Paleo-Christians are the true followers of Jesus the Dharma Master. Thus, rather than overtly identifying themselves with the relative label of “Christians,” along with all the negative, imprudent connotations that this word’s modern usage implies, sincere followers of Jesus are probably more accurately described as followers of Sanatana Dharma (the Eternal Natural Way), and specifically as followers of Jesus — the Dharma Master (one of many) as their guru and spiritual master.
Islam
Islam (literally “Submission” in Arabic) takes a radically dichotomous view of the world. Like the rest of Abrahamism, it separates the world into the two distinct categories. In the case of Islam, these two categories consist of the believers (Dar al-Islam) and the infidels (Dar al-harb). Islam is inherently imperialistic, hateful, radically egalitarian, and violent by scriptural design.[18] Islam is anti-life and anti-human. It stands for the enslavement of all non-Muslims — and especially women.[19] For the last 1400 years of our history, and extending up to the very present moment, Islam has been, and remains, one of the most dangerous and brutal threats to the totality of civilized culture.
Muhammad (570–632), the founder of Islam, designed his own version of Abrahamism to be nothing more than an ideology of Arab nationalism and imperialism in the guise of religiosity. Islam is an ideology that teaches the use of murder, terror and unprovoked war to spread its ideology. It is an ideology that wants to oppress women in a manner that would make even the most conservative Westerner recoil in horror.
Islam is a direct religious extension specifically of Old Testament Judaism. Historians of religion all agree, and the prophet of Islam himself tells us in his own words, that originally Muhammad was inspired directly by the Old Testament for the concoction of his new faith. He saw Islam as the perfect continuation of Judaism. The Qur’an was most directly inspired by the Old Testament, not the New Testament, which is why the book is so incredibly harsh and bloodthirsty. He does mention Jesus in the Qur’an, but as a rather minor character, and as only one of many previous prophets.
Islamic dietary laws are derived directly from Old Testament standards. Like Jews, Muslims do not eat pork. Their meat is prepared in the same manner as the Jewish kosher guidelines — the poor animal has its throat slit while still alive, and is hung upside down until the blood slowly drains out (all this while the animal is conscious, writhing in agony). In Judaism this technique of religious food preparation is considered kosher, in Islam it is called halal. Other than the difference in terminology, however, the process is exactly the same.
Initially, Muhammad’s principal target for preaching and conversion was the various Jewish tribes of the Arabian peninsula. He felt that they would be his natural first audience, since his new cult was so directly inspired by theirs. In order to prove to them that he was merely practicing “perfected” Old Testament Abrahamism (i.e., Judaism), Mohammad at first told his followers to pray toward Jerusalem five times a day — not Mecca! It was only after he realized that the Jews were never going to convert to his new cult, and that they saw him as no more than a heretical tyrant, that he became infuriated and changed the direction of prayer toward Mecca rather than Jerusalem.[20] To this day, all Muslims must pray five times a day toward this Arab city. Islam, one could say, is nothing more and nothing less than Abrahamism on a massive quantity of steroids.
Islam is an alien, inherently oppressive, violent and hateful religious ideology. The amount of destruction wrought upon so many hundreds of Dharmic cultures that was experienced at the hands of Islam, ranging from the Middle East and Persia to India and Indonesia, boggles human comprehension.
Throughout Western history as well, Islam has threatened European sovereignty multiple times with violent invasion. Spain, southern France, Malta, very large parts of Eastern Europe, Serbia, Greece, Constantinople and other European lands were brutally conquered by Muslim invaders. As a result, millions of Europeans were slaughtered, maimed, or forced at the point of a sword to renounce their indigenous faiths and convert to this violent Arab religion. European girls and women were kidnapped by invading Muslim hordes in order to be sold as sexual slaves to lascivious Muslim men, never to be seen by their grieving families again.
Today, sadly, Americans lag pitifully behind our European brethren in fully understanding the nature of this destructive and imperialistic pseudo-faith. Europeans are facing the often violent “Islamization” of their beautiful European cultures. Europe has been drowned in a tidal wave of 30 million aggressive Muslim “immigrants” who are subverting all that is good, beautiful and indigenously European in most of the European nations today.
As a proud and free people, do we want to see the beautiful faces of our wives, sisters and daughters disappear forever, never to be seen again, behind the stifling darkness of a niqab? Do we want to be forced to be deprived of the freedom to pray — or not pray — in the manner we wish, and to be forced upon pain of death to pray facing toward Mecca? Should Indo-European people be praying toward an Arabian religious site? Do we want all our beautifully developed Indo-European languages replaced by the horribly ugly guttural[21] Arabic language? Do we want to see the entire body of Indo-European art created by our brilliant ancestors over the last 5200 years irreparably destroyed because aesthetically inane Muslims consider any depiction of the human form to be idolatry?
The ideology of Islam is diametrically opposed to everything Natural Law, human civilization and Dharma Nationalism stands for. If we are going to spare our children and future generations from this dire threat of Islamic hegemony, we will need to thoroughly educate ourselves concerning the history of non-Muslims’ previous horrific encounters with Islamic oppression, and about what the actual origins and beliefs of Islam are. The more we educate ourselves about the true nature of Islam, the more frightening we discover this threat actually is to our very existence.
Marxism
Marxism is arguably the most monstrously destructive and morally reprehensible worldview the world has ever known. The perpetual violence that has been instigated by Marxist movements, totalitarian Communist dictatorships, bloody guerrilla campaigns, and terrorist bloodshed has been responsible for more deaths and suffering during the twentieth century than any other rival ideology of that era, including that caused by National Socialism. Marxism has led to the destruction of cultures, the dehumanization and misery of large segments of the global population, and the degeneration of the human spirit. Marxism is an atheistic and materialistic philosophy that views human beings as purely mechanistic and utilitarian automatons devoid of any character. For Marxists, human persons are to be reduced, both philosophically and in practice, to nothing more than soulless and bland laborers, whose existence only has meaning in direct proportion to their degree of utility for, and enslavement to, the state.
Karl Marx was a German citizen of Jewish descent who in his youth had been interested in the views of the German idealist philosopher and theologian Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. Though Hegel’s philosophical system was theistic, and most of his followers at that time were themselves primarily religious individuals, Marx’s introduction to Hegel’s thought was via the Young Hegelians, a group dedicated to misusing Hegel’s philosophical methods to undermine and eradicate religious thought itself, rather than uphold it. The two primary leaders of the Young Hegelians were Ludwig Feuerbach (1804–1872) and Bruno Bauer (1809–1882).
Karl Marx had initially (pre-1844) subscribed to the Feuerbachian program of the critique of religion. While he continued to employ the notion of a philosophical anthropology — the attempt to discern the human meaning behind every experience — he went further than Ludwig Feuerbach with his attempt to perform a critique of political economy. In the following section, we will briefly examine what led Marx to attempt such a critique, and talk about the ways in which political economy is thoroughly resistant to such a Marxist critique.
Fueurbach and t
he Young Hegelians felt that the very apex of both the philosophical and the theological enterprises had been achieved by Hegelianism and German Lutheranism, respectively. Thus, in their monumentally insular view, the end of the philosophic enterprise had suddenly commenced in their lifetime.[22] Now, the only project left was the creation of a philosophical anthropology — an attempt to show that all philosophical ideas were dependent upon what is essentially human in the purely biological, behavioral sense. Once a general account of humanity would be attained, so their belief went, then such an account could be applied to all things. The primary tool of this project was the use of the process of criticism, which would purportedly reveal the inner workings of any object under observation.
The Young Hegelians, including Feuerbach and Marx, had applied this process of critique to the nature of the theology of the so-called Right Hegelians, who were primarily Lutheran theologians loyal to Hegel’s theistic philosophical underpinnings. Feuerbach, specifically, felt that religion was merely an unreal projection of essential, alienated humanity. Furthermore, for Feuerbach, God was no more than something created by human beings, and actually represented the conceptual personification of what were, in actuality, very human traits. By critiquing God and religion, Feuerbach thought, a greater knowledge of human beings could be attained. Marx would later fervently agree with this general premise.
While Feuerbach felt that there was at least a trans-historical human essence, however, Marx felt that such an idea was too much of a concession to the “metaphysical,” and that man’s essence was only ever revealed under real world, materialist conditions. Human beings, for Marx, are in essence and primordially producers and makers. Work, for Marx, was both the raison d’être and essential attributive nature of the human person. Therefore, in Marx’s account, self-actualization consisted in nothing more than having the freedom to perform meaningful work. Production, for Marx, was labor that is transformative towards creating a certain outcome, a praxis. Political economy was a body of theories formulated by the classical economists (such as Adam Smith) that sees human beings as essentially productive animals. Therefore, political economy — the realm of production and exchange — now became the central object of any Marxist critique.
The French Revolution supposedly succeeded in creating political emancipation, so Marx insisted, but state equality displaced inequality into the social sphere. In the social sphere, human beings were subject to an overwhelming sense of alienation. The proletariat was separated from what they essentially are — biologically-determined producers unleashed to create, as an expression of their own essence. Political economy was thus seen as nothing more than the projection of our collective human praxis. Instead of political economy serving human purposes, however, Marx felt that humanity was presently serving the needs of political economy. But the present political economy is nothing more than our own creation, so a human revolution was needed. In order to begin this purportedly emancipatory process, Marx felt that the economic system of his time needed to be translated into a philosophical anthropology.
Marx’s attempt to translate the critical program into political economy proved immediately problematic for three reasons. First, while God is immaterial, economies are very material; second, it was impossible at Marx’s juncture in history to imagine a world without alienated labor; and third, Marx used Adam Smith as his primary economic theorist, though many of Smith’s ideas no longer applied.
Thus, while Marx made the attempt to translate Fueurbach’s failed critique of religion into a critique of political economy, such an application was itself a complete failure, to say the least.
The Failures of Marxism
“We are ruthless and ask no quarter from you. When our turn comes we shall not disguise our terrorism.”
Karl Marx[23]
The failures of Marxism are legion and have been well documented for many decades by a wide variety of scholars, researchers, thinkers, economists and political scientists. Marxism eliminates all incentive for people to engage in any form of labor, whether intellectual, artistic or physical. By eliminating wages directly reflective of the value of an individual’s labor, people living under Marxist regimes are forced to work for a rationed amount of food and basic resources. Without a fair wage to work for, people naturally lose the motivation to work at all, thus leading to economic stagnation and a sense of hopelessness. We have seen such instances of economic failure in every Communist nation in history, and we are now beginning to see such economic breakdown occur in Europe and America as a direct result of the incremental introduction of crypto-Marxist economic policies.
A nation under the bondage of Marxism is destined to failure because such a state provides its people with no reason to strive for anything higher than being a faceless atom in the social mass. With no distinctions, diversity, hierarchy, or classes to order the varying social strata of society in a sane and reasonable manner, a doctor will be paid the same wage as a garbage collector, and a factory laborer has no hopes of ever earning a better life, even if he were to acquire a Ph.D. All people are paid equally for work that requires unequal levels of skill, talent, education and personal natural propensity, so the person who aspires to be a doctor has no motivation to go to school for many years of hard work only to be paid the same amount as someone who has not gone to school at all.
Marxism is predicated upon the idea of radical egalitarianism. Consequently, Marxists strive to utterly eliminate any sense of ethnic and national diversity, pride or celebration. The policy of eliminating a people’s natural and inherent sense of distinct cultural identity is designed to deprive people of any identity-sourced empowerment to dissent against the totalitarian, atheistic government. It is precisely for this reason that we must hold on to our ethnic and cultural identity at all costs, expressing a healthy pride in who we are, and in the ethnic heritage that made us who we are. Marxists, both those who have already gained power and those who seek to force their way into power in non-Marxist societies, promote and force ethnic amalgamation at the direct expense of ethnic diversity, often in the very name of ethnic diversity. We must never allow any government to eliminate the rich and beautiful diversity of the many cultures, languages, ethnicities, races and unique peoples that make our world the fascinating and meaningful place it is.
Marxism enforces its own beliefs and forcefully prevents all free speech that departs from their own belief system. Marxism is based upon fanaticism, hatred, doctrinaire closed-mindedness, dogmatic slogans, and blind faith in unsound historical, social and economic theories. Those found dissenting against the Marxist system are taken from their families and put into re-education centers or Gulags for merciless and systematic brainwashing. Those who continue to dissent are often summarily executed — in China, the victims’ families are billed for the bullets. The nightmarish Marxist model of the state represents the very opposite model of that presented by Dharma.
