Father of Communism, Stepfather of Nationalist Socialism
A few comments and reminders by Col Mike Walker, USMC retired
My thought on the birth of Karl Marx: May you rot in the Godless socialist hell you created.
Marx was no non-violent pacifist. Marx advocated violent revolution – civil war...
... and it did not end there; he demanded blood before during and after his revolution.
Per the Communist Manifesto:
Chapter I: He saw the revolutionary path as a “more or less veiled civil war, raging within existing society, up to the point where that war breaks out into open revolution, and where the violent overthrow of the bourgeoisie lays the foundation for the sway of the proletariat.”
Marx utterly rejected pursuing change through a peaceful political process.
Chapter III: “Violently oppose all political action on the part of the working class.”
But it was his exhortation to create a violent socialist dictatorship in the wake of the revolution where the real seeds of genocide were sewn:
Chapter II: The revolution “cannot be effected except by means of despotic inroads…and are unavoidable.”
Chapter IV: “The Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions. Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communistic revolution.”
His words inspired, Lenin, Stalin, Mussolini, Mao, Hitler and a host of lesser socialist despots.
Yes indeed dear Karl, rot in one or all of the Godless socialist hells you created.
