The Communists Have Been Slowly Taking Over the Institutions of This Nation for the Last Hundred Years. Now, They Appear Ready to Make a Push for Complete Control of the Country

As Christians, our primary concern should be our spiritual needs not just our material needs such as food, water, fuel, etc. Sure, we need to eat to survive, but as our Lord told the devil, “Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.” After all, what good is it to live a long, healthy life with a full belly only to die the second death, perishing in the flames of Hell? You might have a bunker under your house with enough food, toilet paper, and guns to equip a company of Marines, but in the end, none of that will matter if you are not spiritually prepared.  

In the chaotic world we live in, a catastrophic event could come from just about anywhere, but the one that I want to focus on in this article is a Communist takeover of America. Breitbart recently reported an open letter signed by over 120 retired generals and admirals warning of just that. The letter stated in part:

No one who has been paying attention could doubt the reality of this threat to our country. The communists have been slowly taking over the institutions of this nation for the last hundred years. Now, they appear ready to make a push for complete control of the country. They do not always call themselves Marxists, or Communists, or Socialists, but their goal is the same—to create a Soviet America.  

In The Communist Manifesto, Karl Marx spoke of the ten steps by which the communists intended to accomplish their goal of “revolutionizing the mode of production,” which in the end would destroy Christianity and eventually the family structure:

1. Abolition of property and land, and application of all rents of land to public purposes.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
3. Abolition of all right of inheritance.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the state by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.
6. Centralization of the means of communication and the means of transport in the hands of the state.
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state; bringing into cultivation of wastelands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
8. Equal liability of all to labor. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more equitable distribution of the population over the country.
10. Free education for all children in public schools

Karl Marx’s communist vision was displacing or dethroning God as the creative intelligence of the world and destroying free enterprise. Under the philosophy of Karl Marx, the communists announced that they were on their way to turning the world into a paradise.  But they failed to fulfill their promises of a better life for the masses.

Instead, millions were slaughtered while others were kept in slave labor camps that Solzhenitsyn described as the gulag archipelago. These concentration camps worked millions of people to the point of disease, starvation, and even death. We have FEMA camps for that now that are prepared and waiting to do just that.

They conquered Eastern Europe, China, North Vietnam, North Korea, Cuba, Uganda, Ethiopia, as well as other nations. They promised a prosperous society. All who resisted and disagreed with this utopia were murdered. Before the world woke up, one-third of the earth’s population was captured and fell under the control of the communist world dictatorship.

In 1956, the Communist leader of the Soviet Union Nikita Khrushchev delivered this quote at a press conference: “We will take America without firing a shot. We do not have to invade the U.S.; we will destroy you from within.” And in 1959, he said: “We can’t expect American people to jump from Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders by feeding them small doses of socialism until they awaken one day to find they already have communism.”

In 1966, Cloward and Piven, two Sociology professors at Columbia University introduced a strategy to eliminate poverty by redistribution of wealth and create a political crisis that takes complete control of citizens through gradual implementation of Socialism/Communism. Here is their recipe:

Control a nation’s healthcare and you control the people. (Obamacare, Universal healthcare, Single-payer healthcare)

Increase the level of poverty since people with no means are easier to control. (Enforce restrictions, regulations, fines, and laws that eliminate jobs…COVID façade)

Increase the debt to unsustainable levels, then increase taxes and create more poverty.

Confiscate guns so the people cannot revolt. (Repeal 2nd Amendment…in progress)

Use government welfare to take control of every aspect of people’s lives: food, housing, and income.

Take control of what children are taught in school, and what people read, see and hear through media. 

Separate people from their religion and ridicule it. (Remove God from government and schools and even the pledge of allegiance to the flag.)

Divide the people with class warfare. (Fair Share, Free College, War on Women.)

Divide the people with race warfare. (Black Lives Matter)

Overload entitlement programs like welfare, food stamps, housing, and the VA until they collapse, and the chaos will allow socialist programs to be implemented.

This agenda matches the Democrat platform and has been insidiously taking over our Republic. Most of our Democrat self-elected official champions, these Socialist/Communist principals including Joe Biden/Kamala Harris. Socialism sounds good to those who want free healthcare, free college, and debt forgiveness.

But the funds ultimately come from taxpayers’ pockets, significantly increasing taxes and reducing the number of jobs businesses can afford. It also creates big government bureaucracies without oversight that greatly reduce the efficiency and effectiveness of services overall. It has always failed the population whenever tried in any country.

Socialism is an economic theory that advocates that all property and means of production, distribution, and exchange should be regulated by the community. This is the opposite of the free-enterprise system of Capitalism, where anyone can own property, run a business, and trade freely.

Communism is when property, production, distribution, and exchange are not only regulated but owned by a ruling class or government. Socialism leads to communism when elected officials and government agencies take control of the people. Communist societies ultimately control and oppress their people and limit access to essential commodities, like food and medical care.

I have not resigned myself to a Communist victory just yet, and I pray their revolution fails. However, as preppers, we should prepare for the worst. In this article, I suggest ways we can spiritually prepare for a Communist takeover.  

First, we need to understand what it is like for Christians living under a Communist regime. Mr. Kengor explains that “religion was viewed [by Marxists] as a dangerous and ubiquitous rival belief system. It was Marxism’s chief competitor for the mind of the working class.” Therefore, Christians in Communist countries are persecuted, subjugated, imprisoned, tortured, and often executed.

Lutheran pastor Richard Wurmbrand and his wife Sabina present an illuminating, albeit terrifying, case study as Christians surviving Communism. Their combined story can be found in the book Wurmbrand: Tortured for Christ: The Complete Story. 

In the book, Rev. Wurmbrand explains: “The Communists rigged elections with fraud and violence, taking total control of [Romania]. Opposition leaders, police officers, and civil servants were liquidated in a swift wave of terror. Then the Communists focused their sights on the church. Catholic bishops and countless clergy, monks, and nuns were targeted next. Tens of thousands of ordinary people disappeared, sent to jails and labor camps…No one’s life remained the same.” 

Are you prepared for that kind of terror? Are you prepared to have your loved ones taken by sadistic thugs working for a tyrannical government? Are you prepared to suffer daily through physical and mental anguish? Are you prepared to stand strong in the faith through it all?

I pray that I am. I pray that my family is. But truthfully, I will not know if I am ready until it happens. And none of us will have the strength to persevere without the power of the Holy Spirit. Just as God sent an angel to strengthen Jesus on the eve of His crucifixion, so will we need to be strengthened to endure such horror. But there are things we can do in the meantime to prepare.

Take full advantage of all the Church has to offer while you still can and most importantly, pray. Pray as often as you can. Pray that you and your family will have the strength to persevere to the end.  

For the survival of the great Constitutional Republic of America, we must be willing to fight for our God-given rights and make others aware of this insidious plan. This is not about right or left, Democrat or Republican, it’s a choice between tyrannical, authoritarian Socialist/Communist government, or freedom to make our own choices, own property, and be able to speak out, run a business, gather together, celebrate our faith and pursue our happiness.
