This man talked, wrote and lived like he was possessed by the devil. He was ‘demon possessed’ according to his family members and friends and indeed many biographers. He was a dark, foreboding and angry man, who hated Jews and the Jewish God, but championed the devil of the Bible and, in doing so, rejected his family’s history of Jewish Rabbis. He railed against the political and religious establishment.
Some excerpts of his poems grew darker over time.
…Thus Heaven I’ve forfeited,
I know it full well
My soul, once true to God
Is chosen for hell...
– The Pale Maiden
…How so! I plunge, plunge without fail
My blood-black sabre into your soul.
That art God neither wants nor wists,
It leaps to the brain from Hell's black mists
Till heart’s bewitched, till senses reel:
With Satan I have struck my deal.
He chalks the signs, beats time for me,
I play the death march fast and free...
– The Player
We are reminded, in another poem, he promised to, “Lure mankind with him into Hell in the company of Satan.”
He married a childhood friend and had seven children. He never worked and was constantly in debt: he scrounged from his parents and his friends. Biographies say he lived in filth, everything in his home was run down or broken and he literally stank from his lack of personal hygiene. He had boils on his body and lived a despairing life of smoking, drinking and lack of exercise. His own father suggested he was governed by a demon. His son wrote to him, addressing him as “My dear devil’. His friend, Engels, described him as a “monster of ten thousand devils”. This is Karl Marx.
Jenny von Westphalen, his wife, was in such despair she wanted to die. They moved many times, were ordered out of two countries by the police and kicked out of homes because of unpaid rent, living in squalor and wrecking houses. Sadly, only three of his children survived, but two of them died in suicide pacts with their husbands.
Amid his chaotic life, he wrote books and poems and theorised about how societies ought to live. He raged against capitalism and business owners. He promoted government control, rather than personal responsibility and called socialism a ‘lower form of communism’. A transition...
Over the decades, countries took up his ideas, incredibly believing they would be fair, but in practice they utterly failed. These regimes produced the greatest ideological carnage in human history, killing more than a hundred million people in the last century. While some apologists claim it is unfair to blame him, the seeds of tyranny were there from the start. They assumed that vastly increasing government power was the key to liberating humanity.
Whether Marx was demon possessed or not is impossible to know but from his grave he still has a destructive effect on any country that takes up his theory. He does the opposite of what the Jewish God in the Bible promotes; destroying the family, destroying marriage, destroying gender, destroying cohesion, destroying personal rights, freedoms and responsibilities, but taxing the people heavily and spending their money.
It appears Jacinda Ardern, our former prime minister, models her politics on this man’s destructive theory. She told New Zealanders her proudest moment was when she was elected as president of the International Union of Socialist Youth, described by some as a Marxist communist organisation. She loved the IUSY position so much she remained president for some time after she was elected as NZ’s prime minister.
Ardern took the opportunity of a global pandemic to orchestrate the beginnings of this dark and foreboding angry man’s dream of utopia. Her ‘sustained propaganda’ of breaking down democracy was sickening, as it came under the guise of ‘kindness’. Kiwis have not forgotten. Kiwis will never forget. These beautiful isles in the South Pacific had peace and opportunity for all, where a century before brave young Māori and European men fought and died in world wars for New Zealand’s freedom and liberty. This depressing topic needs to be aired, as many New Zealanders are still recovering from the effects of Ardern modelling herself on the foundations of Marxist theory. We cannot let a Labour-Green coalition win the next election.
