“The whole gospel of Karl Marx can be summed up in a single sentence,” argued economics journalist Henry Hazlitt long ago:
“Hate the man who is better off than you are.”
Continued Hazlitt:
Never under any circumstances admit that his success may be due to his own efforts, to the productive contribution he has made to the whole community. Always attribute his success to the exploitation, the cheating, the more or less open robbery of others. Never under any circumstances admit that your own failure may be owing to your own weakness, or that the failure of anyone else may be due to his own defects, to his laziness, incompetence, improvidence or simple stupidity.
“Hate the man who is better off than you are…”
History is a detailed diary of this very hatred…
The French Revolution, Russia’s Bolshevik Revolution, China’s Cultural Revolution — perhaps America’s unfolding cultural revolution of its own.
We cite but some examples.
They all set out to correct wrongs. But they mostly end up stripping rights.
The right to life itself is often among them.
Today we study the acid emotions of jealousy… and envy.

Has logic ever plunged a man into love… or into war?
Has logic ever written a poem… or elected a president of the United States?
Has logic ever torn down a statue?

Thus the Liberal phrase, “You didn’t build that!”
If you are against slavery, you should be against marxism.
Marxism has enslaved more people than anything else.
Marxism enslaves entire countries.
Easier to strip the middle class and make them poor rather than to build the poor and make them middleclass
God knew this sin would always be among us. He referred to it in the 10th commandment, “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”

Yup,that boils it right down.
Cain and Able comes to mind. God’s word has significant warning.
#ProgressivismIsTheRealPandemic
James 3:16, KJV: “For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.”
I was going to quote that one too. Scripture warns us against envy, which is the basis for all Marxism.
