Whittaker Chambers, Communism, and Intelligent Design

[Agit8r]

Family, and having loved ones, is the very antithesis of atheistic communism.
We see that in Whittaker Chambers' case....




1. To carry that idea forward, the welfare state, with Big Government replacing a need for a father in the home, results in family dissolution, and a lessening of the need/desire for religion.

We see that in the Scandinavian countries which pioneered the no family, no children plan.
" The lowest European figure for household size is for Sweden, with 1.9 persons per household in2002 (Eurostat 2004)."

2. Mary Eberstadt, scholar at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution, has posited in her book "How The West Really Lost God," that the trend of dissolution of family, is the main reason for the decline of religion.

In her view, the image and characterization of the father at the head of the family was a reflection of Judeo-Christianity. And, the growth of the solitaire lifestyle, and specifically, single-mother family, varies, inversely, with religious faith. As she says, familial illiteracy equals religious illiteracy.

a. According to Eberstadt, Judeo-Christian religion is based on a loving, compassionate God, and that concept required one to understand a father-figure in that light. Therefore, non-traditional families, many with no father in the home, are "religiously illiterate," as are the ever-increasing number of families who choose not to have children. After all, Christianity is based on the birth of a child.

3.There is proof that the welfare state, perhaps in substituting for the role of father and provider, causes family dissolution.

And who would really care? Oh that's right, those "communists"

"The National Government will regard it as its first and foremost duty to revive in the nation the spirit of unity and co-operation. It will preserve and defend those basic principles on which our nation has been built. It regards Christianity as the foundation of our national morality, and the family as the basis of national life"
-- Adolf Hitler; from national proclamation (Feb. 1, 1933)

"Whereas previously the programs of the liberal, intellectualist women's movements contained many points, the program of our National Socialist Women's movement has in reality but one single point, and that point is the child, that tiny creation which must be born and grow strong and which alone gives meaning to the whole life-struggle"
-- Adolf Hitler; from speech to the National Socialist Women’s League (Sept. 8, 1934)

"We were convinced that the people need and require this faith. We have therefore undertaken the fight against the atheistic movement, and that not merely with a few theoretical declarations: we have stamped it out."
-- Adolf Hitler, from speech in Berlin (October 24, 1933)

 

[PoliticalChic]

But few reflect on this: why isn't the reference 'grammar Communist' or 'Soup Communist'?

Of course we do use terms like the COMMISAR of whatever, (a communist reference) or the CZAR of something-or-other (as Russian reference)

But when it comes to the definition of evil, HITLER IS STILL NUMERIO UNO.

Not that he should be, there's plenty as evil as he, but he's the guy.

FWIW back in the 19th century NAPOLEON was the monster of choice

I suppose if I were totally ignorant of the subject, I might say the same thing.
That is if I were lazy enough to guess rather than research.



1. "Early socialists publicly advocated genocide, in the 19th and 20th centuries. It first appeared in Marx's journal, Rheinishe Zeitung, in January of 1849. 'When the socialist class war happens, there will be primitive societies in Europe, two stages behind- not even capitalist yet- the Basques, the Bretons, the Scottish Highlanders, the Serbs, and others he calls 'racial trash,' and they will have to be destroyed because, being two stages behind in the class struggle, it will be impossible to bring them up to being revolutionary."
George Watson, Historian, Cambridge University.


a. "The classes and races, too weak to master the new conditions of life, must give way...they must perish in the revolutionary holocaust." Karl Marx, People's Paper, April 16, 1856, Journal of the History of Idea, 1981


b. "Before Marx, no other European thinker publically advocated racial extermination. He was the first." George Watson.



2. A year after Lenin's death, 1924, the NYTimes published a small article about a newly established party in Germany, the National Socialist Labor Party, which "...persists in believing that Lenin and Hitler can be compared or contrasted...Dr. Goebell's....assertion that Lenin was the greatest man second only to Hitler....and that the difference between communism and the Hitler faith was very slight...." November 27, 1925.



3.. Shortly thereafter the Nazis found it more useful to stress differences, and the earlier campaign posters showing similarities disappeared, posters with both the hammer and sickle and the swastika.


a. "Hitler often stated that he learned much from reading Marx, and the whole of National Socialism is doctrinally based on Marxism."
George Watson, Historian, Cambridge.

b. "Socialists in Germany were national socialists, communists were international socialists." Vladimir Bukovsky.



Stalin killed 20 million of his own citizens.






In short....Hitler was, by any metric, the junior partner in evil.

Stalin was the CEO.
