Modern day “leftism” seems to be a strange hybrid between socialism, communism, fascism and even technocracy. It’s an authoritarian system encompassing a lot of the different social, political and economical tenets that Marx promoted. All just basic themes and variations of authoritarianism rooted in evil.
On a Biblical level, it’s the same philosophy that satan followed. It’s the same ideology that inspired Marx and Engels. It’s the same belief system that gave tyrants like Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot and Hitler a false sense of justification to murder 100 million innocent people, in the last century alone.
Today’s leftists all share the same dangerous idea that group identity is paramount to individualism. They all believe that the “means of the many outweigh the means of the few”.
The “end justifies the means” is part of that old communist group-hive mentality and is very dangerous for anybody who dissents from the ruling class. Conform or be cast-out.
The most basic idea behind marxism (leftism) is to destroy the concept of God, eradicate morality and values and place all power and control in the hands of government. Remember, “absolute power corrupts absolutely!!” Leftism embraces big-government and values collectivism over individualism. This is very concerning for anybody who does NOT toe the party-line.
I’m still trying to wrap my head around all this.
