Marx and Satan by Richard Wurmbrand

the bottomless pit (abyssos in Greek; see Revelation 20:3). Marx desires to draw the whole of mankind into this pit reserved for the Devil and his angels.

Who speaks through Marx in this drama? Is it reasonable to expect a young student to entertain as his life’s dream the vision of mankind entering into the abyss of darkness (“outer darkness” is a Biblical expression for hell) and of himself laughing as he follows those he has led to unbelief? Nowhere in the world is this ideal cultivated except in the initiation rites of the Satanist church at its highest degrees.

When, in the drama, the time comes for Oulanem’s death, his words are:

Ruined, ruined. My time has clean run out.

The clock has stopped, the pygmy house has crumbled.

Soon I shall embrace eternity to my breast, and soon

I shall howl gigantic curses on mankind.

Marx had loved the words of Mephistopheles in Faust: “Everything in existence is worth being destroyed.” Everything, including the proletariat and the comrades. Marx quotes these words in The 18th Brumaire. Stalin acted on them and destroyed even his own family.

Satan is called in Faust the spirit that denies everything. This is precisely Marx attitude. He writes about “pitiless criticism of all that exists”; “war against the situation in Germany”; “merciless criticism of all.” He adds, “It is the first duty of the press to undermine the foundations of the existing political system.” Marx said about himself that he is “the most outstanding hater of the so-called positive.”

The Satanist sect is not materialistic. It believes in eternal life. Oulanem, the person through whom Marx speaks, does not question this. He asserts eternal life, but as a life of hate magnified to its extreme.

It is worth noting that eternity for devils means torment. Note Jesus’ reproach by demons: “Art thou come hither to torment us before the time?” (Matthew 8:29).

Marx is similarly obsessed:

Ha! Eternity! She is our eternal grief,

An indescribable and immeasurable Death,

Vile artificiality conceived to scorn us,

Ourselves being clockwork, blindly mechanical,

Made to be the fool-calendars of Time and Space,

Having no purpose save to happen, to be ruined,

So that there shall be something to ruin.

We begin now to understand what has happened to young Marx. He had had Christian convictions, but had not led a consistent life. His correspondence with his father testifies to his squandering great sums of money on pleasures and his constant quarrelling with parental authority about this and other matters. Then he seems to have fallen in with the tenets of the highly secret Satanist church and received the rites of initiation.
