Communism From the Inside
The reason why I’m bring articles and books about Communism to this blog is to inform those who still think that “Communism is dead.” No, it’s not. Nor is it just in places like China and North Korea. Communism is now part of democracy. Maybe is should be called “demonocracy” (I word that I coined). Also, what should be called Communist is now given the misnomer of Nazi. This is done deliberate by some people and by ignorance by others. This is done from the highest political office all the way down to those who profess to be truth-seekers or conservative Christians.
When you read this and other books on Communism think about what was written many years ago and what is happening now in our so-called “free society”. Such as the Communist aim to destroying the family. This was never done in National Socialist Germany. In fact, just the opposite was done as they did everything possible to support Christian family values. Read this, and future books, to be posted, and you be the judge.
“Communism from the Inside” delves into the intricate workings of Communism, offering a critical analysis of its core principles and impact on society. The author, Douglas A. Hyde, draws from his personal experience as a former member of the Communist Party to provide a firsthand account of the ideology’s allure and pitfalls. Through a series of reflections and critiques, Hyde sheds light on the inner workings of Communism and its implications for individuals and society at large.
Hyde begins by exploring the fundamental tenets of Communism, highlighting its atheistic nature and the quest to dismantle traditional beliefs in God. He emphasizes the militant atheism inherent in Communist doctrine, which seeks to eradicate all forms of religious faith and replace them with a materialistic worldview. This rejection of spiritual beliefs forms the foundation of Communist ideology, shaping its approach to morality, ethics, and social organization.
The book delves into key Marxist theories on family, marriage, and social relationships, revealing a stark contrast to traditional values. Hyde references the works of Marx and Engels to illustrate their critiques of bourgeois marriage as legalized prostitution and their advocacy for the dissolution of traditional family structures. He highlights the disruptive impact of Communist ideals on societal norms, particularly in relation to personal behavior and moral standards.
Furthermore, Hyde explores the role of dialectical materialism in shaping Communist thought and political campaigns. He discusses how Marx and Engels viewed religion as a reflection of external forces controlling daily life, labeling it as the “opium of the people.” Lenin’s application of Marxist teachings to the Russian revolution further underscores the Communist stance on religion as a hindrance to human progress.
The author also touches upon the implications of Communism on individual freedoms and societal norms. He critiques the Communist morality as inherently immoral, aiming to undermine established institutions like marriage and family. Hyde’s firsthand experience within the Communist Party provides valuable insights into the inner workings of the ideology and its impact on personal beliefs and behaviors.
In conclusion, “Communism from the Inside” offers a compelling exploration of Communism’s core principles, moral implications, and societal impact. Through a blend of personal anecdotes, theoretical analysis, and historical context, Douglas A. Hyde provides a nuanced perspective on the challenges and controversies surrounding Communist ideology. The book serves as a thought-provoking examination of a complex and influential political philosophy, shedding light on its allure, contradictions, and lasting legacy in the modern world.
