To the tens of millions who lost their lives to the misguided twentieth-century efforts to create Utopia here on earth, whether that be the Nazi Thousand-Year Reich or the failed Soviet experiment with communalism, and to the hundreds of millions more who suffered through starvation and enslavement.

INTRODUCTION

B eing a Red diaper baby gives me a unique perspective on the magic thought involved in the twentieth-century utopian movement known as Marxism. For those who are not familiar with the term, Red diaper baby was a common twentieth-century expression describing those born into Marxist families. My early teen years were spent in MarxistLeninist study groups in the basement of either my familys home or those of other Marxist families. As a teenager I met the chairman of the Communist Party USA, Gus Hall, as well as many of the other American Socialist heroes.

The view of the world from a true Marxist home is very different from the reality of humanity. In my Marxist upbringing, competition was an evil and all were expected to work for the common good with no selfish desires. All things material were to belong to the state for shared use by all. The view of humankind can truly only be described as magic think because it defies all of human history. Had man, from the time of his creation, never hunted game or worked the land for food to feed his family, perhaps there is a 1 in 10,000 chance human society today could be what the Marxist utopians believe it should be. The concept simply defies human nature and the very nature of all living things struggling for survival.

Along with the Marxism in my family came atheism. This is necessary because Marxists must have a godless, relative value system by which any action, no matter how cruel, is justified if it serves to advance the end result of a new and perfect society. What must be done cannot be justified according to a Judeo-Christian belief system. With utopianism, the means even mass murder are always justified by the ends. In 1960 my family actually attempted to defect to the Soviet Union, believing it was close to achieving the utopian state we so desired.

My eyes began to open to the evils of central government when I received my first paycheck and saw the amount of tax removed to support others who could not or would not work. Years later, my eyes were further opened when I realized that the only utopia possible is not of this earth, but of the one God who rules in His heaven. Reality looks far different from the utopian foolishness of changing the very nature of humanity to achieve a society so equal that personalities cease to exist. It is with this background, having served nearly equal periods of my life on opposing sides of reality, that I present this work.

There is currently, and has been for centuries, an ongoing material and spiritual war between the liberty of the individual and the central control of society by elitists who believe they can best determine the optimum course for the life of each individual in the population.

The battle is always between those who believe in individual liberty and government that is the least coercive, and those who hold that government can replace God and create a perfect system, managed by elitists, wherein all human needs can be determined and met.

These arrogant elitists proclaim that they can provide for humanity through a centrally planned system that relies primarily on collectivism. Regardless of what the system may be called, it relies on taking from the productive and redistributing to all. Though dating back to Sparta, the latest collectivist mantra sums up the centrally planned collectivist utopian plans that have plagued the world, particularly in the twentieth century: From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.

Nowhere in that mantra do the words want or desire appear.

Collectivists, whether fascist, Communist, or religiously motivated, have no faith in the individual or his ability to provide for his own needs and create value to trade for other desires. Collectivists view people as best suited to be part of a centrally planned system created and managed, of course, by themselves. Most often, those who reject their collectivist systems face the hangmans noose, the guillotine, or the firing squad.

Those who seek centralized power typically do so by proclaiming some utopian scheme that they claim will perfect mankind and eliminate competition, greed, poverty, and war.

The politically driven utopian tyrants invariably achieve their goals by killing off vocal opponents and terrorizing the remaining populace into submission. This was as true in the French Revolution and Reign of Terror instigated by Robespierre, as it was in ancient Greeces Sparta.

Energizing most utopians is a militant atheism, a belief that a better society can be created on earth, perhaps through their own personal brilliance, than any deity could create. When the belief in man as a creation in the image of God is completely rejected, the use of slavery and mass execution can be justified in the name of the creation of a utopian state for the masses.

Utopian tyrants such as Lenin, Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot all shared a near-supernatural hatred of God and His creation, as if driven by satanic forces. They used the creation of a new, uniform humanity as an excuse to murder tens of millions of people collectively.

Hitler and Mussolini were no less utopian than the Communists of the twentieth century. They also viewed themselves as creating a centrally planned civilization that would be superior to any that had ever existed on earth. For Mussolini, the effort to centralize control of all means of production by the state was described as a spiritual goal.
