It’s not about race. It’s about socialism (communism) vs freedom. America is not a communist country. Those who wish to live under communist rule should move to Russia. Oops, they’re no longer communist. China? Nope. Going capitalist. Maybe Cuba? They’re still communist (but possibly about to give up the ghost). Same as Vietnam. Ah, Venezuela. Now there’s a place where the true face of communism really shines.

It’s about socialism (communism) vs freedom.

And what, at the heart is what motivates these isms against freedom? Whittaker Chambers writes that their power . .

. . . is the power to hold convictions and act upon them. It is the same power that moves mountains; it is also that part of mankind which has recovered the power to live or die – to bear witness – for its faith. And it is a simple, rational faith that inspires men to live or die for it.

It is not new. It is, in fact, man's second oldest faith. Its promise was whispered in the first days of the Creation under the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil: "Ye shall be as gods." It is the great alternative faith of mankind. Like all great faiths, its force derives from a simple vision. Other ages have had great visions. They have always been different version of the same vision: the vision of God and man's relationship to God. The communist vision is the vision of Man without God.
