““Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.”

“The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.”

Sir Winston Churchill

At the heart of Marxism has always existed the drive for “equality.” Now, this equality, as it worked itself out beyond theory, ended up being redefined as “sameness,” as equality became redefined to mean “the destruction of economic distinctions.” The Marxist theory has always been that with the final dissolution of all economic classes and distinctions there would result the Utopian highlands where all men are both perfectly equal in abundant wealth and perfectly happy. The Marxist economic reality instead has always been that with the increasing dissolution of bourgeois class and economic distinctions the result has been a Dystopian nightmare where all men are perfectly the same in poverty and perfectly miserable. So, we see that in economic Marxism, whenever it has been pursued, the results, as Churchill put it, has been “the equal sharing of misery.” Marxism has, without fail, destroyed economic distinctions and delivered “equality” to the population but it has always been the equality of the damned.

However, this Marxist drive for economic equality that leads to the same economic misery for everyone wherever it is implemented has set up franchises in other disciplines. With the rise of Antonia Gramsci and then later the Frankfort school, Marxism has taken its equality show on the road. Gramsci insisted that the Utopia that all Marxist were reaching for would not be gained merely by the means of economic leveling. Gramsci insisted on, and the Frankfort school later implemented, a leveling effort that was to take place not only in the economic realm but in the broader culture as well.

And just as wherever economic Marxism has been pursued with vigor has resulted in the loss of economic distinctions and the reality of economic leveling so it has been the case that wherever cultural Marxism has been pursued there has been a loss in preexisting distinctions and a discovery of a leveling that leads to a miserable sameness.

Take the application of Gramscian Marxism as it has been brought to the realm of education. What we currently have in our government schools is basically the working out of economic Marxism as it applies to education. Just as with economic Marxism where there is the insistence that all distinctions of wealth must be eliminated so that people can be economically “equal” so there is, in our educational Marxism, the insistence that all intelligence distinctions are not fair and the demand is that everyone must be equally “smart.” And just as it is the case wherever economic Marxism is implemented the result is that everyone is equally poor so it is the case wherever educational Marxism is pursued, as it is in our government schools, the result is that everyone becomes equally dumb. The inherent virtue of Marxism, whether in economics or education, is the equal sharing of misery.

Now extend the example from the effects of methodological Marxism on economics and education to Western culture in general and you begin to understand why Western Culture is deteriorating so rapidly. Just as with economic and educational Marxism, which are subsets of cultural Marxism, cultural Marxism as a whole seeks to destroy distinctions, characterizing those distinctions as an “unequal sharing of blessings.” Cultural Marxism then markets fairness with unexamined 60 second sound bites and convinces a dumb people (see previous paragraph) that cultural distinctions are not fair. The result is the destruction of all distinctions which yields the happy highlands of a equal sharing of misery.

However we need to push and see the consequences of cultural Marxism as they work themselves out with an terrorizing consistency.

Remember, that what Cultural Marxism does is that it eliminates all distinctions in pursuit of its promise of Utopia. Also keep in mind that culture is defined as what a people believe as that belief is poured over their ethnicity. So, if Cultural Marxism must eliminate all distinctions in pursuit of its promise of Utopia distinctions that cultural Marxism must eliminate not only distinctions that one finds in economic status or intelligence strata but also Cultural Marxism must seek to eliminate the created order distinctions that exist between different faith systems, different ethnicity and even different sexuality. If economic Marxism ends up working to make everyone share in a equal and miserable impoverishment, and if educational Marxism ends up working to make everyone share in a equal and miserable stupidity, then Cultural Marxism, taken in it’s macro effect, seeks to make everyone share in a equal and miserable belief system (faith), works to make everyone share in a equal and miserable ethnicity, and works to make everyone share a equal and miserable sexuality. In order for cultural Marxism to be successful it must destroy distinctions in every aspect of mankind’s existence.

Given that this is the context that the Church of Jesus Christ now exists, her battle as the Church militant, is to stand against the cultural Marxist attempt to eliminate the God ordained distinctions and hierarchy. For those who need an explicit tie in to the Gospel we must keep before us that this drive to eliminate distinctions is at the same time a drive to take from the Lord Jesus Christ His distinction as the reigning sovereign of the Universe. For those who need an explicit tie in to the Gospel we must keep before us that this drive to eliminate distinctions is at the same time a drive to take from the Lord Jesus Christ his sui generis reality as the alone mediator between God and man. In the reality that cultural Marxism is trying to create all Messiahs, as well as all religions are equal because all Messiah and all religions are the same.

Because cultural Marxism is the false belief system that our age has embraced to oppose cultural Marxism involves us in the latest incarnation of the Battle between the seed of the Serpent and the seed of the woman. As such, for any expression of the Church to cast its lot with those who would erase God ordained distinctions (i.e. — Women Elders, Allah & God are the same, denial that people groups differ, etc.) puts them on the wrong side of the battle.

This whole Mosque argument is nothing but a episode out of The Outer Limits.

1.) As I follow this Mosque story it becomes quickly evident that pagans are self righteous whether on the left or on the right, and whether Jewish or Muslim. This self-righteousness is encapsulated in the contest of who is the greater victim or martyr. Who ever can prove they are the greater victim or martyr is the person who gets to be self-righteous.

2.) Many Americans are incensed at the idea of Muslims building a Mosque at the location where Muslims attacked their country but all indications are that most of them are perfectly fine with the same Mosque being built in Albany, Scranton, Toledo or anywhere else in America including elsewhere in New York City. This provides a great example of how Americans are a bunch of sentimental pietistic preacher types. Stopping a Mosque being built at ground zero because of sentimental symbolism while allowing Mosques to spring up all over the country makes as much sense as being on a diet while you’re around the refrigerator while your gorging yourself in the dining room.

Come on people, if the pagan Mosque doesn’t belong at the attack site because it is a sign of victory over the nation and it is disrespectful of the Americans who died on 9-11 then Mosques don’t belong at any site in the country for the same reasons. After all, it was American that died on 9-11, not merely citizens of New York.

3.) I heard a interview today of an American Jew and an American Muslim. The interview quickly descended into shouting and accusations from each of the interviewees whereupon they each accused the other of being “Jew-hater” and “Muslim-Hater” and “Nazi” and “Palestinian Baby killer.” As I listened to this interview I thought to myself, why in the world has America (a largely Christian nation) gotten itself in between the ancient hatreds of Jews and Muslims? Why don’t we develop our own energy resources and tell those people, with their ancient hatreds, to “eat sand.” Isn’t it preferable to throw them both out of this country rather than allow them to drag us into their bloodshed, recriminations, and pagan religions?

4.) Typically the left is siding with the Muslims on building the Mosque, but it is not really because the left likes Muslims. They don’t. The left is siding with the Muslims because the building of the Mosque is currently the nearest stick with which they can beat Christianity over the head. Does anyone really believe that if it was a Church they wanted to build next to ground zero that the Left would be screaming 1st amendment rights? No, the left wants the Mosque at ground zero because it serves to make the country less Christian. The left hates with a vampire hatred of Crosses Christianity and anything that will put a stake through the heart of Christianity in this nation the left will support.
