Found this on FB. Great read.

Karl Marx did not create an economic system.

Marxism is a religion for destructive losers. Let me explain.

Marx opens The Communist Manifesto by declaring that "a specter is haunting Europe." He says the powers of old Europe have formed a "holy alliance" to "exorcise" it.

That is not the language of economics.

The Marxist worldview mirrors salvation theology: Capitalism is the fallen world. Revolution is purification. The dictatorship of the proletariat is purgatory. Communism is heaven. He wasn't talking about supply and demand but rather, preaching secular redemption.

Marxists mock the Bible as violent, yet Marx openly calls for terror: "We have no compassion and we ask no compassion from you. When our turn comes, we shall not make excuses for the terror… revolutionary terror."

The old world must be destroyed for the new world to be born.

He called for the "ruthless criticism of all that exists." He admired Mephistopheles' line: "Everything that exists deserves to perish." The Manifesto declares its ends can be achieved only through the "forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions."

This is not reform. It's a call for social annihilation.

Now consider Marx the man. In 1837, he wrote: "Thus Heaven I've forfeited… my soul… is chosen for Hell." His own father asked whether his heart was governed by "a demon." A Prussian police report described a man who drank heavily, rarely washed, was covered in boils, and kept no regular sleep.

He called for the abolition of inheritance while living off family money and Engels for decades. He called for the abolition of the family while his own household fell apart — an affair with the housekeeper, an unacknowledged child, two daughters who would later take their own lives.

Marx hated the world as it was. So he built a doctrine that sanctified destroying it.
