    How Progressives Think: 

    The Origins of American Hegelian/Marxist Liberal Thought,

    It has been a common reaction to the ills of Capitalism to jump ship and embrace Communism. Call it what you may, socialism, Marxism, Leninism…it is all communism built on the idea of a collective society all living in unison as one. We lock arms and sing together, “We are the world,” as we seek to erase all animosity and cultural differences we possess. Capitalism is the ruination of society. It breeds greed. Under Communism, there is equity and collective purpose.

    I would defy anyone with any intellectual capacity to show a society that has thrived under Communistic rule, under the “collective,” where Hegelian/Marxist principles have been applied in practice. The first attempt we know of here in the United States was found in New Harmony, Indiana, led by Hegelian Collectivist Robert Owen. It was established as a Utopian society filled with artists, poets, and intellectuals. Conventional American views were rejected, Christianity despised, and the idea of God was rejected. This was man’s society, man’s world, and in this world, everything is subjected to extreme criticism; everything must justify its existence before the judgment seat of human reason or cease to exist. In man’s world, the reason is the sole measure of everything.

    All old ideas are to be thrown on the trash heap and disregarded. Everything must be turned upside down, according to Hegel. The past only deserves to be pitied and lamented. Government and tradition are each contemptuous. Eternal truth, eternal right, equity and equality based on Nature and the inalienable rights of man was all that mattered. These rights and equities were to be defined by whom? God? No. The state. Robert Owen set out to verify the truth of these things.

    Owen, a wealthy man with fantastical ideas, provided New Harmony with all the essentials he could imagine. With the rejection of God, and all biblical precepts, there was no basis for a central covenant to bind the community in spirit. Without God, there was no foundation for establishing a moral society or government. They all longed for ‘freedom’ and a desire for Utopia. As we have recognized through documented, historical facts, such efforts are centered on one individual’s idea of what should be and what could be. Marxism is based on the ideas and concepts of Karl Marx. Taoism on the wisdom of Lao Dun, and National Socialism on thoughts of Adolph Hitler. The collective works so long as the individuals agree to submit and obey the one in charge. This being the case, you have, by nature, an authoritarian regime led by a totalitarian – dictator. You have a tyrannical, cynical, selfish man in place of a gracious, merciful, and loving God. The collective favor the elite and wealthy and seeks to eliminate the ‘middle class. God grants grace and mercy to all with the call to come.

    This is the historical path that these ideas lead us down. It was not different under the rule of Joseph Stalin as it was under Robert Owen. The principles were and are the same.

    New Harmony lasted less than three years, ending in confusion, arguments, laziness, and the rise of personality. Funny…this is precisely what is seen under a capitalist society, only the people in the free market pay their own way.

    There is only one way to truly unite, but men manage to reject this – they constantly throw God to the curb and seek to show the rest of us just how resourceful and self-reliant man can be. Thinking themselves to be wise, they prove themselves to be fools. The years have passed, and times have changed. Men and their foolish ways have not.

  • #60 - Controlling the Narrative - Gaslighting the American Citizen

    There is a great deal of activity afoot that you and I are not aware of. The Biden Administration is gaslighting the American public in a way that is frightening and dangerous. His key players are solidifying ties with the CCP and other Marxist groups in order to bring about their preferred America. While we are watching activity in Ukraine, they are giving way to China, formalizing trade, deepening financial ties, building intimate relations with key CCP leaders, selling them fuel from our Strategic Fuel Supply which is depleting our energy supply while strengthening the CCP.

    Also, they are seeking the assistance of various Marxist organizations (This truly sounds deeply sinister, doesn’t it? To soften the terminology, the media calls these groups “far-left”, democratic socialist, or simply, the liberal left. This is how stringently they are controlling the narrative. The title “Marxist” indicates the ideology this administration seeks to install as the governing principles by which they will govern the United States. It is the proper term to describe who they are and what they are doing. Typically, when this title is assigned, the media begins to cry, “Conspiracy theory,” or “Tin-foil hats,” or “Hate group rantings”. We must be clear on who we are dealing with when attempting to ferret out the evil that has corrupted our nation.  If you cannot recognize the enemy, and I do say enemy as a succinct title that is appropriate, how can you oppose them?

    Tsun Zu stated in his book, The Art of War: 

    ·         If you know the enemy and yourself, your victory will not be doubted.”

    • If you understand your strengths and efficiency and those of your enemy, you can realistically compare the two and predict the likelihood of victory during conflicts.

    Recognize this: 

    Fear

    The Democrats thrive when fear is rampant. Fear is a major component of their method of governing. They know that fear can be an attractive political instrument for hiding motives. It evokes irrational actions, such as locking down the public and shuttering businesses, even bring about a collapse to a thriving economy. What would all this lead to? A clamoring from the citizenry for greater provision to be provided by the government. Governmental dependence.

    Division

    The Democrats focus on creating divisions among the people. Conflict brings anger and foments hatred of the status quo. They do not promote peace but a blinding discord that is totally irrational. They do not promote debate and discussion. They are aiming at you, not trying to convince you but to force you into a position of acceptance of their policies and principles. This is a totalitarian position that is presently embraced by the Democratic Party. 

    Critical Race Theory is a principle being implemented in our public schools. Begun through the Marxist efforts of W.E.B. DuBois and followed by Derek Bell and Barack Obama, this is teaching banned from any governmental body primarily because of its racist platform, and the division is bred. The Democrats lifted the ban the first day Biden came into office.

    America is not and never has been a racist nation. It was not founded on racist principles. Slavery was not initiated and invented by the Founding Fathers. It has been around since the book of Genesis. You do not hear Black Lives Matter speaking about slavery and oppression in foreign countries where slavery is alive and well. Nobody in this administration or Obama’s regime tried to speak to the Chinese human rights violations, using slave labor to feed their economy. Why? Check out the big Chinese marketing arm in America: Walmart, Lowes, Home Depot, Amazon, Tractor Supply, and virtually every retail operation in America.

    You do not bite the hand that feeds you. Do not offend the money men in church! Obama and Biden know this very well. Trump did not attend that class
