A book report on; THE DEVIL & KARL MARX:
“Communism's Long March of Death, Deception, and Infiltration,” by Paul Kengor.
In my effort to apply the will of God, through the search of scripture, I also like to compare the word of God with the writings of men, and women. Often, when these men, and women have had their understanding, and world view effected by reliance on the Holy Spirit, these writers may help us to gain a fuller understanding of spiritual matters.
In like manner, a study of the antithesis of these wholesome writers can give needed contrast to these spiritual matters. In the pursuit of spiritual clarification of political forces, and their spiritual underpinnings, I have just finished the expose on Karl Marx, “The Devil and Karl Marx: Communism's Long March of Death, Deception, and Infiltration.”

“If Karl Marx might have erred his way into one insight of value for understanding this damnable mess, maybe that was it. Our duty must be to struggle against those hellish vapors, to not breathe them in. We must battle against and expose the powers of darkness that continue to pervade this modern world.” Kengor, Paul. The Devil and Karl Marx: Communism's Long March of Death, Deception, and Infiltration (p. 402). TAN Books. Kindle Edition.”
This is an illuminating, though disturbing book that helps define the worldly inspiration of so many of the societal pitfalls of modernity.
Karl Marx was, and his writings continue to be a force of Satan, tearing at the resolve of anyone that will entertain his depravity, intended to "deliver them" from the salvation, so freely provided by our loving God, through faith in the mighty works of His only begotten son, Jesus Christ.
Marx, and his disciples, are proud to consider themselves, anti-Christ, and we should consider this the basis of any fruits of Marxism; democratic socialism, democracy, (rule by the majority, or mob,) the sexual revolution, critical race theory, and the like. All of these ideologies have been the direct, or indirect result of Marxist ideology.
It is not to say that Karl Marx was the originator of this ideology, rather he was the benefactor, and apostle of these godless beliefs, which proceeded from the “mind” of Satan in rebellion against the Most High, God.
In the Bible we learn that Lucifer, the angel of light, rebelled against his creator, God. As God’s just reward for this rebellion, he was renamed, Satan, the devil, and banished from the presence of God, to the earth. On earth, Satan, as well as everything else was put under the authority of Adam, and his helpmeet, Eve.
Having this said, let’s consider how Lucifer might have come to this plight. What was it that caused him to fall from glory? Was it not pride rising up in him to exalt himself above his creator? He wanted to be his own god.
(For the purposes of this essay, I will not drag out the Bible references, but if anyone should like me to do so, please let me know. I will gladly look them up for anyone that has trouble finding them for themself.)
Returning to the state, and position of Satan at the time of Adam and Eve’s presence in the Garden of Eden, Satan, also called the serpent, was under their authority. He had no ability to demand submission from these children of the living God. As the spiritual head, authorized by God, over His creation, Adam was in authority over Satan, not the other way around.
In Gen. 3:1 ff, the serpent questioned God’s commandment, (also questioning His authority.) He then, after Eve corrupted God’s commandment by adding to it, stated the opposite of Gods commandment, (calling God a liar, and solidifying himself as the true LIAR, and the “father of lies.”) He then accused God of ulterior motives, (that which the devil was actively guilty of.)
What was the motive of Satan in this record? Was it not further rebellion against God? Was he not attempting to bring the same condemnation for them that he had already secured for himself, and was he not successful? Satan promised one thing, and delivered the opposite. We find that Marxism, in all of its forms, repeats this formula every time it is embraced.
After these occurrences, God banished them from the Garden of Eden, and cursed the ground, as well as child birth for Adam, Eve, and their descendants. Satan had secured similar judgement on them as for himself.
Through a study of Marx, by way of this book, it is clear to me that Marx hated God, and by extension those that did not hate God. This is not my opinion, he stated it often, vocally, as well as in writing. He had a special contempt for those that loved God.
Though I am not aware that he ever claimed to be in favor of anarchy, his writings did claim to seek the destruction of all authority, and governance. He wanted to destroy all that was, so that utopia could be built upon the rubble.
As Vladimir Lenin later determined, Marx never did say how to govern, once the foundation of all that was had been destroyed. The hellish “utopia” that resulted reigned death and destruction upon millions of people, for many decades, and if our media, academia, and the Democrat Party have their way, we in America are headed for a similar plight.
It is my goal to expose not only the light, (that which the Bible teaches as truth,) but the darkness, (that which is the result of rebellion, and rejection of that truth.)
I hope that you will help me, and join in the praise, and worship of God, through the resistance of the devil, his tactics, and his minions.
God bless you, Dave
