Marxists' False Promises

  Part 3 of 4

     Seventh, Marxists promise freedom and security to those who join their cause, yet wealth is stolen from others. Security exists only for those at the top of the pyramid. In other words, everyone is equally miserable under Marxism except for the jackbooted leaders who profit from the spoils acquired from their legalized theft. Jackbooted: military boot, ruthlessly and violently oppressive. 

     For proof, examine the misery index of folks in China, Cuba, Iran, North Korea and Russia. 

     Eighth, it's puzzling why Marxists who reside in free societies lack the courage to move to the autocratic societies they admire. Autocratic: Ruling with unlimited authority. Is it because they don't even believe the mantras they keep repeating, or do they want to have their cake and eat it, too? Mantras: Sacred counsel or formula. 

     They denounce the blessings of free enterprise and liberty at the same time as they partake of them. Unfortunately, they have taken their blessings for granted. Do they really want to transform the United States into a dysfunctional nation that has constant shortages of goods and services." 

     Ninth, Marxism promotes the darker facets of human nature rather than its nobler strivings. Facets: subjects. Marxists turn lies into the truth and truth into lies. They oppose the arts, constructive creativity and innovation, and constantly push monolithic groupthink instead of critical thinking. Monolithic: a massive single unit. In other words, Marxism is extremely boring and lacks a sense of humor.

Marxist Socialism

  Continuing where we left off with realities...

     Fourth, Marxists compete with one another to see who's the best liar as they deceive the vulnerable who might believe promises that are too good to be true. Marxists use deception as a means to control the masses and keep them on their heels. 

     They talk a good game about socialism as a paradise on earth yet do everything they can to turn that alleged nirvana into a hell on earth.  

     Fifth, Marxism is the arbitrary system built on a foundation of contradictions. Arbitrary: Depending on individual discretion not law. Not restrained in exercise of power. 

     It can hand out some goodies but just as easily withdraw them.  Marxists believe they can alter laws whenever they feel the urge, thus using raw power to confuse and divide people and consolidate power in the hands of a few. Arbitrary laws can hinder people from advancing economically and can also create insecurity. 

     Sixth, for an ideology that claims that it will usher in equality, Marxism certainly is fixated on economic class, color, gender and race. Apparently, some are more equal than others. Instead of equal opportunity, Marxists favor the equity of prearranged outcomes. Equity: Justice according to natural law. 

     Many Marxist spokespeople are educated academics who pretend victimhood and fear competition in the real world...yet believe they are smarter than everyone else. They have learned nothing about good citizenship and wisdom, while displaying a commonsense deficit. Marxists envy folks who keep their noses to the grindstone and lash out at those who possess discipline, deferred gratification and a healthy work ethic.

God bless as you worship Him today.

12 Realities of Marxist Socialism 

    by Christian Milord

     "First, Marxism was founded on the concept of atheism (disbelief in God). It attempts to dismantle the Judeo-Christian faith that has been an anchor of civilization for thousands of years and helps people to navigate life's challenges. 

     "Marxists also oppose the traditional family, the building block of any culture. In every life category, intact families are far more successful than broken families.

     "Second, Marxist policies encourage folks to be intellectually and physically lazy as they rely on bureaucratic government for all their needs. This reliance generates an entitlement mentality that expects others to supply the needs of those who refuse to accept personal responsibility. 

     "Minimal effort is applied to studying and working, yet the 'entitled' expect to earn high salaries regardless of the effort they put forth.

     "Third, Marxists are quite generous with money confiscated from job creators, but they are stingy with their own money. However, most of the money and possessions seized by Marxist leaders end up with their cronies and are not redistributed to the lower income workers they claim to be helping. The hypocrisy is staggering."

We suggest printing these blogs on Marxism

to keep them in mind through the election and beyond. 

Realities of Marxist Socialism 

     Not today, but we have for Monday viewpoints by Christian Milord, an educator, mentor and writer in California. 

     What's up? Milord this week updated his commentary of 2025, regarding collectivism, communism, progressivism and socialism. We found his "viewpoint" in THE EPOCH TIMES, which we read daily. 

     Commentary 

     "In a free society that embraces free markets and the rule of law, young people must be made aware of the 'fuzzy and warm' nature of Marxist iterations." 

     Milord uses some words that required us to dust off our dictionary. Iterations mean repeating to get a desired result. 

     His 12 Glaring Realities of Marxist Socialism is so compelling we just have to share it with you who haven't already read it. We want our families and friends to live the American dream, don't we? Even though it isn't perfect. No one is perfect. You noticed how many socialists, progressives etc. won Democratic primaries. 

     The Democratic Party is now communist, or close to it, like Cuba. We don't know what normal Democrats might do. But we can't pin our hopes this year or next...or whenever...on politicians who care more about themselves than you and me. 

                                     Remember, Monday

        

Our Sins, Like Scarlet 

     It's a picture of being stained with blood. 

     We try to "bleach" our lives with church attendance and good deeds. But under heaven's light, the stain remains. We cannot self-clean sin. 

     Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. - Hebrews 9:22. The Jewish people understood that. Sacrifice. But the blood of bulls and goats could never erase the stain.  

The Blood of Jesus 

     It doesn't lighten the stain. It replaces it, if we believe. His blood covers our guilt, our stain. We are purchased, cleansed. We are not our own. We are bought with the very blood of Jesus. 

     There is no conference or self-help book - worthy though they may be - just the blood. That's why we value communion, to remind us of what Jesus did for us. 

     Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. - Isaiah 1:18. 

Thank you, pastor

     

 Happiest Surprise Ever 

     An evening church service. January 1987. When it ends, the man goes to his car, opens the door...and is flooded with joy he never knew existed. He drives to his apartment, laughing and crying and pounding his steering wheel. Monday: Office employees see the new man. Joyful emotion lasts three weeks. He replaces his faith...with FAITH! He was not done with Psalms. 

I will exalt you Lord, for you lifted me out of the depth. - Psalm 30:1 

O Lord my God; I called you for help, and you healed me. - Psalm 30:2 

     Never again could this father live with his children. Years after their experiments in life, each one and their dad all live in different states. They visit him.   

You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy. - Psalm 30:11-12 

I rejoice in your love, for you knew the anguish of my soul. -  Psalm 31:7

The Lord is close to the broken hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. - Psalm 34:18. 

When I am old and gray, do not forsake me, O God, till I declare your power to the next generation. - Psalm 71:18 

     He is old and gray, 40 years later.

When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul. - Psalm 94:19.

He turned his ear to me; I will call on him as long as I live. - Psalm 116:2 

I waited patiently. He heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit. He set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. - Psalm 40:1-2 

      No need for another wife. Later on, a Christian woman called her Christian sister 60 miles south. That led to another Christian woman and the man meeting each other at a restaurant. Not a date. After 3-hours of talk, mostly about faith, each went home. No thoughts. 

     He crawled into bed. God spoke silently into his mind: 

I have reserved her for your wife. 

😉

His Life Crumbles

     To continue supporting the family, he accepts a job 60 miles from home. His kids - he loves deeply - don't want to leave their friends. His wife wants a divorce. He dives even deeper into his Bible. 

How long must I wrestle with my thoughts? - Psalm 13:2.

I acknowledged my (lifelong) sins. - Psalm 32:5

I cried out to God for help. When I was in distress I sought the Lord. My soul refused to be comforted. My spirit grew faint. - Psalm 77:1-3

Hear my prayer O Lord. Let my cry for help come to you. Don't hide your face from me when I am in distress. - Psalm 102:1-2. 

     He begins to lose weight. 

The cords of death entangled me. The anguish of the grave came upon me. I was overcome by trouble and sorrow. - Psalm 116:3-4

Because he loves me, says the Lord, I will rescue him. For he acknowledges my name. He will call upon me and I will answer him. With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation. - Psalm 91:14-18

     More than two months ending 1986, the man searched God's word. He has not heard from Father God. Christmas Day was hardest. 

😒 

What might 1987 bring?
