The Devil and Karl Marx: Communism's Long March of Death, Deception, and Infiltration

Good book. Very informative. It arrived in great shape. Thank you.

Kengor is a true expert on this subject and one of the handful of people where I'll actively seek out their work to read and learn. This is book, The Devil and Karl Marx, is another solid Kengor effort. Lot's of important content here.The info on Marx, which covers roughly the first third of the book, goes a long way to confirming some of my own personal theories on the nature of Communism. IMO, Communism isn't so much a collection of economic policies, but a psychological phenomena, whereby losers and degenerates and resentful people take revenge and try to harm others. This book shows that Marx was a loser in his personal life and through an analysis of Marx's "literary work" that he did indeed like to see people destroyed and consistently worked with hellish imagery.The other point it shows is that Marx was intent on subverting Christianity. That is a theme that runs through the book. Concrete examples of how Marxists would focus on undermining Christianity and Christians.Another part that stood out to me as particularly important was the last section where Kengor goes through some more recent figures like Kate Millett and Wilhelm Reich who were founders of the morality which now dominates our society: feminism and so-called sexual freedom. One engaged in Maoist Communist rituals and the other was a sexual abuse victim who went on to practice bestiality. And the teachings of these people now define our society. Dear God!Oh yeah I also found the history on the founders of the ACLU, as well as the Foster-Fish Congressional testimony on the nature of the Communist Party of the United States particularly enlightening. I'm a sucker for that history of the origins of this movement in the United States.This book is good for anyone who wants to dig into Communism and gain a deeper understanding of what we are up against.

Don’t pay attention to the gaslighting reviewers who rate this book to be worthless and who condescendingly question the intelligence of readers offering positive reviews. This book is very well researched! The author supplies copious references and notes to reliable and trustworthy sources like depositions by sympathetic and non-sympathetic (= defectors from the cause) socialists before Congress, sworn affidavits, numerous secondary literature from those, like Lenin, who are sympathetic to Marx, as well a great number of defectors from communist countries who wrote memoirs, in addition to a numerous citations and quotations from the works of Karl Marx and Frederick Engels and sympathetic, scholarly writers who interpret their ideas through biographies, commentaries, and literary criticism. There’s a lot here not to like, which has nothing to do with the author’s scholarship or the intelligence of the positive reviewers of this work. What’s not to like in this book is the bloody truth about the twisted, mendacious toxicity unleashed on the world through the activities and works of Karl Marx, Frederick Engels, and others like Lenin, Pol Pot, Joseph Stalin, and Mao who took their ideas and implemented them in history. The millions of dead, tortured, maimed, murdered, and killed tells the real story. This is what’s not to like about this book. As Alexandr Solzhenitsyn said in his famous Harvard address: “truth seldom is pleasant.” So, don’t allow the negative reviewers to dissuade you from buying and reading this unpleasant book which tells the truth about Karl Marx and all those inspired by his writings. Karl Marx’s conception of dialectical materialism and the revolutionary movements inspired by it have left a trail of death and destruction that are a matter of historical record! No amount of gaslighting can make the historical record go away, a record aptly attested to, albeit unpleasant, in this book. The thought police are well documented in this book and they are out in droves today as well, coercing others to think like themselves, or else. This is the way of Karl Marx, unpleasant because true. Buy this book and learn to reclaim your own mind and way of thinking from the social coercion and collective tyranny inspired by the writings of Karl Marx and his practitioners whose governments and movements institutionalized criminal behavior, as Paul Kengor’s impeccable research here demonstrates. The historical record is beyond dispute, and well attested in this book, and no amount of gaslighting can make it go away.

This book was recommended to me by a pastor friend of mine. I had a brief understanding of communism and socialism but had no idea about its origins and how destructive and truly evil it is to the core. This book is extremely well documented from both communist sources and church sources. It is fair and balanced research on a topic that is honestly as dark as you can get. I would strongly recommend reading the endnotes as you read the body of the text as there is a lot of additional information in them. If you are curious about the roots of what is happening in the world today, this is an excellent place to start. It is a wake up call for sure. I will caution that it is a very difficult read - not the words, but the depth and topics covered shine light into some very dark corners that make it hard to believe humanity could truly sink to those depths. I highly recommend this book.

I thought the first section that focused on Marx to be very good. It did a good job of showing the world what sort of man he really was. The next section spent too much time praising the Catholics fight against Communism. That was too long! I wanted to be equipped in confronting Communism better. I didn't get that I felt. I guess I was bugged because I was taught that we were to extol the virtues of Jesus even over a church.

This book is thoroughly researched and Paul Kengor presents much evidence to substantiate the claims that he makes. The book is well written, in a clear, precise style, which makes this work easy to read. It is a complex subject, so this is no easy feat. The material is also presented chronologically, which again makes it easy to follow.This book adds much to the actual understanding of Marxism and lays bare its true nature and objectives.I highly recommend it to millenials, who, as many surveys have shown, view socialism more favorably than capitalism, without having a real understanding of its destructive force in every society where it has been implemented. An understanding of the true foundations of communism/ socialism and cultural Marxism is the essential antidote to the menacing hold that it now has on Western societies. This book is a must read for anyone concerned about what is now happening in free nations everywhere.

I dont want to write too much, so I will only say:Well done research with only one mistake / oversight into the nature of socialist communism. Also talks about some of the insane behaviour the believers of these ideology show and the contradictions they believe. Even Hegel and his dialectic are mentioned, which is important to what we can see happening today.The one mistake I eluded too is the claim that Marx and his followers are atheistic. As the author correctly stated, Marx and other socialists have a weird affinity with christianity, mostly satan.What I mean is if you look deep enough you will find that socialists are gnostic cultists, they are an inversion of jewish and christian values and mostly of god. They believe that god is evil, maybe even a demon and created the world and our bodies even as a prison. This is why they believe that they can go against human nature and our biology.The socialist themselves are sparks of the true god and if all humans follow this hidden truth (greek: gnosis = knowledge) then we will become this god once more. That is also where "woke" came from, it is hidden knowledge of something.

This is a very well written informative book and packed full of factual knowledge a very good buy.

Marx, plus que tout autre en fut un. Certes, ce livre et celui d'un croyant en guerre contre le marxisme. Le parti pris pour la religion est évident. Cependant, il apporte un éclairage très puissant sur les aspects maléfiques qui n'en parlent pas moins à un agnostique. On y apprends beaucoup sur ce personnage et ses affidés.

Through a systematic exposition, Kengor builds a solid case that Marxism is itself the “opiate of humanity”, the darkest of religions more fundamental and infinitely more dangerous. If you wonder why the world has slipped into a moral and ethical abyss Kengor’s tome tells why.
