Religion is the “Opium of the people,” quotes Marx. In order to actually understand this statement, you must understand the effects of opium.
While it is true religion can be a distraction, or even a liberation, it is easy for one to forget that the things such as the thought of nothing; is a religion in itself. In America, we do not have Bourgeoisie in the same fashion as Marx defined them, so clearly expressed in their cause of the suffering. However, our interpretation of Marx is slightly misunderstood. Marx thought the poor would over throw the military state, here our military are Citizens of the States and of The People.
You don’t use the old to change the new, establishing new forms of tyranny by the thought of relinquishing the few. The religious tyrannies of a Lucifarian State, is impossible to deny. These “people,” religiously use symbolisms in their daily lives, spiritual wickedness and deceptive practices. All religions of this Earth are created by the False Prophets of Deception, known as mankind.
Influenced and tempted by lust, desire and greed.
They use religion to play on the heart of man and feed on his need for control, Religion is no different. In fact, it is as clearly stated: “the opium of the people,” it “numbs” us to the reality that surrounds us, the pain it causes us.
Happiness is a choice, a decision to accept or reject the reality of life as it is. Weakness being the ultimate choice, with life many weaknesses arise and our willingness to accept weakness, is to make the choice to reject our inner happiness, confounded by religion. “Is to establish the truth of this world.”-Karl Marx
Life is suffering, how we chose to live life, is what endures this suffering.
Religion is a choice, a decision to ignore the suffering and place our fate in a divine entity or “religion,” rather than to accept it for what it truly is, a choice to be happy regardless of what we have.
This statement highlights the misconception Americans often make when reading Marx; the “proletariat” of the side of the world Marx was privy too, is the bourgeoisie of the citizens of the United States. Clearly now we can see a class divide arise from the Citizens of America, confounded in religious persecution, “God will save you,” while the elite of the Nation exploit and persecute you, for personal gain.
Communism as defined by Marx allowed for the ruling class to subjugate the masses to enslavement through, “self revolution,” whereas the enslaved thinks that liberation comes from abolishment of rights; rights “granted” by the ruling class.
This statement, as well as the statement that follows;
This predicts a future Marx could not have possibly seen, one rooted in false ideologies. People are lazy, the abolishment of “private property” has only allowed for the few to further expand their own wealth and power. Decieving us so that we believe we can liberate ourselves from their rules, while in fact ensuring their rule through using the tools they have set before us.
Placing the education of our children into the hands of the State, is to neglect the intellectual being of this child and empower them with the directive of the State.
To abolish ‘morality’ is to distort reality and to allow for barbarism to consume society, for no mane would be morally ‘obligated’ to stop it.
-Karl Marx
Let me just conclude with the obvious. Mao, Lenin or Stalin, and clearly modern day North Korea; clearly shows the failure “The Communist Manifesto” has set forth on the world. Being liberated from one, to be enslaved by another.
