Transcript of the above video: 

Every now and again I like to make a video where after I've read an article or I've seen something that I just want the comment on, I convey myself in doing that because fortunately for us we have to kill time on this channel from time to time. So that said, I thought of making this video after reading a recent article from Zero Hedge, that is zerohedge.com, the article is titled: 'Beneath Sheep's Clothing': Communism's Capture Of America.

Now I urge those who are watching this video, go read that article in detail; there's a lot going on in there. I'm going to one line here because it just distilled to me the issue with Marxism. Quoting directly: "There's a misconception, critical race theory critic James Lindsey suggests, that Karl Marx put forth an economic doctrine. In truth he put forth a totalitarian "religion" that forces people to remake themselves into what they're not." Yes, this is the key, and this is what people don't understand when I get upset about Communism and Marxism is because it's so pernicious because it sneaks in as an ostensible ideology but it's not an ideology, it's not political thinking, it's not political philosophy, it is religion. Again, quoting again: "Remake themselves into what they're not." People have to remake themselves into what they're not. Each according to his ability, each according to his needs, and we make you give up, if you have the ability, your produce or some fraction thereof that we arbitrarily decide and give it to those who are "in need"; we're making you charitable. 

Now there are those who would retort, "well you can go down to the local church and you'll find all kinds of people that will want to make you into a charitable person, or a holy person or a pious person, whatever." Yeah we call those religions. We know what those are. We know how to deal with those as a society. But when a religion comes along that masquerades both as some high-falutin economic theory as well as a political doctrine, that's really pernicious and scary, because people aren't viewing it for what it is. The exact same people, most of whom will march around, burn down buildings, do all kinds of stuff in the name of Marxism or whatever, would never dream of doing that for religion because a lot of them have a problem with religion and they will quote Marx saying, “Oh, it's the opiate of the masses and all these other things”, but meanwhile they are doing the exact same thing. 

I have often referred to Marxism as the anti-God. I may put that as the thumbnail actually; in fact I will. The anti-God and it's from the movie, it is one of the Mission Impossibles, it was when Simon Pegg became sort of whatever the Mission Impossible equivalent to Q was in the sort of James Bond universe, Simon Pegg comes in, he actually talks in this one scene about the notion of an anti-God but they're chasing after this Macguffin that's like a virus that is going to kill everybody or something, whatever, it's one of the Mission Impossibles, but he's talking about it and he says, well we had this theory of an anti- God. In many ways, that's what Marxism is in its perniciousness, because it's a religion that ultimately results in terrible outcomes which we can study from the '80s; the end of the USSR; the end of a lot of the other socialist regimes that were in Eastern Europe as well as throughout Asia as well, and we now know a pernicious they can be, we now know quite honestly brutal, bloody, how life could be nasty, brutish and short under those circumstances, in those jurisdictions. We know all of this. There is no question about it now, but they marched into it very much under a rubric of what can only be described as religion. And this is why I get so upset about it is because I see it, oftentimes it's real close like when - well I won't go into details specific to Thailand - but if you watched my last videos in the last 6 months or so you can definitely see we have had our own brush with it. 

The point of trying to make is I have such a real problem with it because of how it presents itself in what it actually is. And this line here in Zero Hedge just sort of encapsulated all of it and that is why I made this video. That said, I'll certainly be continuing to make videos more for the most part in sort of substantive more “dry” if you will legal stuff, but every now and then I will do something where I just sort of talk from the hip about how I see things. And unfortunately, when it comes to Marxism, I just view it like just one of the most innocuously, deadly ideologies if you will, or religions to just continue in the vein of this video, that I think I've ever seen, precisely because it's not viewed as a religion.
