The Communistic Apocalypse According to Saint Marx

Modern man has imbibed deeply from such apocalyptic wells, even to the point of subdividing human history into various epochs leading to a future progressive goal that is rooted in the biblical tradition...

At its core, Marxism is a secularized form of Christian eschatology that goes far afield from its so-called economic and scientific basis that Marx proudly touted. Karl Marx’s false prophecies, written in the 19th century, amalgamated an extreme ‘literal’ socio-economic reading of life together with the so-called ‘scientific’ laws of ‘progressive’ societal evolution – both of which are indefensibly based on Judeo-Christian eschatological assumptions. With regard to the problem of fundamentalism, Christians need to learn to put the shoe on the other foot.

The Judeo-Christian Eschatological Basis for Marxist Millenarianism

Modern progressivism, belief in human progress, various brands of western socialism, and even communism itself, are all steeped in a modern philosophy of history that is deeply rooted in the apocalyptic Judeo-Christian tradition.[5] This is borne out by the fact that many socialist and political scholars often presume that the historical future itself is redemptive. While many have rejected the biblical worldview, they still believe and look forward to a hopeful and progressive future when all of the ills of society and the world will be ameliorated through some form of socialist and/or collectivist political transformation. While some may emphasize the gradual perfectibility of man over time like socialism often does, others, like Marxism, emphasize a more drastic, apocalyptic, even chiliastic view of history.
