A Look at Capitalism, Socialism, Marxism, Fascism, and Communism

Posted on by

For a long time now, I have wanted to write a blog on these isms. Some of them are hard to understand, because they are so diverse and obscure. And they seem to collide with each other; for instance, it seems that Marxism and Communism are almost the same. And, in addition to just being able to understand them, I have a growing concern for knowing why some people, esp. fascist leaders seem to be so infatuated with socialism and communism—like Putin. Why does he love it so much?

Well anyway, I intend here to take these isms one at a time, get their definitions and meanings, and then also to show their differences. Then I will attempt to show the digression of movement from one ism to another, starting with capitalism and ending with communism. Then last, I hope to tell you why I think some people, especially fascists are so drawn to Communism.

Capitalism is an economic system by which private ownership is the means of production. Capitalism, more than any other system provides personal incentives for investments and economic growth; and it also will make one feel good with a sense of pride in his achievements.

Capitalism like no other system has biblical support. We see this most in the creation account, where humans are made in God’s image, and therefore are given a creation mandate and to make the earth productive. Likewise, Scripture affirms the validity of private property rights, of entrepreneurship, and of achieving personal wealth by wise production skills.

Socialism is a system that is based on government ownership of all property, and the means of production (such as the raw materials, tools, factories, and labor) are also owned and controlled by the state.

I think socialists would say that the good of this system is that it draws people together to work together in order to meet individual need. And they would also say that it provides that all people will be cared for and all will share in the profits equally. Likewise, all people they say, will be paid the same regardless of what skills they have.

Marxism was named after Karl Marx. It is a system and a theory that encourages the working class of capitalism to rise up and rebel against their capitalist bosses in order to overturn capitalism in favor of communism. According to Marx, every society is divided into social classes and conflict is necessary between the classes, which will eventually result in the glorious classless communism.

Communism is much like socialism but it goes further. In communism there is no individual freedom. Everything is controlled and owned by the state. Its goal is to produce a classless society.

Fascism is a system with a party and a government led by a dictator. Hitler as well as Mussolini and Lenin were fascists. They ruled by forcefully and violently suppressing any opposition, and they controlled all industry and commerce by force. They often used racism and slavery to control people.

Knowing the differences?

I think we can see that capitalism is the most godly and best system if not abused. That is, it is a good system if the bosses will pay the workers what they deserve and if they do not get power hungry.

Socialism, though they try to be fair to everyone, is a system without freedom and personal incentive—which may result in unhappiness and depression. Socialism may be considered a middle stage in the transition from capitalism to communism.

Marxism is also in the middle between capitalism and communism. It revolts against capitalism in order to achieve communism. Also, in many ways it is like socialism. It is actually a revolutionary socialism, which is energized by fascism (like Mussolini). Likewise, the Nazis were socialists, extreme socialists, pushed along by an extreme fascist leader, Hitler.

Communism is regarded as a classless society; however, I think there are so many negatives: there is no personal freedom, no incentive to work, and are always fearful of authority. 

Why are some people so drawn to socialism and communism?

It is easy to see why some people are drawn to socialism. It is because they think they will be better cared for—free healthcare, free education, etc. But, for those who think this way, they are deceived. And they are taken in because they are lazy. They haven’t learned the value of work and taking pride in their work. They would rather depend on the government to feed and clothe them and to tell them what to do.

I’m not sure why people are drawn to communism. Perhaps they think it will be like a utopian society. But that will not happen until Christ comes; and people should know that a communist leader will always be a cruel fascist.

And the only reason why leaders like Putin love communism is because they are hungry for power and control. Look at what he is doing now. He has been plotting to capture Ukraine for years. Why? Maybe he just likes the hilly country. Or maybe he just likes the feeling of having power over people. It is all very sick and selfish. Certainly, he is not thinking of anyone besides himself. He is very antichrist-like.

Our Border is Being Overwhelmed by Design

It’s so sad what is happening at the southern border. But it isn’t by Biden’s incompetence. It is by an evil socialist design. The design is written out for us in this article: The Cloward-Piven Strategy: Orchestrating A Crisis So Government Can “Solve” It, Posted on July 6, 2018.

You can read the article for yourself, but I will give you their four steps:

 The four steps of the Cloward-Piven Strategy:

  1. Overload and Break the System
  2. Have Chaos Ensue
  3. Take Control in the Chaos
  4. Implement Socialism and Communism through Government Force

Mark Levin interviewed Tom Homan who confirmed the evil plot. Here is the article:

Here is the interview of Tom Homan on The Life Liberty and Lavin show:

President Biden “sold out” America to progressives in order to be elected president, former Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Acting Director Tom Homan told “Life, Liberty & Levin” in an interview airing Sunday.

Host Mark Levin posited to Homan that the Biden administration’s strategy in dealing with the surge of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border is “overwhelm the system, break the system, then blame the system and take control.”

“You’re correct,” Homan responded. “The Biden administration is still trying to blame President Trump for what’s going on the border right now. They’re ignoring the fact that — I don’t care if you love President Trump or hate him — you cannot deny the fact that he gave us the most secure border in my career, which is almost thirty-five years. 

“I started in 1984 as a Border Patrol agent,” Homan added. “I spent my entire career on border enforcement, immigration enforcement, and President Trump got it right. He had unprecedented success on that border.”

Homan went on to explain that Trump “understood that 90% of the Central Americans that come to our border to claim asylum never get relief from U.S. courts. They simply don’t qualify. That data’s easily available on the Department of Justice website; anybody can look at it.

“I doubt President Biden has looked at it or [DHS Secretary] Alejandro Mayorkas has looked at it, because if they did, then they’re facilitating immigration fraud on the border.”

Homan recalled that during Barack Obama’s second term, when Biden was vice president and Mayorkas was deputy homeland security secretary, “we built detention facilities, thousands of them. We held people long enough to see a judge. We let ICE remove them and we took away the enticements.”

Now, however, “Joe Biden has sold out this country to the progressive left to win an election,” Homan claimed. “He’s a different person … Alejandro Mayorkas is a different person.”

As a result, Homan concluded, migrants detained at the border are being released “as soon as they can, within three days. ICE has been decapitated. They lost 90% of their authority. They’re not executing judges’ orders, and we keep throwing out more enticements.

“This isn’t incompetence. This is by design. This is an open borders agenda that we all knew was coming.”

Moving Toward A Different America: More Transgenderism, Less Christianity

Posted on by

I was listening to a conversation between Newt Gingrich and Tucker Carlson today, and the question came up as to why Biden and the Democrats want to hurt America, because everything the Dems want will hurt this country in measurable ways. For instance, why are they letting in illegals without any health checks? Many of them would or have tested positive for covid-19; we know that. Newt Gingrich said that they want a different America, that they despise America the way it is. They want an America with more transgenderism and with less Christianity. They want a socialist America, not a capitalistic America.

It sounds to me that they want to spend lots of money on whatever they want, like more marijuana, etc. And it sure seems like America (and the World) is sinking into what it once was before the flood, when “every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually” (Gen. 6:5). And with all the emphasis on the welcoming in of transgenders and the LGBTQ’s, America is becoming more like Sodom and Gomorrah, and like what we see in Romans 1, where God gives man over to his degrading passion or homosexuality, and how his mind becomes depraved. Yes, I see that before long, if America does not repent of its sins, we will collapse just as Rome did.

I also see from Bible prophecy, that the world will merge into globalism. That means that every country must give up its individualism. We are hearing now from the voices of the Great Reset and from Big Tech. Yes, they are now working toward a one world government and also toward a single religion for all. Then soon the Antichrist will come into view and all the tribulation that follows.

So, if this globalism is coming soon for the world, then we know why America is giving up its autonomy and its Christianity and its freedoms (I am speaking in the sense of following Bible prophecy).

However, lets pray that many will choose to repent of sins and follow Christ. The time is short and we wait expectantly for His coming.

The Great Reset Is Coming Fast

Posted on by

There is so much talk lately about the Great Reset. It has been in the works for many years; but now, with so much lawlessness, the riots, Covid-19, and voter fraud, it seems to be coming fast. In this blog post I will present my information from two sources: first, from an article by Klaus Schwab, the founder of the World Economic Forum; secondly, by a Jan Markell interview with two Bible prophecy experts, pastor Billy Crone and pastor Brandon Holthaus.

I. From an article by Klaus Schwab: Now is the time for a ‘great reset’

Klaus Schwab is the founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum, which I would say is one of the main promoters and architect of the great reset. Here, in six points, is his promotion of this great reset:

1. Klaus Schwab wants to “reset the world.”

2. Schwab says, “In every crisis there is an opportunity [for the reset].”

3. He said, “We can emerge from this crisis [Covid-19] a better world, if we act quickly and jointly.” (My words: Obviously, he is a globalist, not a nationalist.)

4. Schwab said, “We could be facing the worst depression since the 1930’s. To achieve a better outcome, we need to act quickly to revamp all aspects of our societies and economies. Everything must be transformed. We need a great reset.” (Italics for emphasis)

5. Schwab said, “We must build entirely new foundations for our economic and social systems.”

6. Schwab gives these three components to the great reset (shortened and summarized in my words).

  • Governments to improve coordination: in taxes, trade, reforms, new rules. (you see the global initiative here)
  • Ensure that investments advance shared goals: like building green urban infrastructures and improving the environment.
  • Harness the innovations of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. To address health and social challenges –therapeutics, vaccines, testing centers. (sounds like they are anticipating more viruses)

II. From Jan Markell’s Interview entitled, Antichrist Kingdom Rising (Part 1)

The following information is from my notes of this online radio interview. I will present it in four main points with subpoints.

What is the Great Reset and how will it work?

  1. It is a master plan for global control that was unveiled in Switzerland.
  2. The plan consists of tearing down all old systems and building one new global system. You may see now part of the tear down plan in the works, such as…
    • Lawlessness and riots
    • Covid-19 (which may have been purposely planned in order to make people fearful in order to confuse and better control them)
    • Voter fraud (all in the plan to get rid of Donald Trump, who has been a great hindrance to the global plan)
  3. A new world Order in which all nations and governments work together.
    • A global currency
    • Global viruses and vaccines
  4. New leadership
    • Elitist from all over the world will come together to make plans: people like Bill Gates, Dr. Fouche, Klaus Swab and George Soros
    • The UN and groups like the World Economic Forum will try to take control
    • The U. S. Democrats along with the media will be involved
    • Biden and Harris will play their part as puppets
    • Ultimately, one world leader will take control: The Antichrist
  5. How the reset plan will work
    • Basically, the plan is to control the world of people through fear, using such things as man made viruses and wearing masks and shut downs (and it has thus far worked pretty good).
    • To establish new credit ID’s
    • Global wealth distribution
    • Universal health care
    • Basic housing
    • Merging man with machine

The Church

Unfortunately, most of the church is in the dark as to what is going on, because pastors refuse to learn and teach their people anything about Bible prophecy. Much of the blame should go to the Seminaries and bible colleges, most of which are a-millennial.

Voter Fraud

It has been going on for decades in Communist countries, and now it is here in America. I think it will continue to be used by the globalists in order to control the nations and all people. It recently has been used to stop Donald Trump and his hold on America. Soon we will see America join the socialists of the world and be connected to world power and the Antichrist. 

Vaccines

Governments won’t force vaccines on the people. We will instead see big businesses forcing it. We have already heard, mainly from Israel, that people won’t be able to buy anything from stores, or go anywhere by planes unless they are marked with the vaccine. These new vaccines aren’t like any normal vaccine. They will modify your DNA. It is a genetic modification technology. It could be a permanent change in your DNA. And it will somehow mark you so that scanners will know if you have taken the vaccine or not. Also, another element of the vaccine is called hydrogel, or nano-technology (little robots inside your body), which will connect you to artificial technology.

If this all sound scary, it is (but I am not sure I believe it entirely as Billy Crone has described it). But the Christian doesn’t have to worry anyway, because I think we will be gone, raptured by that time—which may be very soon. Yes, if this new vaccine does what I have just described, maybe that means the rapture is very very soon. But even if it is delayed, I still am not too worried, and I probably will get the vaccine along with everybody else. God will protect me until He comes.

Things that must be defeated in order to save America

I’ve been reading Live Free or Die, by Sean Hannity. I’m only half way through the second chapter, but already there has been plenty to think about. Here are…

A List of Radical, Left-Wing Policies and Ideas That Must Be Defeated in Order to Save America From Certain Doom

  • That we need to place our faith in big government.
  • That evil results from an imperfect social system.
  • That certain elite people can advance mankind toward societal perfection.
  • Obamas appointment of activist, liberal judges.
  • Obamas unconstitutional executive orders
  • Obamas downsizing the military (that has so far been remedied)
  • Obamas world apologizing tour of America
  • Waging war on coal and coal miners (being remedied)
  • Haranguing the cops (still going on)
  • Conferring legal status on many illegal aliens
  • Democrats becoming the party of socialism
  • Democrats becoming the party of open boarders
  • Democrats becoming the party of sanctuary cities
  • Democrats becoming the party of the elimination of ICE
  • Democrats becoming the party of underfunding the military
  • Democrats becoming the party of abortion on demand
  • Democrats becoming the party of infanticide
  • Democrats becoming the party of environmental extremism
  • Democrats becoming the party of gun confiscation
  • Democrats becoming the party of higher taxes
  • Democrats becoming the party of radical identity politics
  • Democrats becoming the party of suppression of free speech and religious expression
  • Democrats becoming the party of anti-Semitism
  • Democrats becoming the party of intolerance, smears, lies, character assassinations, and the Russian dossier.
  • Democrats becoming the party that is obsessed with their hatred of President Trump and his supporters.
  • Democrats becoming the party that has abandoned any sense of fundamental decency, fairness, or common sense.

It is looking pretty bleak, and getting worse all the time, especially in the democrat party. Much of it has been reversed by the present administration, but just surface things—like the economy. There is still so much to do, especially toward getting our country back to believing in God. That duty falls on each Christian. The President can enact policies, but unless we do our duty as Christians the country will fall very quickly.

Why So Much Rioting?

Posted on by

We saw the riots start just a few days after George Floyd was killed by Derek Chauvin, a bad cop in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It began by protest marches, protesting abusive policeman against black people. Almost immediately Black Lives Matter got involved and then also members of Antifa arrived from many locations and paid by rich people like George Soros and others. But BLM and Antifa are not the only groups involved. There are many others.

Where did these radical groups get their start? What is their belief system, and what motivates them?  I suppose many are motivated by money, a lot of it. They work as professionals. And I suppose they are trained and educated too, but I don’t know where. I do know that they (the main trailblazers) have been around for a long time, as long as Communism has been around. They have had a plan for Russia, Cuba, China, North Korea, Vietnam, and the latest is Venezuela. And they also have a plan for the United States. And now it is happening. All the riots you see is part of it. It’s the tear down part. They plan to tear down everything: property, businesses, our system of law, our government, our families, everything.  And they plan to replace it with socialism, or Communism.

And what do they say is their belief system? Well, they say it is righteousness and justice for all. But you need to know that it is not true justice. They call it social justice. It sounds good, but it’s not. It is far different than true justice. True justice is a justice for each individual, measured by God’s righteous standard, according to His righteous law. But social justice is measured according to the ideas of socialism. It is a system that distributes all wealth and property evenly to all people no matter how hard they work for it. And that redistribution is done by force; all people will be forced to conform to societies demands. There is no individualism. All are the same. And there is no family as we know it, and no personal God. All is done for the state and for the good of all. I suppose in some way it may sound good, at least unifying; but as we know from how it is in Communist countries, it just doesn’t work and is very depressive—without freedom or individualism.

But what about those who demonstrate, who do it because they truly do care about black lives and about building a less abusive police department and a safer neighborhood? Well, I think there are many in that group, but unfortunately, most of them are being deceived and used and overrun by the radicals in BLM and Antifa and other groups who are rioting only for the cause of Marxism. And they are using African Americans to do their dirty work. And sadly, all rioters in the end will find themselves enslaved to the devil and guilty.

I want to urge anyone reading this to just stop rioting and submit yourself to God and to His holy word. Let the past go. Learn to forgive and move on. Believe that the system (our constitution) we have is good and was established by God and good men and women who believed God. And if one of your people is killed, pray for that family and for the one who killed him, and then commit it to God and to our system of law. Never take revenge into your own hands. God said, “vengeance is mine.” In the end all who are guilty will be punished.

BLM: Marxist, Misguided, Liars

Posted on by

Not only is the organization BLM and its founders Marxists and Communists, there is something seriously wrong with their thinking. They are liars and delusional. The group BLM does not really care about black people’s lives; they are only using a few cases of police shootings to stir up their power base and build up their socialist agenda.

In BLM website they write: “

BlackLivesMatter was founded in 2013 in response to the acquittal of Trayvon Martin’s murderer.

However, there was no murder. It was found that the shooting was in self-defense. And you may note that in all of their writings they will always reject the law’s conclusions and insist on their own opinions without evidence.

In BLM website they write that their…

Mission is to eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on Black communities by the state and vigilantes.

But there is no white supremacy in this country—except for a few pockets of it here and there. I personally don’t see it anywhere.

In BLM website they say they…

Are working for a world where Black lives are no longer systematically and intentionally targeted for demise.

That’s just a lie. Where do they get that? What world are they living in? There is something seriously wrong with their thinking, and by making those radical, lying statement they are not only deluding themselves but they are feeding misinformation to black people everywhere. In fact, by their lies they are making matters much worse for black people; they are bringing more fear into their lives, and it is not helpful to them at all. Most white people, including policemen, love black people, and all black people need to know that.

Most importantly, black people, and all people, need to know that God loves us; and if we know that, and come to experience His love, we will see all fear vanish from our lives.

Why Are People Talking About White Privilege?

Posted on by
1

I keep hearing the term “white privilege.” I think some people may be suggesting that rich white people need to do more to help the poor black people, or even to somehow make it so that no one is poor anymore. I don’t think that is possible. Even Jesus said, “The poor you will always have with you…” (Mark 14:7). I’m sure Jesus didn’t like that people were poor. He just knew that because of sin in the world, there would always be poor people—and also rich people.

But if I am reading what people are saying, they are suggesting that governments can do something about the poor. Well, many governments have been trying to relieve the poor for many centuries, but have always failed. It doesn’t work. That government system is called Socialism or even Communism. It is what they tried in Venezuela, but you see what happened there. That country use to be a rich country. Sure, there were the poor there, but now everyone is poor—except a few at the top who are very rich.

I think we ought to just accept the fact that there are poor people, and rich people, and people in between. Sure, it is up to each of us to help whoever you see that needs help. But please don’t put it on the government. I think the best people can do to help the poor is not only to give to them, but help them to know how they can help themselves. Encourage them and pray for them and be a friend to them.

Please, we need to stop talking bad about rich people. They are not all bad. Many of them worked very hard to get to where they are. Some I know are crooked, but many are good and are great givers. We ought not to think that they should just give all of their money away to help the poor—so as to even things out, or make things fair. We ought to except things as they are. To be content. Whether we are rich or poor, to be content. And don’t think that being rich is all happiness and being poor is all sadness. Many rich people are very sad and many poor are very happy. True happiness has nothing to do with money, but everything to do with our relationship with God in Jesus. He gives us true happiness in Him.

Who are the Professional Riot Groups?

Posted on by

Though there were, to begin with, somewhat peaceful protests because of the unjustifiable death of George Floyd, it seems apparent now in Minneapolis (and also now in other cities), that outside professional riot groups have come in to stir up riots and looting. President Trump largely blames antifa, but Minnesota officials blame white supremacists.

Well, who ever it is, they are bad. Both groups are evil. Some are saying that white supremacists are conservative Christians. But that is dead wrong. Christians, true Christians are good not evil. True Christians love people—both white and black people. A Christians is a following of Christ. And Christ came to love all people, and He gave His life to save all people. A white supremacist hates all people but his own race. He is totally selfish.

The antifa  movement is a militant, left-wing, political activist movement, that hold ideologies such as socialism, communism, etc. I suppose in this case they would be trying to stir up things so as to later point the finger at Trump for failing to act. Or they may be trying to stir up trouble in order to later call on a global government to save the day.

But like I said, they are both evil groups and I don’t think they would have any trouble working together. Evil loves company.
