Karl Marx Was Obsessed with Satan: The Deadly Truth

Almost two-thirds of Americans under 30 now hold a favorable view of socialism.

The frontrunner to become the next Mayor of New York City proudly calls himself a democratic socialist, and Zohran Mamdani says he wants to ban extreme wealth, telling NBC’s Meet the Press, “I don’t think that we should have billionaires because, frankly, it is so much money in a moment of such inequality.”

 

Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have also helped boost the popularity of democratic socialism. They will tell you they want to help people, but the socialist principles they espouse come through a very troubled man, who, say historians, if he was not a Satanist, was obsessed with Satan.

 

Dr. Paul Kengor, the author of The Devil and Karl Marx, says Marx was also a playwright and poet, and his writings included many references to Satan and Hell.

Marx’s Fascination with Beelzebub

 

Kengor cites Marx’s poem, “The Pale Maiden,” written in 1887: “Thus heaven I’ve forfeited. I know it full well. My soul, once true to God, is chosen for hell.”

 

In “The Fiddler or The Player,” in 1841, the same decade when he wrote the Communist Manifesto, Marx wrote, “See the sword. The Prince of Darkness sold it to me. For he beats the time and gives the signs ever more boldly. I played the dance of death.”

 

Kengor says Marx would tell his children stories about a toymaker who sold his soul to the devil.

 

Marx’s father said that his son’s heart was “governed by a demon,” and Marx was, by all accounts, a terrible husband, father, and provider who sponged off his relatives.

“Does this mean,” [Professor William Thomas] Walsh then asked, “in your opinion, that every country, without exception, will be overcome by Communism?” And Sister Lucia answered: “Yes.” As the translator of this interview, Father Manuel Rocha, was later to reveal, Walsh then asked explicitly about the United States of America, adding: “and does that mean the United States of America, too?” Whereupon Sister Lucia responded once more time with “yes.” (1946 interview)

 

Two Contemporaries. Two Gospels. Two Tombstones. One Choice.

Two lives. Two legacies. Two world views at battle today.

 

Karl Marx and D.L. Moody. The contrast between these men could not be greater. They made similar promises—promises of freedom and a better world. Yet the lessons they left behind are as divergent as night and day. One sought to liberate people but ultimately enslaved them. The other preached forgiveness from sin and set people free.

 

These two men represent opposing worldviews that have competed throughout history—views that are very much alive today. Marxist ideas are surfacing all over the world, infiltrating even the most unlikely places here in America. Pastor emeritus of The Moody Church Erwin Lutzer, along with historian Dr. Gregg Quiggle, reveals the seduction and impact of Marxist ideology. Marx and Moody showcases the difference between a man-centered worldview and a God-centered worldview, critiquing Marxism through the lens of the Bible while exploring the nature of God, humanity, and the consequences of ideas.

 

In this in-depth analysis, this book compares the impact of Karl Marx with D. L. Moody's ministry and highlights what our lives should be centered on during these turbulent times in history—the joy of sharing the good news of the gospel.

 

Two different belief systems. Two different legacies. Two different destinies. Two very different eternities. Marx and Moody is an essential book for our time—contrasting the danger and destruction of Marxism with the power, salvation, and true freedom found in Jesus Christ.
