Two Liberals are in a corner bar, drinking beer. Two Communists walk into the same bar and start drinking vodka. The Liberals and Communists start to talk. So, what do you have? Four Liberals…or four Communists. The only difference between them is the booze. So pay attention Liberals—while you believe you are promoting innovative open-minded tolerant ideas, you really are advocating for a dangerous societal system developed by these notable guys: Karl Marx and Vladimir Illich Lenin.
If you fully understand basic Communist principles, the correlation between Communism and Liberalism is undeniable. In fact, Liberalism is de facto Communism; reworked to conform to current notions of political correctness and counterfeit decorum.
Communist Economics: V.I. Lenin stated that a “Communist society means that everything—the land, the factories—is owned in common. Communism means working in common.” Additionally, the Political Dictionary defines “Socialism is the first phase of communism. The principle of socialism is: from each according to his own abilities, to each according to his work…Under communism, the basic principle of society will be: from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.”
Liberal Economics: Liberals promote a community theory in economics—by creating a classless society and deeming all people with the exact same rights. Liberals look down on the wealthy (i.e. the bourgeois) and attempt to force the wealthy to compensate for the ailments of the poor. A common Liberal quip is that it’s the wealthy who always receive the largest tax breaks. Well, common sense reveals that the wealthy pay the most in taxes so that when a tax break occurs they will naturally save a higher amount of money, but only because they are paying more in the first place. Liberals promote socialized healthcare and equal access and rights to all people regardless of any other factors. They endorse welfare and community programs that reward drug addicts and irresponsible parents. In the Liberal world, the wealthy are punished for the sake of rewarding the undeserving and complete government control is advocated in order to achieve the principles of communism.
Communist Theology: Communists rely on atheism and set up man as their one true god. To this scientific, materialistic, socialistic world outlook, God is considered an impediment, even an enemy. From Marx’s time to the present, Communists everywhere have vehemently denied the existence of God. Lenin stated that “Religion is opium for the people… a sort of spiritual booze.” For the Communist, a single dose of God decreases the revolutionary fervor necessary to exterminate the oppressing class (the bourgeois), thus causing the working class to forfeit their only chance of creating a truly human heaven on hearth: global communism. Karl Marx illustrated this belief by stating that “[m]an is the highest being for man…[t]he criticism of religion ends with the teaching that man is the highest being for man;” therefore, man is god. Even though the 1918 Constitution of the former U.S.S.R. and the 1936 Soviet Constitution guaranteed “freedom of religion,” religious people and church institutions were vehemently oppressed and annihilated.
Liberal Theology: Liberal theology, like Communist theology, promotes man as god. Additionally, Liberal theology promotes Atheistic ideas, albeit under the guise of a “feel good-hold hands-sing kumbaya” pretense. One specific tenant of liberal theology is that “all paths lead to God.” All Paths = Atheists, Satanists, Catholics, Agnostics, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Quakers and that God = whatever YOU want him/her/it to be; either man or a creation of man’s intellect. To reiterate, although there are different paths, all are equally valid and lead to the same ultimate destination. Liberal theology embraces a “classless” religion—where there are no absolutes and no certainties. Professor Gerd Ludemann reveals much about the true state of modern liberal theology. He observed that "One core doctrine after another has fallen by liberal denial—all in the name of salvaging the faith in the modern age. The game is now reaching its end stage. Having denied virtually every essential doctrine, the liberals are holding an empty bag. As Ludemann suggests, they should give up their claim on Christianity for the sake of honesty." Religion is whatever you want it to be; therefore making it nothing.
Communist Ethics: According to the Marxist dialectic, everything in the universe, including society, is in a state of flux or constant change. This change in society is a move upward towards the elimination of all social and economic class distinctions. Because social and economic statuses are, by Marx’s definition, always changing according to the laws of the dialectic, mankind’s ideas about morality must also be in a state of change. Hatred can be moral, according to the Marxist, as long as it is directed toward the proper institution, class, or enemy. According to Scientific Communism: A Glossary, “Devotion to the cause of the working class, collectivism, mutual aid, comradely solidarity, hatred toward the bourgeoisie and toward traitors to the common cause, internationalism, and stoicism in struggle are traits which not only define the content of proletarian ethics, but also characterize the moral image of the typical representatives of the working class.” Freedom can only be achieved when all class barriers are erased, and therefore anything that serves that end can be judged as moral.
Liberal Ethics: Liberal ethics is easily defined in one word: relativism. Liberals adamantly promote relativism, which basically consists of the idea that what is “good” means that which is “socially approved” by the majority in a given culture. Infanticide, for example, isn’t good or bad objectively; rather it is what is considered “good” in a society that approves of it, but bad in one that disapproves of it. Liberals view morality as a product of culture and conclude that there are no objective values. Like Communism, hatred for a specific group is moral, so long as it is directed towards the “right group.” Take Christians, the en vogue group that Liberals love to hate. This hatred is moral to the Liberals because it is aimed a group that puts limits on social behavior, relationships, and actions. Christians adhere to absolutes—like drawing the inference from “thou shall not kill” to mean abortion is wrong. Since it has been determined by Liberals that it is a woman’s right to choose to kill her baby, then it is moral to hate Christians who say otherwise.
Communist Sociology: Fredrick Engels declared that “[w]ith the transfer of the means of production into common ownership [communism], the single family ceases to be the economic unit of society…The care and education of the children becomes a public affair; society looks after all children alike, whether they are legitimate or not. Society determines the individual, until the free will of the individual is required to create a socialistic society. Karl Marx outlined that “[i]t is not the consciousness of men that determines there existence, but their social existence that determines their consciousness.” This removes all anxiety about the consequences which today is the most essential social-moral as well as economic-factor that prevents a girl from giving herself completely to the man she loves. Will not that suffice to bring about the gradual growth of unconstrained sexual intercourse and with it a more tolerant public opinion in regard to a maiden’s honor and a woman’s shame?” Therefore, Communist sociology promotes and encourages premarital sex and adultery, as long as it is done in a spirit of freedom and responsibility. In the People’s Education, it is outlined that “[t]he basic task of Communist education and overcoming the survival of religiousness in our present condition is to prove to the pupils the complete contrast and complete irreconcilability between science, the real and correct reflection of the objectively existing world in the consciousness of people—and religion as a fantastic, distorted, and consequently harmful reflection of the world in the consciousness of the people.”
Liberal Sociology: Like Communism, Liberals promote the demise of the traditional family unit, replacing it with gay marriage, gay adoption, no-fault divorce and single parent homes. Frederick Engels stated that the care and education of children is a public affair. Hilary Clinton affirmed this Communist principle by stating that “[i]t takes a village to raise a child.” Additionally, Liberals encourage premarital/extramarital sex via sex education (including junior high and high schools offering free condoms, birth control, and offering free child care), frequent availability and use of abortion, the promotion of Kinsean ideas, and personal autonomy (“if it feels good, do it”).
Communist Law: L.S. Jawitsch, a Marxist law theorist, writes, “There are no eternal, immutable principles of law.” The Marxist believes the working class is justified in ignoring modern capitalistic laws in their pursuit of equality. Howard Selsam stated that “Marxism, which has been so often accused of seeking to eliminate moral considerations from human life and history emphasizes rather the moral issues involved in every situation. It does so, however, not by standing on a false platform of absolute right, but by identifying itself with the real needs and interests of the workers and farmers.” Further, E.B. Pashukanis observed that “We [Communists] require that our legislation possess maximum elasticity. We cannot fetter ourselves by any sort of system.” Therefore, legal positivism is a theory that bases all legal truth on the decisions of the state and to which Communism adheres. As such, legal discrimination by the Marxist/Leninist party against any individual who disagrees with their political agenda should be relentless.
Liberal Law: “There are no eternal, immutable principles of law”—not just a Communist idea, but also a Liberal one. Liberals view the Constitution and laws as always changing and never absolute. Liberals view the Constitution as a living document, with its principles and rights constantly changing to include whatever they want—such as determining that the right to engage in sodomy is a fundamental right.
So, it is clear that proponents of Liberalism are merely Communist wolves in sheep’s clothing. Despite this alarming correlation, this synergy also raises several dangerous realities. So, here's the world under today's Liberals and yesterday's Communists.
1. They will make us immoral and irresponsible, reducing us to carnal instinct alone. There will be a complete dissolution and annihilation of the family and its role in the local and global community.
2. They will make us poor. Complete economic depletion. Do you realize that Liberals believe in redistribution of wealth from successful people to those on the very bottom rung of society? Do you want to be taxed, year after year, so that your hard-earned money falls into the hands of poor people and bureaucrats? Successful people should not be punished for being successful; it's this kind of thinking that creates hippie communes and shantytowns.
3. They will make us heathens. They use namby-pamby words like "social justice" and "equality", which are intended to confuse and weaken us. They say they want what's best for the world, and that this can only be achieved with a secular society that accepts all faiths and cultures. Ask yourselves, friends, how can they achieve a better world without the Christian God?
4. They will make us treasonous traitors. Remember, they really just hate America. They question our leaders and our values, they protest against our wars and they undermine our way of life. Who wants to kill babies? The liberals. Who would have left Saddam Hussein in power? The liberals. Who wants to cut military spending, and who sought to discredit our armed forces in the Middle East? The liberals. They won't be happy until we've been invaded and annexed as part of Europe. And where will we be then? (Aside from in Europe.)
5. They will make us as effective as a lost blind man with a road map. Liberals would rather sit and discuss problems than do something about them, and they would do anything to stay out of a conflict. This is because they are voluntarily guided by homosexuals and the French.
Such a comforting and promising reality under the Modern Liberalism! It's time for Christians and Conservatives to force Liberals to reveal what and who they really are...and to stop accepting their facade of sincerity.
