[@maddevil7474]

I gotta say that after learning about Gnosticism and gnosis that you sort of seem like you seem like you are a bit of a gnostic guru yourself with your support of a new Liberalism that only you know the correct way to go about. Still love you and your work though. Just don’t fall for the gnostic trap albeit in a different way because you are surrounded by a bunch of people who are using you to push something that is going to ultimately turn into its own gnostic system. Just remember that these people can dismantle anything and reassemble it as auxiliary to their thing. That is literally their gnosis. That any idea that manifests in the public mind is already part of their own gnosiological system because any idea that manifests in such a way literally cannot exist apart from it. All things converge unto the undifferentiated all.

[@AHyperMedia]

James : it gets boring .. because you are unsurprisingly mono-sided: please surprise us and give insights in where socialism/communism/marxism(s) may be righteous, good and not wrong! because there is something to find: that's why it's so widespread, so easy to catch up by millions of normal (non-evil) people everywhere ! think it through your are pounding one end of a steel rod its getting stintered up already !-- besides this I love you and 110% on your arguments side :!🖖

Great insight: These people are not just wrong but evil.

[@ChristineMeyer-hs9rg]

Yes and if you gave a name to that evil religion it would be Satanism would it not? They can dress it up and justify it however they like - it's still anti human and anti life and what we Christians call anti Christ. Demonic in essence.

[@VictorSneller]

It's abstruse to a lot of people, but I appreciate you going into these fine-grained distinctions. People forget the strains of Progressivism that went into the Nazi party. It was a confluence of all the world's worst ideas. The incentive for these activists to do what they do is that if there ever is a revolution there's a chance they'll be the faction on top and can win it all.

[@Ubu987]

People miss the esoteric stew that was the essence of Nazism. They were literally psycho-hippies!

The biggest problem that I see with all of these ideologies is that they fundamentally misunderstand the necessity for conflict in the growth and betterment of an organism. We are not meant to always live in harmony and peace with each other, evolution is a process that requires conflict to drive creatures to improve and overcome the conflict. All of the greatest innovations of mankind have been the result of competition whether this means Wars or competition between rival businesses. We need cooperation and competition in equal measure. If we have too much of either one things go wrong

Excellent lecture. Mr Lindsay is a brilliant mind (with great sense of humor) who ACTUALLY calls it what it is and may I say exactly what I've been warbing people about for years... Because I always look at CUI BONO and what are the always repeating patterns under different names. I grew up in(West) Germany with osrents who lived through the second, and grandparents who lived through BOTH World Wars. I always lived history and the use of language, how patterns repeat and how methods are adapted to the same end. I'm fortunate that my osrents encouraged reading above all. Thank you for this 👏👏👏

The World Economic Forums vision for the western world, is one of Global Socialism. Countries will still have different names, but they'll have the same laws and class structure; being that there will be a filthy rich minority, and a struggling majority, with no middle class. Christianity will be discouraged, while Islam pandered to(or at least until western culture is eroded away). Small business will be rare, and most people employed in large WOKE corporations or by the government.

[@elichabassol5238]

Perhaps their first mistake was thinking they knew what was best for everyone.

[@zxyatiywariii8]

Ikr, it's a narcissistic ideology, which is why it keeps bubbling up, like the noxious gasses emanating from a cadaver underwater as it decays. I'm old enough to remember 1991, when it seemed to many people (myself included, unfortunately) that the fall of the Soviet Union had _FINALLY_ proven -- to the majority of people -- that communism on a nationwide scale (let alone internationally!) will always end up in death and mass destruction. Unfortunately, there will always be narcissistic people, and whenever a narcissist has sufficient charisma, he or she will be able to attract desperate people with the belief he or she can create utopia.

[@Doutsoldome]

Yeah... but the "best for everyone" may be a cover for "best for me," rooted in jealousy and envy.

[@ChristineMeyer-hs9rg]

A sex and death cult does not aim for what is best in any way shape or form.

The Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts were written at a time when Marx was still using Hegelian language and synthesizing Feuerbach's materialism with it. 20-30 years after that is when he wrote Das Kaptial.

May this note find us all ever closer to God, and His Peace. As I dive deeper into the theology of Traditional (pre-Modernist) Catholicism I find a grounding in Thomism and Nature Law that brings clarity to the insanity of Descartes and afterward's 'philosophy' that much of them seem to scrap-crawl for the Clarity and sanity that they Rejected in Thomism and Natural Law, and much of Catholic Apologetics. But haven Fallen and Pride is a block to Return. Much of the insanity, the unTruth, inJustice, disOrdering, .. evil of Communism sits on those irrational philosophies, and the disrespect and debasing of the person, family, Joy, Love, .. reflects it. Our now Sick Society injects self-loathing crippling to us all - more suffering into those that would excel best - so all peoples are forced into least levels - all equal. On later reflection to my mind-enslavement by Commie University learning in humanities courses (1980-1990s) I realized it was purposely missing aspects for manipulation and directed ignorance. Two simple examples are; Intro to Philosophy intro course removed Thomas Aquinas and Natural Law to instead present modernist unTruth, inJustice, disOrder, irrational filled perspective, AND in Medical Ethics which presented a wide range of essays on Abortion (and more topics) but never presented essays on the damage to rational thought personally and society of accepting from crib accepting baby-killing on whim of mothers, and the damage to our thinking faculties. A good video overview of the Communism Sickness that filled all gov, corp., institutions, Churches, .., how we got here; "The 45 Goals of Communism - Are We Facing This Now?" kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYucZJifhN2oZtU Good stuff.

Is there more available literature about the communist dream society "The Kingdom of Liberty". Their Shāngdū or Eden?

"God is this . . ." "No, God is so much more than that . . ." "No, God is even more than that, that we can't even begin to imagine what God is, only what God is not," etc. Each vying for the ultimate definition of God.

A meta-organism is not the same concept as an organism. Humanity as a meta-organism is defined as a humanity that is capable of working together as a unit towards a common goal, for instance to solve an existential crisis, such as an incoming asteroid. A non unitary humanity would be stymied by conflicts, in which some groups would be striving towards preventing its impact, but others would strive to ensure that the astroid would kill us all.

All political systems have the transformational qualities of a religion. That's how new ideas and ways of relating to each other and the world come about, no? Also, fascism can be understood in terms of a unifying state narrative arising at times of instability and cultural decline. They key is the psychology. Namely, collectivism taps into our notorious herd instincts, splits us in two and takes us into a mass psychosis.

29:52 "They want to tell the story of history from its end-point, which they believe that they know. Imagine believing that you know how all of history is supposed to work out." Shouldn't be too difficult for a predominantly Christian country to imagine. Isn't that the gist of the Book of Revelation?

[@atwarwithdust]

“All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, enjoying the favor of all people.” - Book of Acts: Chapter 2, Verses 42-47 “I honestly cannot imagine how anyone who takes the teachings of Christ seriously, and who is willing to listen to those teachings with a good will and an open mind, can fail to see that in the late modern world something like socialism is the only possible way of embodying Christian love in concrete political practices. I have heard American Christians claim - based on a distinction unknown in the New Testament - that Christ calls his followers only to acts of private largesse, not to support for public policies that provide for the common welfare. What they imagine Christ was doing in publicly denouncing the unjust economic and social practice of his day I cannot guess.” - David Bentley Hart, 2020 “It is worth noting that Abraham Lincoln warmly welcomed the support of Karl Marx during the Civil War and corresponded with him freely. Our irrational obsessive anti-communism has led us into too many quagmires to be retained as if it were a mode of scientific thinking.” - Reverend Martin Luther King Jr, commemorating the 100th birthday of WEB Du Bois, 1968 “The barbarous despotism of the collective Tsardom which reigns in Moscow can be taken to be as irrelevant to the question of the moral substance of Marxism as the life of the Borgia pope was to that of the moral substance of Christianity.” - Alasdair MacIntyre, ‘After Virtue’, 1981 “Ideas may not change, but emphasis shifts constantly. It could be claimed, for example, that the most important part of Marx’s theory is contained in the saying: ‘Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also’. But before Marx developed it, what force had that saying had? Who had paid any attention to it? Who had inferred from it - what it certainly implies - that laws, religions and moral codes are all a superstructure built over existing property relations? It was Christ, according to the Gospel, who uttered the text, but it was Marx who brought it to life. And ever since he did so the motives of politicians, priests, judges, moralists and millionaires have been under the deepest suspicion - which, of course, is why they hate him so much.” - George Orwell, ‘As I Please’, 1944

[@johnwright1447]

Lindsay says Marxism is a syncretic religion. Such religions borrow from other religions. Marxism borrows heavily from the Book of Revelation. The Socialist Utopia is the New Jerusalem. The World Revolution is the Battle of Armageddon. Marx is his own messiah.
