Marxism
built 642 days ago
Marxism, as well as being a system of martial arts... is a minor religion, though it is not recognized as such by any group or body, including the author and yourself. Its specific brand of religious teachings could be described in many ways, nearly all of which are incorrect. One way is as a sort of cross between pastafarianism and Liberache idolization. Most people who have very impressive surrounding degrees in exactly this sort of thing may disagree with the author on this point, but they only think this is wrong because The Man is feeding them lies.

Capitalism and Marxism were the two dominant economic systems during the 20th century. While people have generally seen these two systems as polar opposites, they actually have many similarities--as well as, of course, many differences.

On the political spectrum of Marxism, Trotskyists are considered to be on the left. They fervently support democracy, oppose political deals with the imperialist powers, and advocate a spreading of the revolution until it becomes global.

Marxism could only hang on to power in a totalitarian state where it controlled all information. It disintegrated in Eastern Europe and the USSR during the late 1980's, as the increased personal use of phones, PCs and photocopiers undermined its information monopoly.

Of all religions, secular and otherwise, that of Marxism has been by far the bloodiest ? bloodier than the Catholic Inquisition, the various Catholic crusades, and the Thirty Years War between Catholics and Protestants. In practice, Marxism has meant bloody terrorism, deadly purges, lethal prison camps and murderous forced labor, fatal deportations, man-made famines, extrajudicial executions and fraudulent show trials, outright mass murder and genocide.

The incomparable success of Marxism is due to the prospect it offers of fulfilling those dream-aspirations and dreams of vengeance which have been so deeply imbedded in the human soul from time immemorial. It promises a Paradise on earth, a Land of Hearts Desire full of happiness and enjoyment, andsweeter still to the losers in lifes gamehumiliation of all who are stronger and better than the multitude. Logic and reasoning, which might show the absurdity of such dreams of bliss and revenge, are to be thrust aside. . . . It is against Logic, against Science and against the activity of thought itself.
