Here an excerpt from Schumpeter, from Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy:

"In one important sense, Marxism is a religion. To the believer it presents, first, a system of ultimate ends that embody the meaning of life and are absolute standards by which to judge events and actions; and, secondly, a guide to those ends which implies a plan of salvation and the indication of the evil from which mankind, or a chosen section of mankind, is to be saved.....Now, to millions of human hearts the Marxian message of the terrestrial paradise of socialism meant a new ray of light and a new meaning of life."

end quote

Meanwhile, to a Christian we are citizens of two kingdoms, this earthly one and the one we should be preparing for as we are just passing through this worldly one. This concept, right or wrong, leads many Christians to not take actions to engage fully to defend themselves and their beliefs.

Even a run-of-the-mill conservative realizes that things are pretty decent when compared to the hardscrabble past, and that civilization is fragile, so don't muck it up. You know, Chesterton's Fence.

A SJW, a socialist, a progressive, a Marxist, even most liberals, however, think that if we push the right buttons and set the dials just the right way on society we can get an earthly utopia. That requires oppression of conservatives and religion.

AND because they don't generally believe in an afterlife, this life takes on such importance that they fight like hell for their utopia on earth cause. After Trump won, they went apeshit and tried to wreck his presidency from election night onwards. Every loss to them is catastrophic. Meanwhile conservatives, are (generally) like "fuck it, imma go plant a garden" after Biden stole the election.

Liberals rely on this "free your mind" stuff to consolidate power. And while there is a benefit to homeschooling and not watching Hollywood filth, that doesn't take POWER away from those who gleefully use it to oppress you NOW.

Fit for the next utopia i.e. "heaven" i.e. milk, honey and virgin for the believers.

So true. Marxists realize that the battle is on the next door street. Whose streets and all that jazz...

Non marxists think this a spiritual war.

I cannot prove the latter but I know who is right with the former. And who is ruling the streets right now.

Conspiracy theorem: Christianity & Islam is created as a hopium/copium mind programming tool to keep you a slave forever for the Chosen People.

And who exactly are YOU?

Sure

It sucks on oligarch dick. Robbing almost all opportunity constantly increasing taxation and inflation. While whoring itself to the highest bidder for more foreign investment it shoves into the greediest corrupt pockets. Lining corrupt corporations into lawlessness. These bleed the country dry and sell it out to enemies it freely arms at its continued peril. They care not for the citizens they rob but for the rest of the numbers they exploit. It has mass populated the rest of the world opposingly by stripping it of resources from its greed for greater numbers to enslave and exploit until this very planet is threatened. Its media are fascists. They silence and suppress everybody who disagrees with its gangster feudalism. Constantly telling everybody else what to do as they praise rotten scoundrels and criminals. It cares little for its own lacking in unity, instead it exploits shovelling feces down the world's throat from its vanity and its corruption.

I dare you not. Why do I care about stinking oligarch dick and listening to gangster feudalism fascistly enslaving humanity and making them sick all so they can buy another gimmick.

You air Greta. A product of the dumbest generation alive thanks to corrupt America who think if they all buy new cars and new computers using even more electricity the World breathes. The dumbest.

You cared enough to reply, Republican bitch boy.
