The assassination of a leading defender of Christianity, Charlie Kirk, represents the culmination of decades of hostile Marxist indoctrination in the West. Charlie Kirk has become a significant martyr, a new Martin Luther King Jr.

The radical Left has long taught Americans that the classical Western values of tolerance and free speech is wrong, that whoever disagrees with the Marxist-socialist-communist ideology must be removed, lied about in the media, belittled, discriminated against, anything to force society into one single authoritarian groupthink, so well-known from countries where atheist socialists are in control. Under the banner of “solidarity and empathy with minorities,” a socialist tyranny is implemented. The National Socialist (NAZI) system in Germany during World War II is a good example of how a socialist state completely shuts down freedom of speech. Today’s Europe is not far behind.

It should surprise no one. The founder of the radical Left, Karl Marx (1818-1883), invented socialism-communism as ideologies that precisely aimed at destroying the very structure of traditional civil society, belief in God, the family, capitalism and private ownership, the nation state and a constitution under God.

The Marxist goal was always about breaking up social order to cause a bloody revolution. They openly spoke about the need to stop political opponents at any cost. Vladimir I. Lenin, the founder of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), detested the capitalist code of honor, stating the need to ruthlessly curb free speech: “We must be ready to employ trickery, deceit, law-breaking, withholding and concealing truth. … We can and must write in a language which sows among the masses hate, revulsion and scorn towards those who disagree with us.”

Post-war heroes of the Left, such as Theodore W. Adorno, Herbert Marcuse and Jacques Derrida were characterized by a complete distrust in historical Western principles and a remarkably strong contempt for Christianity. Which enemy sent them into the heartland of the West to tear down its pillars? Under the disguise of “empathy, love and solidarity,” they implemented a new set of racist, misanthropic ethics – the antithesis of Christian morality – idealizing hedonism, nihilism, a misogynist feminism, the breaking up of the family, lawlessness, borderlessness, sowing discord and hatred between ethnic groups.

Conservative Charlie Kirk, whose assassination was celebrated by so many radicals, lived his days in this quagmire of Marxist authoritarianism and hatred of Western values, in the remarkably occult and heathen America.

He was demonized, lied about, called the foulest of names, his message willfully twisted in the classical left-wing tactic so well-known throughout the elite-owned, mainstream media. He was detested for his Christian views: That we are one nation under God, with the ideal of a traditional family nucleus consisting of a faithful man and a woman in marriage and their children; the protection of the unborn child and its right to live; the belief in the church as a spiritual center fostering moral standards and a healthy social context; a nation state with border protecting the citizens, as defined in the U.S. Constitution. Also, a system that allowed differences of opinion to thrive; creating healthy debates in order to find the best solution to problems in society; supporting the ideal of a healthy capitalist economic system, where men should work and own the fruit of their own labor; a system where state power was to be decentralized so that the needs of the people would be served. The ideal was the separation of powers between the legislative, the executive and the judicial branches of government in order to stop the abuse of power.

Yet, especially since the 1960s, the intolerant Marxist ideology has been implemented precisely through the university systems and in the media, the arenas where conservative Charlie Kirk was operating, brutally shutting down the respect for the Judeo-Christian values that formed the basis for the Western civilization success story. The concept of free speech for conservatives has been relentlessly denied, young radicals indoctrinated to hate the classical virtues: Do not lie, do not steal, do not be greedy and selfish, stay faithful to your wife, earn your own money by working hard, be humble, forgive, respect your parents, help those in need, love others like God loved us.

Charlie Kirk spoke fearlessly up against the toxic fluidity that is poisoning the minds of young Americans. For this he was martyred. Yet, his legacy marks the beginning of a new era in which millions rise up to follow in his footsteps, joining him in his faith in God and willingness to serve at any cost, causing landslides of changes that will fundamentally reshape America.
