Marxism for everyone: Past and present

Marxism for everyone: past and present.

1. The livelihoods.

He Marxism continues to develop with new allies and support. It is advancing at full speed in the transformation of consciousness and realities through discourse and its repositioning in culture. He learned the lesson of the 20th century, today he surrounds himself with new concepts and followers, the defeats forced him to blend in and reinvent himself but the roadmap remains intact. In that desire to intervene and modify structures, we witnessed or at least read about the horrors of real socialisms during the 20th century. Not only did they not resolve the inequalities, on the contrary, they deepened them and generated others with fire and blood.

The founder of Marxism is clear in pointing out that class struggle is “the engine of history and the central course of its dynamism”. The activation of resentment and hatred and violence is, therefore, according to Ibáñez Langlois “a necessary dimension of the struggle itself, for which all means are permitted as long as they are truly effective”. Marx announces an atheistic gospel that rationalizes his hatred and transforms instincts of resentment and revenge into a historical mission. The communist and proletarian revolution will unleash a process of destruction of the liberal-bourgeois order, enabling the creation of a different world, a paradise without scarcity, private property or classes. A revolutionary apocalypse will end the capitalist system and lay the foundations of communist society. A paradise for a few and a prison for the majority (perhaps that is not Cuba today in the middle of 2024).

The paradox is that Marxist ideas spread throughout the West and the free world among intellectuals, politicians and elites who did not hesitate to defend their postulates and the consequences of the process and the inevitable armed struggle. There remains the feeling that they encounter historical and human amnesia in the face of the mass murders that are increasingly documented after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the Soviet Empire. The battle against clever leftist propaganda has just begun. At the same time, Marxism mimics itself and uses other battles in which to influence. Marxist postulates no longer occupy only factories, fields and social organizations; today the call is to occupy all spaces through interest and pressure groups, from the street to parliament.

2. The crimes of the hammer and sickle.

Today we read that they proclaim a new left in Chile in a progressive and beneficent tone. The Frente Amplio (FA) has largely joined this call for a supposed renewal. Its ideologues, like good gardeners, have pruned what is necessary and convenient, After pruning, they leave the cruelty and horrors of the 20th century forgotten in the hands of the hammer and sickle. Today they tell us: “we continue” with a breath of the old: “overcome”. Marx's children did not hesitate to apply violence worldwide against the enemies of the people and the traitors in power. They deliberately exercised violence against the unarmed civilian population by: purges, terrorism, death squads, intentional famines as punishment and control, concentration camps and countless deportations. Cruelty became sophisticated to those who dared to think differently from the socialist paradise.

As a balance of Red hell, beyond the figures, the quantities of human lives sacrificed and a necessary “never again”, We must remember and denounce the genocide at the hands of this dehumanizing ideology, contrary to individual good and human civilization. It is impossible to forget the terror, the purges, the persecutions, the famines and deportations, the forced labor with certain death, the humiliations and humiliations of all kinds. In accordance with The black book of communism, the cost in lives is close to 100 million deaths (Courtois et al). Quantifying pain, trauma and all types of consequences border on the infinite.

The 20th century witnessed and suffered a Humanicide at the hands of the hammer and sickle. The local left cannot shed its roots without at least blushing and promising: “a never again” that includes themselves. The free society has always suffered and defends itself everywhere and at all times, neglecting it can be fatal spiritually, intellectually and humanly. Marxists are not in a position to target anyone as genocidal because their past condemns them in figures and cruelties throughout the world.

3. The forgotten relative.

The ideological link (at times silenced) between fascism and communism in ideas and historical facts has been conveniently silenced. They have characteristics and foundations in common that cleverly appear linked to Nazi terror with a voluntary and self-interested omission to the Marxist relative, both: they dehumanized the individual and forced him into collectivism, promising the impossible and eliminating enemies. Examples of kinship:

• State and more State: both converged in the need to control everything, absolutely everything from the State. According to Hayek, a forced collectivism in which the individual is subjugated in body and soul. An openly socialist and repressive State in all its facets and scope.
• Enemies: communism and Nazism, They publicly pointed out their adversaries, their enemies were flesh and blood, and personified on racial grounds (Nazism) and on social and economic grounds (communism).. Both promised a new man and the casualties (prisoners, tortured and dead) were seen as part of the liberation process in the face of an inevitable path and confrontation of their revolutions. Today new enemies appear.
• The political struggle: both ideologies of terror developed political cadres to fight, intimidate and sustain the struggles in the streets and in all places where it was necessary. A local heir recently warned of the need to ““surround with mass mobilization” before the nascent Constitutional Convention.
• Censorship: both applied all types of controls and censorship, suppressed fundamental freedoms (of expression), even They rewarded snitching and denouncing the other for plotting against the redemptive mission of communism and Nazism.
• Racism: In both social models there was not only conceptual contempt towards other peoples and human beings, In both it is possible to trace similarities of distrust and aversion to the Jewish people. Anti-Semitism was not exclusive to the Nazi world.

The world is burdened with hypocrisy not only in language, but also in symbols and in the culture of relativism of progressivism. Reasonably, no one walks calmly displaying clothing or “souvenirs” of Nazism. But, hundreds walk and brightly shine symbols of criminal communism, walk alongside stars, faces of Marx, T-shirts of transnational corporations with the hammer and sickle and with Che Guevara-style berets. The above, in the warning words of Anne Applebaum: ““While the symbol of one mass murder fills us with horror, the symbol of another mass murder makes us smile.”. A normalized hypocrisy that is repeated in local and international marches.

4. Why have we written Marxism for everyone?

Because Marxism as an instrument and interpretation of reality has been mutating from its beginnings to the present, until now and will continue to adapt forms and adopt followers. His heirs and followers have been learning from all the local and global defeats and failures, they know perfectly well that factories, industries and workers are no longer enough in today's world. Today they have spread to different places and spaces in society, the Trojan horse strategy remains more valid than ever. They have interfered in art, culture, the media and every place from which to preach the achievement of the original mandate from the present. They are not going to stop in their attempt to create a new world and create paradise on earth. “Marxism for everyone” is an attempt to bring together concepts, experiences, balances and information to understand an ideology of evil that mimics and becomes seductive. Destroying is always easier than building, for them violence is creative and hatred is the incombustible impulse.

The real experiences under this system suffered from poverty, famine, persecution and so on. Marx's followers have blood on their hands and history will not absolve them. If you are with them theoretically, practically and even romantically, something is not right and you are a passive accomplice that relativizes the millions of dead through a cruelty similar to that of Nazism, but temporarily more extensive in years and territories. All of Marx's predictions failed.

• The West and capitalism are under siege: a world vision and a model that have merged, achieving progress in all dimensions of the human being and society as a whole, not exempt from errors or corrections in the face of the new challenges of the human being, errors that Marxism traditionally denounces and it amplifies from inequality and injustice, and today from a cultural agenda of identities and sensitivities, which we will see in the second part of these final words.
• Marxism in today's world: Marxist thought has been changing its skin, its strategies, but its goals have not changed. The ultimate goal continues to be the construction of the new man and the promised paradise. Conflict, hatred and antagonisms continue to be their favorite strategies. Chile maintains a Communist Party (PC) anchored to Marxism-Leninism, at its 2024 hug party renewed its commitment to fight against imperialism. Recently, the leader of the local CP, in an apologetic tone, recognized in Lenin a pillar and support for the “present and future.”

5. What is Marxism today?

Unlike classical Marxism, which focused mainly on economic and class relations, Today he expanded his analysis by incorporating the cultural and superstructural dimensions of society.. This implies special attention to aspects such as culture, ideology, language and other elements beyond the merely economic. Promotes “a theoretically multiculturalist system based on absolute relativism, which implies the denial of the existence of absolute truths of universal validityl” according to David Martin. In this sense, supports the "fights" of radicalized feminist and sexual organizations, which question the established norms of family, religion and morality, that old order.

To achieve «cultural hegemony», The left has unleashed a cultural battle, censoring, imposing speeches and canceling its opponents with cultural performances, marches, “funas” and a notable space in the media. Seeks to redistribute wealth or social justice, guarantee almost infinite social rights and promote radical equality. It irresponsibly maintains that resources are unlimited compared to needs. It installs concepts, then spreads them in the media and slowly permeates the key institutions of Western society.

Are there other characteristics and metamorphoses of Marxism today? Yes, there is the feeling that they have taken a couple of steps away in their favor, surrounded by auras of moral superiority and an accusing finger that detects fascists, imperialists, capitalists and countless enemies everywhere who are denounced, cornered and censored. . Either we wake up or they will overtake us Tiananmen style physically, ideologically and spiritually.

Before saying goodbye we must emphasize the warning call, the current confrontation is no longer exclusively from military trenches or urban guerrillas. Today deconstruction aims to empty the human being using capitalism from the totalitarian desire to concentrate all power and dilute the individual, disrupting the legacy of Christian and Western culture., erasing limits, promising total emancipation physically, conceptually and in sensations. Unfortunately, capitalism is being used as a means to erase what we know and inherit with notable civilizational advances that are severely threatened.
