Revolting
revolutions
It’s
not that history repeats itself; it’s that people ignorant of history are bound
to repeat the same mistakes.
Each generation grapples with their own set of
problems hoping to find solutions, each generation stumbles upon what they
think will solve their problems, magically transporting them to paradise.
Except that what seemed like paradise in their dreams, always turns into
prisons in reality.
Drug addicts don’t set out to have a drug addiction; the
drugs were taken for pleasurable enhancement but soon turned into punishing
enchainment.
The
French-Enlightenment Revolution effectively enthroned the “enlightened”,
dethroned the Divine and the divinely ordained precepts of God.
The
Russian-Communist Revolution violently and radically instituted “realpolitik”
the system of politics based on practicality rather than morality.
The
German-Nazi Revolution supported the seemingly perfect specimen of “Superman”
symbolizing strength, superiority and supremacy.
Each
of these revolutions which were supposed to usher in utopia instead brought
about a blighted barbarism and a bloodbath of butchery. Promises turned into
penalties.
A government that was thought to bring glorious and glowing wonders
instead brought gruesome and gory wreckage, the aberrant and abhorrent result
of all Godless revolutions.
When
belief in God was eliminated during the French-Enlightenment Revolution, religion
was replaced with the guillotine.
When belief
in God was eradicated during the Russian-Communist Revolution, religion was
replaced with the gulag (political prison).
When belief in God was exterminated
during the German-Nazi Revolution, religion was replaced with the gas chamber.
The
Godly, heavenly virtues of beauty, goodness and truth, are inevitably replaced
with the demonic, hellish vices of depravity, decadence, and deception.
If
there was no God to judge right from wrong then the guillotine, the gulag and
the gas chamber became the Judgment Seat executing the “unenlightened” during
the French-Enlightenment Revolution, imprisoning the “dissenters” during the
Russian-Communist Revolution, and asphyxiating the “unworthy of life” during
the German-Nazi Revolution.
Read,
research and learn your history lessons. Do we keep what we have, peace and
prosperity, or do we want what the Democratic Socialists have to offer,
resistance and revolution?
