Exposing the Intellectual Fraud of Marxist Socialism

 “’But [the Emperor] hasn’t got any clothes,’ said the little boy. ‘He’s all bare.’” (Hans Christian Anderson’s, The Emperor’s New Clothes) 

               The largest stars that scientists have discovered are so much bigger than our Sun that if one of them, say, Stephenson 2-18 (S-2-18), replaced it, Saturn’s orbit would occur inside it (8:52, 9:43).[1]  By comparison, our Sun is as small as “a grain of dust.” (9:22).  S-2-18 could easily impress us by its size.  Yet only a much smaller Sun like our own has the capacity to provide the very conditions we earthlings need in order to exist and indeed thrive.[2]  By contrast, “supergiant star,” S-2-18 is on its “death-bed.”  Having consumed most all of its gas, it lacks the gravity needed to keep holding its’ remains together.  So it will soon collapse into a “supernova” explosion that will blow its’ remains out into space.  No more S-2-18!

               Similarly, Marxist Socialism (MS) today in America is parading itself as an ominous force for cultural overthrow that is accelerating with apparently unstoppable momentum.  Despite the 20^th  Cen-tury’s track record of failure across Asia (which todays “academics” suppress),[3] socialism is capturing the hearts of 40% of Americans aged 20 to 40.  Nevertheless, the alleged gravitas behind that boast-filled parade, is illusory.  MS dogma is no more substantial than a house of cards for the reason that it is actually NOT premised on a body of facts, but on assumptions of flawed “dead white men” (Rousseau, Hegel, Marx…)[4] that were based on now-discredited science (see below).  To give examples, three of its vulnerabilities include first its dogmatic commitment to philosophical materialism.  This faith position insists that reality consists only of physical entities.  That is, there is no God or gods, angels, demons, or souls.[5]  Yet this worldview is refuted in part by the scientific discovery that the universe began out of nothing from the Big Bang (BB).[6]  So only God could have cause it!  Second, MS judges that Darwinian evolutionary progress (DEP) is the very means by which nature progresses toward completion.  Yet DEP DEP can only possibly work within the context of matter and living creatures that already exist!  For this reason, it cannot explain progress prior to the first life, which in itself is unexplained.[7]  Third, this DEP paradigm also assumes that humans will ultimately be perfected whenever the elusive state of utopia is reached.  Yet I must simply reply that, looking back on the last hundred years, its’ landslide of historical evidence utterly refutes that naïve belief that human nature is progressing ever closer to perfection.[8] 

The failure of the above dogmas highlight straight-forward rebuttals to MS theory.  To make matters worse, the strategies I list below even further betray MS as an intellectual fraud.  For these reasons, their only means for MS to stave off structural toppling is to impose the following measures:

·        Restrict media and news content

·        Censor both “unacceptable” points of view and events that damage its cause

·        Buffer State leaders from scrutiny

·        Refuse debate over opposing views

·        Enforce the State as "moral" authority

·        Enforce a materialist worldview

·        Enforce propagandistic rhetoric  

·        Resist scrutiny of government schemes

·        Severely punish dissidents

Although MS’s momentum could imply that their ideas are superior; it is only due to intellectual fraud.
