Marx and Satan

Marx and Satan by Richard Wurmbrand

Heinrich Heine, the renowned German poet, was a third intimate friend of Marx. He too was a Satan fancier. He wrote:

I called the devil and he came,

His face with wonder I must scan;

He is not ugly, he is not lame.

He is a delightful, charming man.

“Marx was a great admirer of Heinrich Heine… . Their relationship was warm, hearty.”

 

Why did he admire Heine? Perhaps for Satanist thoughts like the following:

I have a desire … for a few beautiful trees before my door, and if dear God wishes to make me totally happy, he will give me the joy of seeing six or seven of my enemies hanged on these trees. With a compassionate heart I will forgive them after death all the wrong they have done to me during their life. Yes, we must forgive our enemies, but not before they are hanged.

I am not revengeful. I would like to love my enemies. But I cannot love them before taking revenge upon them. Only then my heart opens for them. As long as one has not avenged himself, bitterness remains in the heart.

Would any decent man be an intimate friend of one who thinks like this?

But Marx and his entourage thought alike. Lunatcharski, a leading philosopher who was once minister of education of the U.S.S.R., wrote in Socialism aid Religion that Marx set aside all contact with God and instead put Satan in front of marching proletarian columns.

It is essential at this point to state emphatically that Marx and his comrades, while anti-God, were not atheists, as present-day Marxists claim to be. That is, while they openly denounced and reviled God, they hated a God in whom they believed. They challenged not His existence, but His supremacy.

When the revolution broke out in Paris in 1871, the Communard Flourens declared, “Our enemy is God. Hatred of God is the beginning of wisdom.”

Marx greatly praised the Communards who openly proclaimed this aim. But what has this to do with a more equitable distribution of goods or with better social institutions? Such are only the outward trappings for concealing the real aim – the total eradication of God and His worship. We saw the evidence of this in such countries as Albania, and today in North Korea, where all churches, mosques, and pagodas have been closed.
