The Soul’s Master: Why Marxism Fails

In a sentence Socialism and inevitably Communism manifest the characteristics of chattel slavery. The theory underlying Marxism is a form of spiritual chattel slavery. It makes people property physically and spiritually. It is therefore ironic that those pushing it the hardest are those that speak out so vehemently against racism and the idea that any person should be subjugated or enslaved. Yet this is exactly what they are attempting to foist on the populous and their constituents. That means that (1) They are completely clueless to what they are promulgating or (2) They know exactly what they are doing and should be considered  threats to democracy and a free nation. Marxism promotes slavery of all to all. Government institutionalized and mandated slavery. Slowly the United States is slouching towards this bondage.

As history has shown, communism must either fail utterly or develop itself into a rigid system of slavery. There is no real middle ground here. It’s the myth of that holy grail of the ‘middle ground’ that modern adherents an proponents advertise as its redeeming attributes. The problem is that the middle ground doesn’t exist and nor can it. The progressives in society advocate for its full-blown institution but there ignorance of history and failure to understand true human nature leads them to a false conclusion.

The motives of self-interest and mutual compassion and real equality are discarded. In their place communism proposes that the society shall have all things common, that every person shall labor for the common end. Unfortunately, injustice and unfairness will allow those who do not contribute their share can still draw out a share. They get a portion of the pot even when they don’t deserve anything if they haven’t contributed communally to the pot. At its root these are economic philosophy not political ones. The politic drives the economic philosophy. The economics of course then keep the politics in power.

For Socialism and Communism to work the rule of the commune must literally be, “If any man will not work, neither shall he eat." This class of members, then, must either starve or be compelled to work. As we know this is just not the case as there is literally no incentive to work knowing you could be the one sponging off of the State and on the State’s dole like a financial junkie.

If they are to be compelled to work then by whom, by the community itself? The community is in theory a corporation; it can only act practically upon its members, through its officers. It is a theory of thorough equality. The compulsion which is exercised upon the many must be exercised upon all. The corporation therefore must be absolute in its title to dictate to each member how much labor he shall contribute, in order to be entitled to draw out his share of good. No incentive to work when others don’t contribute and force those that don’t work to work. One person is a slave to the another lazy person and the lazy person a slave to authority forcing their hand.

Once either of these individuals is allowed to decide that question, there will be an end of equity. Both will be resentful. Resent or anger therefore is an end of harmony. An end of harmony and unity of purpose is an end of plenty and ultimately a societal and authoritarian collapse. The bottom-line is that each member must be enslaved to the corporation in some way to make the system work. They must be enslaved to the individuals who wield the official power of the corporation who for all effective purposes stand outside the political system they rule. In essence ideological hypocrites, kleptocrats and slaveholders.

Therefore their political ideologies that they themselves live by can diverge greatly from the system they impose in the enslaved. The proverbial: What is for thee is not for me. Those elitist ideologies can range anywhere from Communism to Muslim caliphate as we see with Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar. We are already starting to see this dynamic in the political elitists in the Progressive Left and at times even in the elitist right which impose unconstitutional ruling and restraints on the masses through bogus laws. It is literally an institutionalization of socialism/communism through legislation.

In socialism and eventually communism we have a system of slavery far more grinding than the chattel slavery and bondage forced on African Americans in the 19th century. The officials or .01% in charge will capitalize financially whenever possible and live like aristocracy regardless of what they subjugate others with but officially they will own no right of property or their million of slaves. They’ll still have power and direction over them. Having no personal tie to these multitudes or millions will make them detached and callous. No empathy for the slaves in this system. Horrors and terrors will ensue and always have in history where no one is held morally or ethically accountable. In socialism and communism there is no God as they are fundamentally atheistic worldviews. No God no measure of right or wrong. Therefore everything and anything is permissible including wholesale slaughter based on the whims of the State. We saw this in 20th century China and the Soviet Union.

There will be no moral prompting to care for the welfare of slaves in an ethic-less corporate entity. Only profit for the good of the ‘Corporation’ is relevant. If we believe that corporate entities will look to the good or moral end of slaves, consumers or their workers we need only look at things like the tobacco industry or insurance companies. These types of companies are neither affected by affection towards their workers only their own self-interests which are primarily existence and that is driven by profit from labor. Cheaper the better, meaning the standard of living by default diminishes to a level playing field regardless of effort. Again we see no incentive to work hard or work at all.

In truth, in order to keep a civil government just and free, it should be endowed with as few powers and functions as possible. The ones that it should have are mostly, those regulations and law which are necessary to maintain social order and relative justice. All the other functions of civilized life should be left as much as possible to the individual and the family. Instead we have seen an overt invasion into people’s personal lives over the last 2 years due to COVID-19 and elected officials overstepp9ng their Constitutional authority and most of the courts are allowing it including the United States Supreme Court which is specifically in place to prevent a breach of the Constitutional contract with the American public.

An overbearing doting paternal government can never remain a free government. By directly imposing itself into so many powers and interests, it draws into its control too much influence to effect outcomes…including elections if people are not precautious. When this happens there are to many possibilities the institutionalized of the process to kept control of positions of power come to the advantage of those already in power. In other words, it becomes a de facto hostile takeover. Too many prizes prove to be too irresistible to overcome and those chosen quickly become those self-appointed. We move from inaugurations to coronations. It is human nature and that is why Socialism and Communism never work. The .01% become corrupted. It happens every single time in history and has never been any different. The success rate of diplomatic and democratic rule by an isolated few is 0%. Selfishness, ambition, greed and avarice always prove to great to overcome. Socialism and communism implode due to human foibles not due to theory. The theory is sound but the instigators and propagators of it are not. If we are honest, we would understand that Kingdom if God is a benevolent dictatorship/totalitarians state (Jesus). As long as man is in charge it fails. If God is in charge it succeeds...theocracy. That doesn't happen though until Thy Kingdom Come. Until then democracy is the best opinion if Jesus isn't actively leading everyone's hearts.

Due to human foibles, selfishness and ambition, socialism and communism corrupts and implodes from within. Due to human nature it distorts into numberless alternates, and becomes a gigantic engine of oppression to the people, under the pretence of paternity. The old joke being: “We’re the government, we’re here to help.” No, they’re only here to acquire more control. We only need look to the False Church and the myriad of breakaway denominations within the false churches. In particular, Liberation Theology and its subordinate theologies like Social Justice, Black theology and Queer theology for instance, Once the main branch diverges from truth…everything under it follows. So too economic and political theories.

Communism trajectory forces it to travel in a direction exactly opposite to this maxim of true and free statesmanship. That is because Communism trajectory forces it to travel in a direction exactly opposite God and Scripture. These false economic theories often misunderstand as political theories seek to replace the Kingdom of God with the Kingdom of Man without God. The theory believes that the Commonwealth of the State deserves all the indivudlas and resources of that State. It doesn’t just ask for the human and material resources but also the services and functions. Everything becomes universally the State. Your children are the State’s. Your futures, the State’s.The State therefore becomes the sole property owner, sole employer, sole overseer, sole slaveholder, sole distributer, sole family ruler, sole master and soul master. The State is God.

The corruption and vice, the cliques, the factions, the official employment and office-seeking will devolve into a form of sycophancy by individual and corporation alike. Those that do no align to the party ideology will be the oppressed. But wait…isn’t that what we are beginning to see in America now? Corruption pervades the highest offices of the land. We see shameless self-promotion to maintain offices by both Republicans and Democrats. There is a slave like sycophancy by the media that is more and more being controlled ideologically by one party or another? There is more of a prevalence to not only malign, slander or libel and opposing view but now an actual desire to punish dissenting view or literally attack and silence it?

Who would wish grow up in society under these extreme conditions? I believe the answer is self-evident and is already happening. The result would be the most iniquitous and cruel slavery ever witnessed on earth. Those that become the successful demagogues would be the masters, their subservient office-holders (the ideologically identical) in the States would be the slave-drivers, and the citizens would be the slaves regardless of race. The controlling State would justify that the Marxist theory would work based on smaller older successful communes among us by no means enslave their members; but whenever these deem the terms and rules of the society unsuitable, they are left free to withdraw.

We see this in religious cults such as the Amish and Mennotite traditions to a greater or lesser degree. Granted there are always attempts in these type of isolated religious communities at ‘guilting’ people into behavior to control them but there is always the option to leave even though it essentially means a form of anathema or excommunication. In a socialist or communist nation…there will be no escape hatch like this. Ask the former Soviet Union or Communist China. Had there been no Western world after the fall of the Berlin Wall where would these ‘escapees’ from Communism to go? They had America. What is America turns to full blown socialism or communism. Where do American’s go if we seed the rest of the world with this slavery?

The truth is that Social and later Communism seeks to make itself universal. It aims to possess all of the commonwealth, and to own all the citizens. The world inevitably can become the realm of the State. What if there are then no more alternatives to escape this philosophy? We then see a One World Government. A world ruled by and elitist, non-empathetic, power-hungry corporation. The only alternative to this slavery is absolute poverty outside the system with that system always seeking to assimilate you into it. Slavery or always on the lamb to avoid being controlled…a penalty or discontent only slightly less severe than that of crucifixion inflicted by pagan masters on slaves in the past. To either become part of the godless collective as a faceless entity or forever be viewed as a criminal at risk of persecution for not conforming. How is this any different than the persecution of the 1st century Christians? What should a Christian rightfully do? I think you know the answer. A man cannot serve two masters, only the Soul’s Master.
