Marxian Religion and their Woke Inquisitors

To quote Monty Python, “Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.” And, indeed, the inquisition is here, today, embodied in the Woke left. As I’ve pointed out in the past, Marxism and Socialism are more akin to a religious cult than to a political movement. And this is intentional. Antonio Gramsci, a forerunner of cultural Marxism said as much.

“Socialism is precisely the religion that must overwhelm Christianity. … In the new order, Socialism will triumph by first capturing the culture via infiltration of schools, universities, churches and the media by transforming the consciousness of society.” (Antonio Gramsci, ‘Audacia e Fide’ in Avanti!; reprinted in Sotto la Mole, 1916-1920, p. 148)

Does this “new order” sound like anything you’ve witnessed in the last few years?

As stated above, the goal of Socialism to replace God with the State and Christianity with Marxian ideology. And what’s more troubling is that this latest brand of Marxism colloquially called “Wokism,” has infiltrated many of our churches, as well as our institutions. Nevertheless, once we understand Wokism as a religious cult then every insane thing we’ve witnessed over the last few years begins to make sense.

In this light, Lucas Miles has written a timely book to help us see this titled, “The Christian Left: How Liberal Thought Has Highjacked the Church.” Miles decodes the theology of the progressive left and gives a fascinating history lesson on how we got to where we are today.

As Miles explains the left’s progressive tenets this way: “Their god is the state, their sanctuary is the environment, and their worship is sexuality.”

This is just one of the many reasons why I say that Socialism (along with all of its Marxist offshoots) is an antichrist religion. Sad to say, these cult-like ideologies have already infected many of our young people. Consider the following from an (left-leaning) Axios poll:

“In an Axios poll from October 2019 of 2,100 American respondents, 70 percent of millennials surveyed and 64 percent of Gen Z said they would vote for a socialist candidate. A May 2020 Vice article on Gen Z political leanings headlines the quote of a college student who said, “It’s much more stigmatized to say you’re a capitalist, in my experience.” (from “Will Gen-Z Make America Socialist” —Pacific Research Institute.*)

The reason people get duped by Wokism is because they don’t understand it, and because they don’t know the historical background that led to this insidious ideology. For instance, in a fascinating interview with Joshua Philipp on “Crossroads” on Epoch TV (subscription-based), Miles connected the Woke movement to Gnostic heresies.

“The Gnostics were essentially people that believed that Jesus actually came to save us from Jehovah. So they believed that Jehovah, the father God, oppressed mankind through creation, and that Jesus came to liberate us from that oppression. In fact, the Manichees [later form of Gnostism] had a name for Jesus—the Luminous. And the reason they called him Jesus the Luminous is because they said he woke Adam.” (from “Wokeism Is the Inquisition of a Socialist Cult: Lucas Miles”, Crossroads with Joshua Philipp, Epoch TV)

With this religious cult, virtue signaling is the new morality and Woke cancel culture is the new inquisition. And like the Spanish Inquisition, they silence you into submission through fear and punishment for any disagreement to their ideology.

Historically, Marxism has destroyed every culture where it’s allowed to take over. Miles’s book is one of many good books coming out recently that gives us vital information so that we can understand what happening and effectively fight against this evil ideology. Here’s an interview with Miles explaining how the book came about.
