That is the salient point. Communists, Fascists, abortionists, hedonists, nihilists, etc. all reject the laws of God and teachings of Jesus because they seek to replace God and position themselves as the ultimate moral authority.
Yes, though people understand it in the biblical context.
(“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” - Ephesians 6:12)
I have believed for some time now that Hitler was demon-possessed. And that made him the evil spellbinder that he was.
That would be overly simplistic. Don’t forget East Germany called itself a Democratic Republic, as does North Korea.
Agreed. That it was overly simplistic was the point of my question.
At the time, Hitler claimed to be and was widely considered a man of the left. The main difference and split on the Left was between National Socialists such as Hitler, and Mussolini; and International Socialists such as Stalin. Hitler focused more on race; Stalin more on class.
Fascism has always been a movement of the Left. It is one of the great lies pedaled after WWII that Fascism is on the Right.
Possession doesn't have to be binary (i.e., all-the-way or nothing).
As Jordan Peterson said, all humans have the capacity under the right circumstances to become Nazi concentration camp guards (i.e., monsters).
People who think they are “above” such are ignoring the base weakness of human nature.

Indeed. The scolding mask Karens are just the first step down that road of being given authority and control over others.
In fact, most dictators who use communism are well-aware that the only thing the proletariats will share collectively is poverty.
Same for the BLMers, Antifas (Antifi?), and Wokesters.
I’d add that it’s hidden because it is being hidden.
National news media virtually ignored the horrors of the abortionist Kermit Gosnell’s crimes against women and children (reminder - 47 fetuses were found on his premises alone - some stuffed into toilets).
This was clear evidence of the evil in our midst and it was quietly dispensed with as an “anomaly”.
“The Holocaust was intended to eliminate moral inhibitions, thereby immunizing Germans against any reluctance they mighit feel about carrying out the rest of Hitler’s homicidal plans for Europe and the world.”

It is said that Hitler allowed the British Army to escape the continent of Europe and held off on an invasion of the British Isles because he viewed the British people as “kin” to his Master Race.
You are absolutely right!
The media will promote abortion ‘rights’ but they will never allow the product of ‘abortion’ to be shown.......ever
If people don’t see it, it doesn’t happen......
iow, a picture is worth a thousand words!
The first time ( as a teen) I saw Holocaust pictures I couldn’t compute this evil.
I said ....well this is just Hitler, , this is just Germany
But after our nation authorized the death of millions of babies......life became cheap and we see the product of that

I agree. Did you read Jonah Goldberg’s book on this? It seems like you may have.
Yes, I think that’s the argument—that his parents were Catholic, or raised him like one, or something. A weak argument since it assumes he had no free choice of his own. There was also a speech in which Hitler said “As a Christian...”, which is out of context because he was quoting the words of someone else.
Unfortunately it appears that Rausining’s supposed writings are complete fakes.
Exactly.
‘ From well before 1776 until the 2nd half of the 20th century the moral values of the United States were rooted in the Bible and it’s God’

The early Stalin was tossed out of a Georgian Orthodox seminary for getting a young woman pregnant - I think it was a nun.
