its essence, it is a spiritual condition with a structural narrative that can be summarized as follows:

A chosen people are called to destroy the old world and liberate society from its cultural captivity, ushering in a new Golden Age.

This is achieved through the abolition of private property and family, hostility toward religion, and a general push for commonality or “sameness,” which is mischaracterized as “equality.”

The underlying motivation behind socialism is a loss of faith in a person’s intrinsic worth and a bitter spiritual craving for its destruction and death. It is an inevitable result of a humanist-existentialist view of human origins and existence.

Perhaps because he spent his life within the stranglehold of the USSR, Igor Shafarevich’s thesis on socialism failed to make a religious connection with socialism’s inherent nihilism. However, from a Christian perspective, socialism becomes comprehensible, and even curable.

Socialism as viewed within a Christian context becomes the antithesis of Christianity. To use the word in its broad sense, socialism is a form of anti-Christ.

It is clearly so in an ontological sense, given that Christology is about creation, life, and love of humanity, whereas socialism seeks destruction, death, and the collapse of humanity.

It can be said in brief that socialism is Judeo-Christianity devoid of God. Take the King James Bible and remove all references to God, then re-imagine it with mankind at the center.

It immediately means that The Bible becomes a “pragmatic work”, that can be corrupted as the writer sees fit. Stories and parables turned on their heads, with morals removed or reversed.

One of the more literate efforts to do this was by Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 – 1882). And Emerson ran with it. You can see in his works extreme corruptions of The Bible, as well as environmental extremism still seen today.

He was profoundly anti-civilization and saw a need to restore nature by eliminating vast numbers of people, reducing mankind to living as they did in early colonial days, in isolated villages in borderline starvation, with their itinerant “masters”, that he called “Orphic Poets”, going around from settlement to settlement, *preventing* technological development.

For which these debased peasants were supposed to be grateful to their masters.

Truly, religion without God is a blueprint for evil.

But Russia is rebuilding its churches. Must have figured out that atheism doesn’t work.

Partner, they discovered that Palestinians were not around during the same time as Jesus Christ was walking that Sacred Land.

In fact, it took about 700 years before the so called Palestinians showed up.
