“Mao barely knew the German philosopher Hegel, and had only a limited understanding of the concept of the dialectic which Marx had derived from Hegel. But his mind ran in the same channels as Hegel’s and Marx’s and Lenin’s, for all the vast difference in his cultural background. Like them, he saw a universe in which conflict was not temporary disharmony, but the esse — the supreme fact and law of existence. Mao said: ‘Balance, qualitative change and unity are absolute and permanent.’ ‘If there were not contradiction and no struggle, there would be no world, no progress, no life, there would be nothing at all.”
What did this mean for communism, his dream and his goal?
‘The universe, too, undergoes transformation, it is not eternal. Capitalism leads to socialism leads to communism, and communist society must still be transformed, it will also have a beginning and end…. Monkeys turned into men, mankind arose; in the end the whole human race will disappear, it may turn into something else, at that time the earth itself will also cease to exist. The earth must certainly be extinguished, the sun too will grow cold.’ – Mao
So, even a communist society must have its revolutions; and he, Mao Tse-Tung, the supreme revolution maker, would keep on making them.”

A few observations
1.) Note that a major foundation for Marxist thought is the idea of conflict of interests. This is what is taught with the Hegelian dialectic. Communist Revolution is never final. It always progresses to the next thing. This explains in the West the movement of accepting adultery, to accepting sodomy, to accepting Trannie-ism. It is how the progressive nature of Revolution works. Revolution is always restless and never complete. The result of one Revolution is the necessity of the next Revolution.
2.) This in turn underscore the Marxist core theme of always returning to chaos. Because the Marxist Revolutionary believes in the necessity of the conflict of interest there is a constant pursuit away from whatever order might initially be established and towards absolute chaos because it is the Marxist Revolutionary faith that out of chaos order comes. As such whenever any order is established in any society given to Marxist emphasis there will always be a vanguard who is pushing for chaos. This explains the constant rioting that we found in the “Black Lives Matter” movement and the whole George Floyd affair in Minneapolis. In a social order where there is an overwhelming presence of just a significant minority of Revolutionary Marxists there will always be a drive to chaos. The pursuit of chaos is in keeping with their religion.
3.) Notice how the biological presuppositions of Darwinism twined their way into social theory. This explains why Marx and Engels rejoiced to see Darwin’s book. They knew that once Darwinism was accepted in biology that Marxism would be accepted in social theory. Sociologist Herbert Spencer was the great mind that took biological Darwinism and translated it into a full world and life view through his writing.
4.) Only Christianity can put an end to Revolution making and the Marxist thought that drives it because, unlike Marxism, Christianity presupposes not a conflict of interest but a harmony of interest. Also, Christianity, unlike Revolutionary Marxist thought does not believe that man is just matter in motion. For the Marxist, because man is merely matter in motion, man has no significance and having no real significance man is something that can be slaughtered in order to make the better if indeed not perfect social order. After all, in the words of Stalin, “If you want to make an omelette you have to break a few eggs.” For the Marxist Revolutionary the individual man is of no consequence. Christianity challenges this and opposes Marxism because Christianity teaches that man is made as an image bearer of God.
5.) For Revolutionary Marxism the State / Party is God. “All within the state and nothing outside the state” is its Maxim. The State/Party thus becomes God walking on the earth. The Revolutionary Marxist understood that Christianity was his enemy because he was self aware enough to know that Christianity has always opposed, throughout its existence, any institutional structure that takes itself as the ultimate meaning maker. In order of Marxist Revolutionary thinking to gain traction real and serious Christianity and Christians must be wiped out.
