Observational Critique and a Copy of the Communist Manifesto Drastically Increase Your Understanding of the Communist Literature in a few Hours of Reading

FOREWORD

I first began studying Communism, as far as my 30 year lifespan is concerned, only very recently – the initial work began about 2-3 years ago when I encountered a sermon series by Daniel Joseph of Corner fringe Ministries titled The Death of America which detailed great involvement of Communistic thought in the United States purposed in a total takeover. Included were numerous facts and details about the history of Communism that I had never been exposed to before. The purpose of that sermon series was not necessarily a full out attack on Communism however. In fact, it addressed numerous problems that had been occurring in America progressively over a great period of time, attitudes of complacency and the like that were slipping in and tampering with the mindset of a generation. For me, however, that moment was a shock. I had grown up in an Ontario public school system where we were all taught by our seemingly very affectionate and kind teachers that Communism was something of a benevolent system aiming for a moral reform purposed in provisions for the poor and neglected of the earth. We were told that it was a system that produces an equality for low-wage workers who were born into circumstances that would otherwise make personal advancement and attainment of happiness and dreams impossible. Communism was to us, therefore, a guiding light in a dark world in the sense of how it was described.

Ironically, and I do not know if this was unique with our school in particular, or school system only- never once was the Communist Manifesto read out loud to us. Never once, still more, was it read with a view of a critical commentary on its precepts. I say this however with mixed feelings and uncertainty – if they read it out loud, but without a critical commentary and explanation then I suspect its concepts would of flown over my head and I would still have viewed it as a good thing. It wasn’t until I heard some of the darker history of Communism that it occurred to me to read this document, the famed Manifesto, with a view that maybe something in this book is very, very wrong, it sounds like something may be askew in this book. What I had been taught in the public schools and the manifested reality of what I was hearing from quotations of disciplined and studied authors was not matching. I had to know why. At this point I had already been dealing with the reality of other violent movements centered from the commands of a document where apologists had arisen to defend the key document, so when pro-Marxist thinkers began to tell me That was just not real Communism, it sounded most suspicious. I said I have heard this language before, for example with the issue of radical muslims and the finding was that much of their actions are in fact directly traceable to Quranic verses about treatment of the infidel and the unbeliever and the constant mimicry of the lifestyle of Muhammad. Also, on the issue of radical Hinduism where similar things manifested. Thus, I concluded that it made very real sense that where Communism was producing violence and bitterness, it may not so much be a misrepresentation of its promises of Utopia as an issue of language in the creedal document of the movement.

In retrospect, it is embarrassing. When I was a teenager, in that public school I would have promoted Communism. It is a great and just system that defends the poor and vulnerable I would have said, meanwhile I did not even know of the words bourgeoisie, proletariat, which are so central to the narrative of the document of the Manifesto. That fact should be a source of great shame on two parts: one, my childhood naivete. Two, the neglect of my teachers in the public-school system which I can only assume at this point was either intentional dishonesty or simple incompetence. However, in the spirit of empathy, I can look back with understanding. I came from a broken, single-mother household. I had watched as my mother worked, worked, and worked so hard and never seemed to move forward or make it anywhere. I always had to listen to her describing the constant obstacles she faced in an oppressive workforce. I had also grown up always feeling like less of a man because in my eyes everyone else had a more financially astute family... I felt ashamed as a child, and I wanted a way out of that feeling of shame. Though that too was naïve of my younger self and lacking information, deep understanding and perspective in so many ways that I do not have time to describe, but it should suffice to say in a sense of financial competency we were lacking as a family, so it would come to pass that by nature Communism, considering the selective details we were presented and the way they were described, would sound like a very real way out. And that truly is, I believe, the bulk of its force of promotion- it makes sense that those in a situation where they are feeling like they will never be able to accomplish their dreams, and where it may at times truly appear that way, that there is no way forward, being tortured with a lot of desires and dreams and no feeling of being able to satiate them... yes, Communism does look to be a solution at a first glance. Anyone would think so if the only facts they heard were what my public school presented.

That said I am deeply concerned for the reader of this document who ascribes some level of loyalty to their public-school narrative and upbringing where this system was promoted – Communism. I am so deeply concerned that, because I knew more after my recent studies, my perspective will have tainted my word usage to reflect personal anger and frustration with the system of Communism. What I mean is this – I now know now what this document is doing, and what it has brought forth, and what kind of a culture it creates. It came to pass as I was critiquing it, I felt bitter at points- angry! I was not angry because Communists existed, I was angry because the document constantly seemed to have a habit of shoving a narrative, but striving to keep the people from seeing the things between the lines in it, to shut people out from the small fine print of the document. The horrors that I had learned of from Communist Russia and China were fresh in the mind, singing like a constant chorus. As I was looking at the original document’s commands and knowing what they become when enacted... I kept seeing the faces of the dead. Those who if this document was never written, would been, and would have lived their life, and may have contributed great things to humanity. The faces of the starved infants with their skin pressing tightly against their skulls that I had seen from the videos about the Holodomor and the photos from Communist China for instance kept pressing a sword of deep sorrow and anguish into my heart. The faces of those killed by Communism were still fresh. So, my word is this: if someone reads this document, as a sort of thinker of Communism is a good system, it helps the poor – please understand that any anger in this document is not directed personally at you. We all fair better when we do not make documents like this our personal identity- I may criticize the Communist Manifesto, and quote a portion and say this is so incompetent! in my wrath... but that does not mean that I am critiquing you, the reader personally, or that I feel you are lacking in intelligence at all. Just a few years prior I would have been in a similar situation. I have tried my best to keep my own personal sadness and regret from speaking, but I know I have not been perfectly successful. May it come to pass that my words would not be a stumbling block for someone stuck in the system of Communism and the hold of its apologists.

With that all said, for those supporting this document more from an angle of what they were taught in public schools, I beckon you this – please study the history of Communist Russia, Communist China and the like. I will not cover that history very extensively in this critique – my words become more directed for the most part at the text of the Manifesto itself. However, I am working on a multi-volume series, a commentary on social atheism where in the third volume I will be covering some of the history of Communism in greater detail and with a far more abundant provision of footnotes. If you are willing, consider purchasing the books when they become available- they will be affordable. However, another good place to start is with documentaries such as Harvest of Despair and the writings of the Dutch Historian Dikotter. Take the time to research the reports of artificial famines and hear the arguments, and observe the evidence. Study the life of those famed Communist leaders- Lenin, Stalin, Lavrentiy Beria and the rest. Take a look not only at them, but reports of the lives of the men and political caucuses they surrounded themselves with, and ask questions. I trust that if you do, and become aware of the bias of your own upbringing and beliefs, you may find a reality of Communism that is less beautiful than it appears outwardly.

MY FIRST SET OF BOOKS: AN OBSERVATIONAL CRITIQUE OF THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO, AN OBSERVATIONAL COMMENTARY ON SOCIAL ATHEISM – VOLUMES ONE, TWO AND THREE:

Naturally, as my first works to be generally published, there will be some formatting inconsistencies here and there. I am not excessively trained yet in the ways of ensuring spaces between dividers, etc. are perfectly consistent in a uniform rule. Also, I could not afford a full-time proofreader at the time for the totality of the documents being written, so I had to rely on having a single sample proofread by full-time proofreaders[1] to get a general sense of how to improve my formatting. This led to conversion from the Arial font to the Times New Roman, a 2.0 spacing, in attempt to become more consistent with the MLA format. It also led to having a higher view to critique of my own books- I have scanned them each over about 2-3 times not only for spelling errors, but for needless repetitions, which is in fact my worst habit as a writer, and I am actively working always to curb it. There are two types of repetition that can occur in non-fiction writing: The first is the detrimental kind that I have sought to delete in every place, which is rambling. The second is the methodology of the paraphrase.

A statement may be repeated with slightly different wording, or in a more idiomatic form, or expounded upon. Where this occurs, it is always the intent of the author to make sure their words were not misconstrued or falling short of a critical concept they wished to convey. Most of the repetitions I have left which are hopefully not many are of a rewording/paraphrase nature. I make them when I feel a sort of state of panic in a hunch that an urgent concept will be overlooked by the reader in a very in one end the ear and out of the other kind of way.

The most important point is the goal and the mind behind the sequential presentation of quotations and documents of history and the like. We live in a society in the West that tends to receive only one narrative. The goal of these books is to counter-balance that narrative with the elements our public educators neglected to inform us of. These books are written very much in a sense of urgency as a response to the lack of education of our times in the history and recent developments of social atheism.

CHAPTER 1: NECESSITIES OF INTRODUCTION – A BRIEF HISTORY: WHY THIS TOPIC IS RELEVANT TO YOU, AND YOU ABSOLUTELY NEED TO LEARN ABOUT COMMUNISM AND WHAT ITS IMPLICATIONS ARE

SHORT MANIFESTO HISTORY

In 1848 two German philosophers by the name of Karl Marx and Engels published the famed document called the Communist Manifesto which functioned as a creedal document highlighting official positions, beliefs, and strategies of those called Communists and The Communist party. This Communism which they professed was clearly a variant of socialism, but differed from traditional socialism with view to (Communism) bringing a format for State (Government) ownership of property (And in a very real way, of persons.). It very much seems to have developed as an offshoot of French Revolution literature, the further development of a system that was in the works as much of the European populace following the age of enlightenment began to distance themselves from traditional religion and religious views- and with it, views of private ownership, lordship and management of lands, free-trade business, etc.- though the implications of Communism and the Manifesto are far more than State ownership of land, to be sure. Proponents of this view of the document are often alternatively called Marxists, derived from the name of Karl Marx who played a massive role in the formation of the document alongside Friedrich Engels.

INFLUENCE AND RELEVANCY TO OUR MODERN TIME

This document, called the Communist Manifesto has had an incredible influence and impact on the past century, and continues to have an influence and impact to this day. For instance, in a little more than half a century its ideals and the party advancing it would go on to subjugate Russia, converting it from a Tsarist regime to a Communist regime following the Bolshevik revolution. Afterwards, Communism would grow and be implemented in various lands as a governmental system- China, Cuba, Vietnam and some others. Numerous countries have experienced Communist Revolution at this point already.  There is therefore a very tangible history surrounding this literature of the Manifesto to confirm the points made herein.

To give a greater sense of the relatability to our modern times, we can pull up a quote from one of the co-founders of the famed "Black lives Matter" movement, Patrisse Cullors. In a recent video which has become viral, she said: We are trained organizers, "we are trained Marxists[2].  The implications of that alone are massive for one studied in Marxist history. It means, in this example, Black Lives Matter, a contemporary movement with a massive world influence has a built-in agenda to establish world Communism, more or less – an agenda apart from any issues of discrimination of African Americans and the like, a whole separate agenda which many are not privy to as many have not read the Manifesto nor studied Communist history to even know what that means. Many people therefore who would be supporting that movement in interest of racial justice would unintentionally and unknowingly also support a whole plethora of ideology attached to the movement- the literature of the Communist Manifesto represented in numerous narratives, agendas, and abolition statements. That group of unintentional supporters would include a great throng of people. Another organization for instance with a very strong Communist root and influence directly relevant to our times and the issue of the Corona Virus narrative is the famed World Health Organization". The first director general of the World Health organization, for example, Dr. G. Brock Chisholm (1896-1971) who pushed the name of the organization to what it was is known for a belief in Communism that reveals itself in his literature.

For instance, Dr. G. Brock Chisolm, the director general of the World Health Organization wrote:

The pretense is made that to do away with right and wrong would produce uncivilized people, immorality, lawlessness, and social chaos. The fact is that most psychiatrists and other respected people have escaped from moral chains and are able to think freely.  

This language used by Dr. G. Brock Chisolm is directly traceable to dictates that appear in chapter 2 of the Communist Manifesto- it’s stance on these matters, morality and law, etc. The Manifesto reads:

"But Communism abolishes eternal truths, it abolishes all religion, and all morality, instead of constituting them on a new basis; it therefore acts in contradiction to all past historical experience."

Chapter 4 of the Communist Manifesto speaks of these, eternal truths, religion, morality as chains to which Brock refers:

" The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win."

We see very clearly the language connection, and what kind of a system Brock was promoting. Well the World Health Organization has numerous influences like this in it, numerous Communist roots – and that is a major and very powerful organization in the world right now. And they have an agenda– just as Black Lives Matter has an agenda going far past racial justice and equity, the World Health Organization as an entity with high Marxist doctrines has agendas going far past bringing affordable medicine to impoverished areas of the earth.
