The Battle Between the Free World and Communism (Part 1)

The Paris Commune, one of the major havocs in human history, erupted in March 1871. Lasting only about two months and hailed by Karl Marx as a prototype communist movement, it devastated Paris. The movement faced consistent resistance from the general public across Europe but settled in Russia in 1917 and gradually expanded to rule one-third of the world's population.

After that, the world was divided into two camps—the free world and the communist forces. Following World War II, conflicts between the two resulted in the Cold War that lasted nearly half a century. The Cold War appeared to be an arms race between the two camps when, in fact, it also involved communist ideology infiltrating the entire free world. Through education and different movements, the communist specter led people, especially the younger generations, to deviate from traditional beliefs, moral values, and religion, creating worldwide discord.

Because Marxism silently dominates many aspects of our global culture, communist China soared to become the second-largest economic entity in the world. With money, power, and other lucrative incentives, the Chinese Communist Party has influenced many governments in the free world, making them indifferent to the pervasive crimes caused by communism.

In 2020, a global pandemic has left the world in an unprecedented, modern-day havoc. Awakened by reality, many people and governments alike have joined the momentum to counter communism.

Karl Marx as a Satanist
During World War I, the Bolsheviks started the October Revolution in 1917. Russia, often considered a legitimate heir of the Roman Empire, suddenly became atheistic. The Soviet Union printed a large number of copies of The Communist Manifesto in multiple languages and distributed them around the globe.

Before that, the book had been banned in a number of countries, notably Germany, the United States, and Turkey. Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, authors of the book, were expelled from France, Belgium, and Germany.

The book begins: “A specter is haunting Europe—the specter of communism. All the powers of old Europe have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this specter: Pope and Tsar, Metternich and Guizot, French Radicals and German police spies.”

Why such an opening? There are several reasons. One of them was that Marx was against religion. “Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people,” he wrote.

This has puzzled some historians. Raised in a Christian family, Marx was unusually devout at a young age. Around the age of 19, however, he became a Satanist, and his writings were filled with images of hell, Satan, revenge, and cursing mankind. Among his over 100 volumes of works, only 13 volumes were published. The remaining are still in the Marx-Engels Institute in Moscow.

Richard Wurmbrand, a Christian minister imprisoned and tortured by the communist regime in Romania, researched the archives and identified Marx’s Satanic nature. In Invocation of One in Despair, Marx wrote:
“So a god has snatched from me my all,
In the curse and rack of destiny.
All his worlds are gone beyond recall.
Nothing but revenge is left to me.”

Testimony by his housemaid Helen Demuth also confirmed this. When he was very sick, Marx prayed alone in his room before a row of lighted candles, tying a sort of tape measure around his forehead, a Satanic ritual. This also influenced his children.

“Indeed, Luciferian worship may well have been a family affair in the Marx household. Marx’s son-in-law Edward Eveling was a prolific writer and lecturer on Satanism, while Marx’s own son Edgar addressed his father in a letter dated March 31, 1854, as: ‘My dear devil,’” wrote Wurmbrand in his book Marx & Satan.
