Barack & Marx: Why Revolution is the Only Game in Town
Kelly O’Connell / Canada Free Press
Much like DeQuincy’s autobiographical Confessions of an Opium Eater, a true Marxist is addicted to Revolution. Why? Because only through revolution can a liberal hope to overturn government enough to force his fellow citizens into embracing socialism. But why the desperate demand for all persons to acquiesce to communism? Because Marxism is a religion, and a violently missionary one, at that.
All history of Marxist movements proves this point. Further, Islam’s model of capitulate, or suffer, is a handy metaphor for leftism’s position. After all, no person should be allowed to live without suffering once the god has been rejected. Interestingly, madness and socialism have been the rule since Robert Owen’s 1825 New Harmony failed as the first socialist experiment.
Considering Barack’s rhetorical gifts, consider what his future would have held had he not stumbled into the snare of ideology. Given his talents of promotion and his historical moment, the Democrat party may have been able to build a permanent majority. Instead, Obama decided to worship directly his Marxist deity, scraping and bowing at the feet of his intellectual masters, and at every turn sabotaging America’s Democratic, Republican, and constitutional capitalist interests. Barack remains the Hawaiian Coleridge, fogged in the miasma of an intellectual opium den, madly clawing the Asiatic pipe for another blessed toke, continually chasing the dragon.
It is no accident that Engels stated, at Karl Marx’s graveside service,
For Marx was before all else a revolutionist. His real mission in life was to contribute, in one way or another, to the overthrow of capitalist society and of the state institutions which it had brought into being, to contribute to the liberation of the modern proletariat…
Today Americans, and indeed all Westerners struggle to understand the historic lack of leadership and statesmanship, let alone simple competence, emanating from Washington DC. Is it really possible the continual train wreck is accidental? Further, is it mere happenstance that every policy debacle seems to weaken the US in similar ways? Or is it not as obvious as the meaning of a Hallmark birthday card that all Obama decisions are meant to drive America down the communist rat hole, from which there is no escape?!!
I. Revolutionary Precursors
Buried somewhere in mankind’s deep past is the notion that humans must be forced into evolving. According to Melvin J. Lasky’s Utopia & Revolution, paradise was a destination long sought by the elites. For example, Christopher Columbus was convinced he had rediscovered the lost Paradise of the Garden of Eden on his voyages, at the Orinocco River, in modern day Venezuela. In fact, Columbus saw himself in messianic terms, chosen by God to spread the Gospel to the New World and help redeem the earth.
Lasky also describes how Italian abbot Joachim of Flora became a utopian model for many future leftists with his tripartite view of history. Flora believed that a future paradise was destined to be created by man on earth. Joachim’s vision, stripped of its religious pretensions, became the liberal goal for all future leftism, being the creation of paradise on earth. This helps explain how a religious sense came to haunt Marxism, especially as precursor Auguste Comte’s early socialist, scientific, humanist society designed as the Religion of Humanity, resembled nothing less than a godless Catholic Church.

James Harrington wrote about Utopia/Revolution as the only alternative to tyranny.
http://www.BooksbyOliver.com is precisely about the 2nd American Revolution and what is coming next. It’s a must read & I do recommend it for decent Americans who want their freedoms back.
Great article to face the fact that….it’s no longer what Americans want (someone else to retrieve their freedoms) to what Americans now have to do (take a stand).
