The Antibeing

When Marx, and the often forgotten Engels, wrote The Communist Manifesto, its primary purpose was to rationalize the communist position, hardly touching on how such a government could be obtained or the exact effects it would cause. Communism was in its infancy. 

It saw its first chance at realization during the chaos surrounding Russia in the struggle that was the First World War. The Tsar and his family that had ruled Russia for centuries had stepped down at the behest of democratic protests. Russia was a feudal nation, struggling to compete with the more developed Europe that lay to the west. Much of its power came simply from its large population and vast expanses of land. To impress Europe, the Tsars had ruled the country in a brutal and simultaneously neglectful manner, showering themselves in riches while the poor peasants starved outside. They held extravagant balls as the serfs toiled in the fields, all to impress the Western nobility. Suffice to say, a lot of resentment had rightfully grown among the working and peasant class.

Now, Russia was industrializing, which meant a rising, if still hopelessly poor, middle-class. The communist movement used the internal strife to gather the working poor to lead a revolution against the democratically elected Duma, occupied mostly by social conservatives with various ideas about the role of government. But, the working class’ needs were still unmet. Using their charisma and various unscrupulous means, the communists exploited their hunger and deprivation by promising prosperity, food, land, and peace. The communists surged in the political landscape and eventually were able to wrestle the country from its newfound government and form an even newer, much more oppressive one.

But, the circumstances surrounding the revolution were incredibly rare; it was a once in a lifetime, if not less, opportunity. Communism has always sought global “liberation” of mankind. Though enormous, Russia was not enough and never would be for communist expansion. The West, however, rejected communism and sought on several occasions to destroy it. Communism would have to evolve its strategy from desperate revolutions of the proles to covert subversion. 

Communist leaders such as Antonio Gramsci, Saul Alinsky, and the Frankfurt School mercilessly grasped the reins of the movement and directed it to now go underground through a set of rules that, in time, would have the communist cause drive itself. The West was the only true obstacle, but to overcome it, it would require a much more intense form of radicalism.

To dismantle a civilization, you must first find its roots. Obviously, the West was founded on Christian morality, so that had to be destroyed. But, if you really want to defeat a civilization, you must go for the heart of it all. Destroy everything, wreak havoc wherever, cause chaos, sow disruption. Even basic human instincts are now an enemy. Mothers naturally wish to save their babies via any means necessary. Now, mothers rid themselves of their babies by any means necessary. The root of all human society, basic family unity, is a burden to communism. Kinship between people was yet another obstacle in the way of total domination. And so, communism became the antithesis of virtue, the antithesis of common sense, and the antithesis of nature. 

George Orwell knew exactly what communism had become. An avowed socialist, searching for the genuine good it promised to bring, he wrote Nineteen Eighty-Four to reveal the true nature of communism. The slogan of the party, “War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength,” displayed the nonsense communism espoused. True, communists would never admit they believe this outright, but with enough pushing they will defend it because they are contrarians in the truest sense of the word. However, the core lesson lies not in the exact nouns and adjectives Orwell uses to describe the devilish ideology, it is in the internal contradiction it possesses. “Ugly is beautiful” might be the best example we see today. Surely, you can think of plenty more examples.

There is no truth within communism, no absolute right or wrong, no objective fact. There is only what suits the movement. This is where the Devil truly lies in the ideology. Many ideologies have come before that have sought to undo good in favor of evil. Many kings have had their moral compass flipped upside down. But, not to the point that they are anti-everything.

In the Bible, as well as, in many mythologies, the precreation, that is what was before the Earth, was described not as nothingness, but as chaos. A sea of roaring waters – absolute mayhem. God formed the universe and gave it order. And, he saw that it was good. He calmed the waters housing Leviathan and made a world that would sprout his children. 

The Devil is the opposite of God in every way, not just in morals. He seeks to create chaos to bring the world back to its primitive state, before God performed His good works. He can work within an orderly system, of course, but if he had his way he would prefer complete anarchy, not an authoritarian dictatorship. True, communism has historically erected such systems of intense order, only with a flipped moral system.

But, the current communism that has plagued the West is of a new breed. It is one that seeks to uncreate, rather than develop a stricter system. Of course, such an anarchic system will never arise, but communism has always been about evil pipedreams more than practical solutions. The Devil likely knows he can only do so much to unleash his wrath with human systems; this is why he tends to create an overarching, abusive state, because that allows him to destroy.

This is how we know how truly evil our enemies are. Not only do they oppose our Lord, our faith, our morals, our culture, our people, but our very being itself. They embody the fallen one himself, the Satan, the Devil, the Arch-Fiend, the Antibeing.

And, that last bit isn’t hyperbole. Take a listen to an antifa podcast or read their online vitriol – it is a thorough hate of order and virtue. You’ll even find, though rarely, a public admission ot Satanism. It doesn’t stop with the fringe Left either, take a look at their mainstream leaders praising infanticide, vilifying your ancestors, supporting physical mutilations, etc. This is anti-everything.
