The supposed draw that unites global humanity under Marxism is a paradise of a classless society. To achieve this Marxist paradise
the current lower classes under the thumb of the slaving upper wealth classes,
must endure degrees dictatorship of the Proletariat (lower) classes
that weeds out those self-starting independent-minded entrepreneurs that better
themselves and thus the society the entrepreneurs live in.
This so-called beneficent dictatorship must use brutal
totalitarian means to achieve the classless Marxist society. I am guessing the
dumbed-down idiots think (or deceive themselves) periods of totalitarian
brainwashing that ends Liberty-minded Rights to tow the line of the State (the
enigmatic Proletarian dictatorship) is cool (it has been rumored that millennials attracted to Marxism
use “lit”).
Lester DeKoster writing for Acton.org in more
academic terms than I can present, demonstrates the idiocy of the pipe-dream of
a classless society.
Marx always
insisted that he derived his system from a careful study of history. Marxists
are fond of insisting that they think “concretely,” which means they always
stick to the facts. That this is not really the case may be shown by an
illustration.
Let us suppose that a student of Marxism grasps the truth
that the concept of the classless society, the earthly paradise, is not only
the capstone of Marxist theory but is also the capstone of Marxist propaganda.
It is this vision which distinguishes Marxism from other forms of violent
social criticism, like, say, anarchism, which has never been a serious
contender for men’s allegiance. Sensing, then, that Marxism draws much of its
propaganda appeal, both consciously and unconsciously, from the concept of a
perfect society, the critic begins to examine that idea in some detail.
He finds, first of all, as we have noted, that the Marxist
is very vague about the whole notion of the classless society. Marx hardly
discussed it systematically. Lenin generalized about it, and Stalin was much
too busy explaining its delayed arrival to wish to theorize concerning it. If
the critic presses the matter, and asks for more detail, he learns that the
Communist draws no blueprints of the classless society now. Why?
Well, basically because he cannot. Why not? Because it is impossible to do so
in current language and thought-forms. Once more, why not? Because the very
concepts and language which men now employ are fashioned by the environment of
class struggle out of which they, like all spiritual forms, arise. Our very
habits of thought are conditioned by class struggle. This is true because, Marx
taught, matter always controls the forms of logic, psychology, and language.
This is simply materialism.
Therefore the language, logic, and thought-forms of history
as we live it cannot apply to the new society, where there will be no struggle.
Thought-forms on this side of the revolution do not apply to life on the other
side. History has in this sense no claim on the classless society—the same
history, of course, from which Marx claimed to draw his certainty that the
classless society would be achieved.
Suppose, in the second place, that the critic insists that
there must be something to be learned about the classless society on this side
of the revolution, and points out that the Marxist himself does, after all,
talk and think about it. And suppose that the critic proceeds to argue that communist
experiments have been tried and found wanting, and communal enterprises have
often failed; he then tries to apply the causes of these failures, as he
understands them, to the idea of the classless society. What then?
He finds that the Marxist rejects abruptly all analogies
drawn from history. Why? Because the classless society is, you will recall,
strictly speaking beyond history. History as we know it, governed by the
dialectic and conducive to struggle, will cease when the classless society comes
into being. This being so, all argument drawn from present history cannot apply
to post-history, to the classless society. The Marxist will not be bound by the
lessons of history, the same history which is supposed to validate Marxism. . .
.
Or, finally, the critic draws one last arrow from his
quiver. He seeks to project conclusions drawn from the nature of man himself
into the new society. If man is like this, then in the classless
society he must react like that, and so on. Briskly the Communist
reminds him that the only “man” history knows is the victim of class struggle,
whether he be of the proletariat or of the bourgeoisie. This kind of man will
not exist in the classless society. Therefore any inference drawn from the one
kind of man will not necessarily, or even probably, apply to the other. In
judging the classless society, the Marxist accepts no responsibility to what
history or introspection teach concerning the nature of mankind.
In summary, the Marxist denies that any aspect of history as
we now know it can be used as a standard of judgment in the discussion of the
classless society. This places him in an enviable argumentative position, or,
rather, this removes the concept of the classless society out of the realm of
argument altogether. The idea of the classless society becomes amorphous enough
to be all things to all Marxists, and nothing to all critics. Between it and
history there is, in reality, no logical passage at all. On this subject the
Communist and the anti-Communist volley their charges over a bottomless
gulf—the chasm which divides history from post-history.
This chasm between the dispensations is
important. It represents for Marxism (though no Marxist puts it so) that
hill which in Pilgrim’s Progress is where the great
burden of historical evil drops away. This infinite gulf between history and
the classless society is for Marxism the unintentional recognition that man
must pass through the infinite, in some sense, before he can enter “heaven.”
The complete break which Marxist theory makes between history and the new
society means, in fact, that man as he is will never get into the new world
unaided.
It is quite inconceivable how a Marxist who lived before and
through the revolution could enter the classless society. How could he, in
reality, put on the “new man” in lieu of the man who had been formed by all the
tensions of class struggle? And if he brought into the new society any of the
vestiges of the old, they could become germs from which evil might once more
develop.
It is provocative how closely the Marxist position parallels
Christian doctrine. It is Christian teaching that nothing of history shall
enter unchanged into heaven. It is Marxist doctrine that
nothing of history pertains to the classless society. But in Christianity the
“new man” of heaven will be the “old man” reborn. The continuity is not broken.
This rebirth, however, is not the work of the man, but the work of God.
Marxism, based as it is on philosophical materialism, has no
concept of rebirth. At some point in history, the same persons who make the
revolution, who staff and support the dictatorship of the proletariat, are
supposed to enter the classless society. The fact that that process is presumed
to be gradual obscures but does not lessen the tension which holds between
things of “this” history and things of “that” post-history. The Marxist who
makes that fateful crossing from history into post-history would leave his very
self behind, for that self has been nurtured on the thought, the logic, the
passions, the struggles, and the material realities of history. Without these,
what kind of self, on Marxist grounds, remains? . . .
To escape historical evil the selves which now live and act
in history would have to be destroyed. So long as the self of man is not
regarded as sui generis, that is, a particular after its own kind,
but rather as derivative from the material substratum which forms it, that self
must disappear if the material undergoes radical change. This means that the
men who conduct the revolution, who staff and support the dictatorship of the
proletariat, could not enter the promised land. Nor could their children, born
in the context of struggle. The gulf between history and post-history is fixed,
and affords no crossing. This is instructive. It means simply that man cannot
save himself.

Lester DeKoster (1915–2009) became director of the library at Calvin
College and Seminary, affiliated with the Christian Reformed Church in North
America, in 1951. He earned his doctorate from the University of Michigan in
1964, after completing a dissertation on “Living Themes in the Thought of John
Calvin: A Bibliographical Study.” During his tenure at the college, DeKoster
was influential in expanding the holdings of what would become the H. Henry
Meeter Center for Calvin Studies, one of the preeminent collections of
Calvinist and Reformed texts in the world. DeKoster also amassed an impressive
personal library of some ten thousand books, which includes a wide array of
sources testifying to both the breadth and depth of his intellectual vigor.
DeKoster was a professor of speech at the college and enjoyed taking up the
part of historic Christianity and confessional Reformed theology in debates on
doctrinal and social issues that pressed the church throughout the following
decades. Both his public debates and private correspondence were marked by a
spirit of charity that tempered and directed the needed words of rebuke. After
his retirement from Calvin College in 1969, DeKoster labored for a decade as
the editor of The Banner, the denominational magazine of the Christian Reformed
Church. This position provided him with another platform from which to
critically engage the life of the church and the world. During this time
DeKoster also launched, in collaboration with Gerard Berghoef (a longtime elder
in the church) and their families, the Christian’s Library Press, a publishing
endeavor intended to provide timely resources both for the church’s laity and
its leadership.

Yurki1000 (Jyrki) and Dajjal begin a discussion that was inspired by the post Terror in Israel written by Ari Bussel and posted on October 12, 2015. This particular post was located on my NCCR blog (I cross post on two other blogs). Ari gives a man-on-site description of Islamic terrorism up to October 12. Sadly the Jew-hatred Islamic terrorism is still ongoing as of today October 29. Part One can be found HERE.
Part two focuses primarily on Yurki’s view of proper Christian doctrine. He examines who is responsible for Jesus Christ’s death. And toward the end he encourages readers to stand against the Senate’s CISA legislation which many concerned citizens feel there is a government Big Brother getting prepared to invade people’s cyber-privacy.

– Tola, the son of Puah, was a judge of Israel whose reign spanned a total of twenty-three (23) years. His reign started after the death of Abimelech. This is supported by the Biblical Time Line Chart. Not much was recorded about the life and reign of Tola. This judge of Israel is the least spoken of or recorded judge. There are no recorded deeds of this Tola.
– Here is the list of sub-tribes of Issachar: “And the sons of Issachar; Tola, [meaning “scarlet”] and Phuvah, and Job, and Shimron…Of the sons of Issachar after their families: of Tola, the family of the Tolaites: of Pua, the family of the Punites:
“Of Jashub, the family of the Jashubites: of Shimron, the family of the Shimronites…Now the sons of Issachar were, Tola, and Puah, Jashub, and Shimron, four.
“And the sons of Tola; Uzzi, and Rephaiah, and Jeriel, and Jahmai, and Jibsam, and Shemuel, heads of their father’s house, to wit, of Tola: they were valiant men of might in their generations; whose number was in the days of David two and twenty thousand and six hundred.
– One of the children of Issachar that went into Egypt with Jacob was “Job.” This is the Job of the Bible who wrote one of the oldest books of the Bible, the book of Job. The one God tested, and was faithful till the end. Notice what Bullinger says about the Authorship of the Book of Job, “A lengthened account of the discussion of these questions would be without profit.
Hebes were dispersed, more than once. They spread all over the world. Children of Hebrew mothers remain Hebrews no matter where they are.
Similar names of people and places prove nothing. The Bible traces the lineage of Mary, Mother of Jesus back to King David. All Jews. Jesus is a Jew. Never a Muslim.
European Jews were persecuted. No good cause exists for preventing or bitching about their return to Zion. Umar’s conquest in 638 did nothing to abrogate the right of the Jews to their own homeland. The defeat of the Ottoman Empire in WW1 facilitated the restoration of that right.
If any of them ain’t genuine Jews, I am content to let God sort them out in his own good time. And the sooner he sorts the Muslims, the better.

– Augustine was a bishop in Hippo Regius from 395 to 430. A prolific writer, his main job was to convince the survivors of the Diocletian persecution to join the church of Rome. He derisively referred to the North African Christians as DONATISTS.
[Blog Editor: The primary dispute between Christians called Donatists and the Catholic Christians under the guidance of Constantine the Great was about Christians who apostatized during Emperor Diocletian’s anti-Christian reign. In North Africa in particular Diocletian gave Christians a choice between life and death. Life if renounced Christ and burned sacred Scriptures and death if remained faithful Christians. To the disgust of many North African Christians a large number of Priests and lay people renounced Christ to save their lives.
After Constantine the Great made Christian legal and protected throughout the Roman Empire, many of those ex-Priests tried to reclaim their Clerical Christian status. The faithful Christians that remained after Diocletian’s persecution objected to penance, forgiveness and restored Clerical Office to Christians who had apostatized their faith. The upset Christians were the Donatists and Catholic Priests restored became the benefactors of Catholic forgiveness. St. Augustine was with the latter that condemned the Donatist position. (See: Controversies: Donatism; Early Christian History)]
Even though the North African Christians claimed to be the true Catholics, Augustine derisively referred to them as DONATISTS. Augustine had an intense HATRED for those uncompromising Christians who refused to join the Constantinean church:
Now let the proud and swelling necks of the heretics raise themselves, if they dare, against the holy humility of this address. Ye mad Donatists, whom we desire earnestly to return to the peace and unity of the holy Church, that ye may receive health therein, what have ye to say in answer to this? You are wont, indeed, to bring up against us the letters of Cyprian, his opinion, his Council; why do ye claim the authority of Cyprian for your schism, and reject his example when it makes for the peace of the Church? (Augustine, Against the Donatists, Book II, ch. III).
Every trick in the Roman arsenal was used to make the Christians conform but most of them remained steadfast adherents of Apostolic Christianity.
Despite the multiplicity of words written against them, the Christians still held steadfast to the Scriptures and the Lord kept adding to his African Congregation.
Augustine derisively referred to the North African Christians as DONATISTS. Many of his writings are locked up in the secret archives of the Vatican. He should be considered the real father of Islam.
Augustine was the most powerful and influential teacher of the Latin church. He was the originator of the Filioque and most of the false doctrines that emerged from that church can be traced right back to him.
Some of these false doctrines include: original sin, infant baptism, purgatory, clerical celibacy, predestination.
Augustine also laid the groundwork for the use of DISGUISED mercenaries in the age long Vatican war against the saints. Some of these DISGUISED mercenaries include:
Pope Gregory I sought Emperor Mauricius’ help against the North African Christians
Despite all the efforts of Augustine, the Christian faith continued to grow and Pope Gregory I was alarmed at its increase.
By the time of Pope Gregory I, the Christians of North Africa continued to multiply. The Pope was ALARMED, and despite their bitter rivalry, he asked Emperor Mauricius for military help.
Here is a quote from The Donatist Church:
By 596 the situation had become even less favourable. A further letter from the pope to Columbus (not Christopher) repeats the story of the spread of Donatism, but in August Gregory wrote to the Emperor Mauricius himself. The Imperial commands against the Donatists were being disregarded ‘by carelessness or connivance’. The bribes of the Donatists ‘so prevail in the province that the Catholic Faith is publicly put up for sale’. The exarch, far from taking action himself, was complaining of bishops who brought these things to his notice. The emperor’s personal assistance was requested, ‘to issue strict orders for the punishment of the Donatists and to arrest with saving hand the fall of the perishing’. Whether this appeal was successful or not we do not know. Except for Bishop Paulus’ repeated effort to have his case heard in Rome, there is no further literary record of Donatism. We are left with the impression of the movement resurgent and triumphant in southern Numidia, and then there is silence. (Frend, The Donatist Church, p. 312).
Old Rome saw the Christians of North Africa as a greater threat than the Eastern Empire in Constantinople.
The rise of Islam to destroy the North African Christians!
By the year 600, the Lord’s Congregation was triumphant over all her enemies. North Africa—comprising over 600 cities—was the richest part of the Roman Empire. The city of Rome itself was dependent on North Africa for her daily bread. With the rise of Islam, Europe became permanently separated from the Continent of Africa.
Muhammad began his bloody career of conquest around the year 630. Beginning around 660, his successors conquered Egypt and later invaded North Africa. Millions died by the sword of Islam and the whole province became a wilderness.
After conquering all of North Africa, the Arabs crossed into Spain in 711. Their main target in Spain was the Goths, who baptized by triune immersion, and refused to join the church of Rome.
The Arabs conquered all of North Africa and destroyed true Christianity. –

[Blog Editor: The above link is a hit piece on the famous (or infamous depending on where you stand) Rothschild family. A Jewish family that made it big in banking – first European and then global. Antisemitic Conspiracy Theorists like to associate the Rothschilds to Jewish New World Order conspiracies. Those conspiracies tend to branch in two ways. One way is the forged document entitled as “The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion” which libels the faith of Judaism associated with religious Jews. The second way are Jews that have abandoned their Judaic faith to favor the brutal utopianism of Communism and all that ideology top-down power structure that robs of individual Liberty and personal choice into a Marxist New World Order.
It is ludicrous to associate all Jews with either Conspiracy Theory. And it is my opinion the Rothschild family was a benefactor of Western Capitalism rather other than a New World Order via religious domination or Marxist despotism. At least by the 20th century I suspect the banking Rothschilds were no more religiously observant than a secular minded Jewish person is today. BUT I do know one thing. Foreign Secretary Arthur James Balfour writes an official government letter to Baron Lionel Walter Rothschild promising a Jewish Homeland to be formed for the Jews of the Diaspora in the Holy Land of their forefathers. See HERE and HERE.
Yurki’s link above makes me suspicious of the veracity of the information by its very title: “Hitler Was A Rothschild And So Was His Daughter Angela”. I wonder of the author of that article has read the Jew-hatred of Hitler’s Mein Kampf? And I wonder how Hitler met Chancellor Merkel’s mother to form a love child?]
I see: Kings and politicians are puppets.
– The advent of the industrial revolution, the invention of a banking system based on usury, and scientific and technological advancements during the past three centuries have had three major consequences. These have made the incredible concentration of wealth in a few hands possible, have led to the construction of increasingly deadly weapons culminating in weapons of mass destruction, and have made it possible to mould the minds of vast populations by application of scientific techniques through the media and control of the educational system.
The wealthiest families on planet earth call the shots in every major upheaval that they cause. Their sphere of activity extends over the entire globe, and even beyond, their ambition and greed for wealth and power knows no bounds, and for them, most of mankind is garbage – “human garbage.” It is also their target to depopulate the globe and maintain a much lower population compared to what we have now.
It was Baron Nathan Mayer de Rothschild (1840-1915) who once said: “I care not what puppet is placed on the throne of England to rule the British Empire on which the sun never sets. The man that controls Britain’s money supply controls the British Empire, and I control the British money supply.” –
[Blog Editor: On a personal level I am board with powerful elites trying to shape global politics and economics to benefit the rich and powerful; HOWEVER I have grave doubts of a monolithic coordination among elites for one purposeful design. On a big scale there is simply too many power brokers with varying degrees of religion, no-religion, ethics and ideology. I cannot see all these people in agreement on how to shape the world. I think a current example is the Koch family agenda probably remarkable varies from the George Soros network agenda.]
– If it is true that one of the Rothschilds is the real father of Alois Hitler, it would make Adolf a quarter Khazar Jew. According to these sources, Adolf Hitler knew of the existence of this document and the incriminating evidence it contained. In order to obtain it, he precipitated events in Austria and initiated the assassination of Dollfuss. According to this story, he failed to obtain the document at that time, since Dollfuss had secreted it and had told Schuschnigg of its whereabouts so that in the event of his death the independence of Austria would remain assured. –

IC: The Fall Of Man Started The Conspiracy.
[The assertions below smack of a bit of Antisemitism to me. It is the old Christian version of Antisemitism that caused Christians to persecute Jews horribly at least since the days that Christianity became the dominate faith of Europe and pre-Islam Near or Middle East. In those days Christian writers of note essentially blamed all Jews for the decisions of the Sanhedrin elite of Jerusalem who were jealous to protect their station of what power the Romans allowed them to keep. Blaming all Jews for the power hunger of a few Jewish elites of the first century AD is like blaming all Christians today for Christian nobleman and clergy elites of yesteryear instituting bloody persecutions against Jews. Blaming any group – racially, socially or nationality – for the crucifixion and death of Jesus is ludicrous. Here’s why.
In a Christian perspective, Redemption would never have happened if Jesus the Christ did not allow himself to be crucified as an innocent man. The selfless act of Jesus give all those who believe the opportunity of Redemption out of Satan’s grip and be transferred into the Kingdom of God’s dear Son. THINK ABOUT IT!]
– Your understanding of the Gospel account will change forever once you understand the truth of the Jewish leaders who conspired to put Jesus on the cross. This incredible series reveals that the Pharisees and Sadducees who hated Jesus with an unnatural hatred and provoked the Lord into uncharacteristic animosity toward them, were secretly Satanists practicing what later became known as the Cabala (Kabbala, Qabbala).
Now you will know why the Pharisees killed Jesus even though they knew with 100% certainty that He was the Promised Messiah.
Now you will know why these Jewish leaders looked at Jesus’ miracles and concluded that He was drawing His power from Beelzebub, one of Satan’s chief demons. –
[Blog Editor: What is CISA? It is Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act. The CISA purpose sounds good. Its purpose is for private businesses to stem cyber hacks by sharing info. The problem: There is the appearance that clandestine government agencies such as the NSA, CIA et al; will be able to snatch personal info in warrantless searches. It is red alert – Big Brother is on the loose.
FOR MONTHS, PRIVACY advocates have asked Congress to kill or reform the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act, a bill that they say hides new government surveillance mechanisms in the guise of security protections. Now the Senate has shot down a series of attempts to change the legislation’s most controversial measures, and then passed it with those privacy-invasive features fully intact.
On Tuesday afternoon [10/27/15], the Senate voted 74 to 21 to pass a version of CISA that roughly mirrors legislation passed in the House earlier this year, paving the way for some combined version of the security bill to become law. CISA is designed to stem the rising tide of corporate data breaches by allowing companies to share cybersecurity threat data with the Department of Homeland Security, who could then pass it on to other agencies like the FBI and NSA, who would in theory use it to defend the target company and others facing similar attacks. That landslide vote was no doubt fueled in part by a year of massive hacks that hit targets including the health insurer Anthem, Sony, and the Office of Personal Management.
But privacy advocates and civil liberties groups see CISA as a free pass that allows companies to monitor users and share their information with the government without a warrant, while offering a backdoor that circumvents any laws that might protect users’ privacy. “The incentive and the framework it creates is for companies to quickly and massively collect user information and ship it to the government,” says Mark Jaycox, a legislative analyst for the civil liberties group the Electronic Frontier Foundation. “As soon as you do, you obtain broad immunity, even if you’ve violated privacy law.”

Dajjal: “If any of them ain’t genuine Jews, I am content to let God sort them out in his own good time. And the sooner he sorts the Muslims, the better.”
Thanks Dajjal. I think the Muslims are being sorted :-)
I believe that the PEACE will begin within ten years. God will unite Abraham’s sons :-)
[Blog Editor: Hmm… I pray Yurki was not implying that Muslims are Abraham’s in the same sense that the Jews are. The Jews are the heirs of Promise in the line of Promise that goes Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. In a Christian perspective that Promise leads to Jesus Christ who in that line of Promise that stretches back to King David.
Muslims count their ancestor as Ishmael the son of Abraham. Ishmael is the son of slave and has not part in the Promise except as revealed in Christ Jesus the Son of God. Muslims vehemently deny that Jesus is God’s Son. SEE Galatians 4:21-31 NKJV.]
– Abraham’s Territory…but not yet! Egypt, Assyria, Israel
Isaiah 19:25 prophesies of this trio saying, “Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance.” Here we see the descendants of the 3 wives of Abraham linked together. Assyria is located in the north by the Euphrates, Egypt is located in the south by the Nile and Israel lies smack dab between them, with a road that will connect the three in the future. This alliance of Abraham’s descendants does not exist yet, but will be established in the Kingdom of God, as shown by Isaiah 19:23.
“In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria. The Assyrians will go to Egypt and the Egyptians to Assyria. The Egyptians and Assyrians will worship together. In that day Israel will be the third, along with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing on the earth. –
