From Marxās
Communist Manifesto, along with other writings, are a few key principles:
- Communism seeks āto abolish the present state of things.ā
- Communist goals can be achieved āonly by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions.ā
- Communists will support all kinds of revolutionary movements as long as they work against the existing social and political order.
- A fruitful communist tactic is the āruthless criticism of all that exists.ā
- Marx loves the quote from Goetheās Faust: āEverything that exists deserves to perish.ā
- In Marxās essay declaring that religion is āthe opium of the people,ā he asserted that āthe criticism of religion is the beginning of all criticism.ā
You might observe that these sentiments are perfectly in sync with Satanās desire to overthrow God, destroy His image-bearers, and tear down everything good in creation.
A lot of people
(especially secular conservatives in this thread) donāt recognize Marxismās war against all of us today, because they think of it in the 19th century terms in which Karl Marx developed it ā economic war between the working class and the property-holding elites.
By the mid-20th century, communist āintellectualsā recognized that the economics of communism had failed completely, and so they shifted to the cultural and the sexual.
But the vision never changed ā
destroy Christianity, destroy morality, persecute Christians, and corrupt the society so severely that it cannot recover. From Satanās point of view in the spiritual realm, harden the culture so thoroughly that the Gospel will be despised and no one would consider becoming a Christian.
The Devil wants to populate Hell with as many image-bearers as possible.
