For two centuries, Marxists have debated and fought each other over a salient point: should they patiently wait for the supposed contradictions of free market capitalism to naturally usher in their communist Utopia? Or should they actively promote societal conditions that speed the "Revolution" and their beloved "Fundamental transformation" along? So sure of Marx's conception of historical materialism and its determinative impact on humanity's future, plenty of nineteenth and twentieth-century intellectuals urged steady restraint.
Just like the Jonestown Massacre in Guyana, Marxism requires everyone to "Drink the Kool-Aid." And just as with Jim Jones's astonishing cult, Marxism always leads to "Revolutionary suicide." Marxists cannot square their practical failures with Marx's theoretical promises yet stubbornly refuse to learn from the contradiction.
Karl Kautsky - a devout Marxist, colleague of Friedrich Engels, and influential theorist for Germany's Social Democratic Party - excoriated Vladimir Lenin's socialist revolution in Russia: "Among the phenomena for which Bolshevism has been responsible, Terrorism, which begins with the abolition of every form of freedom of the Press, and ends in a system of wholesale execution, is certainly the most striking and the most repellent of all." Unable to accept that violence is inextricably linked to Marxism, Kautsky echoed the naïve complaint that history cannot be "Hurried." History's "Speed," however, has never been the source of Marxism's violence.
What is important to understand is that the various Western projects active today all reflect this long conflict among Marxists about the best way to achieve their "Revolution." Sure, there still remain a few residual peaceniks in the faculty lounge who believe - as Kautsky did - that human societies will naturally evolve into Marxist Utopias and "Equitable" communes from the sheer deterministic forces of historical materialism.
Standing somewhere in the middle - for the time being, at least - are the great majority of governmental and non-governmental forces pushing demonstrable forms of Marxist socialism under the guise of public policies ostensibly meant to advance environmentalism, mass migration, pandemic preparedness, minority rights, or "Sustainable" economic development in impoverished communities.
Every perceived global problem provides Marxist socialists with an opportunity to "Solve" that problem by constructing financial and governmental institutions that advance their "Revolution." They believe that they can "Speed up" the "Progression" of human history by creating painful conditions that justify communism's architecture.
The vast majority of globalists who run central banks, newsrooms, intelligence agencies, administrative departments, legislative assemblies, religious nonprofits, and too many corporate boardrooms are all "True believers." Make no mistake, when these Marxist globalists conclude that an increasingly popular resistance force within Western society threatens their "Long march" toward domination, they will not throw up their hands in defeat, shrug, and concede, "Well, that's democracy." In their twisted totalitarian minds, only ideological allies merit "Democratic" respect or civil rights protections; ideological foes deserve dictatorial force and bloody despotism.
