Leftism, in its various modern expressions, whether Marxism, Leninism, Maoism, socialism, communism, the Democratic Party of America, is not 100 percent the same. There are varying degrees of application, depending upon time and situation. They have much in common, but with some local disparities. But there is one fundamental foundation that every manifestation of Leftism is built upon—atheism and a rejection of religion and eternal truths. Marx, the well-spring of most modern Leftist philosophy, made this plain: “Communism begins where atheism begins.” Again: “The first requisite for the happiness of the people is the abolition of religion.” And once more: “Communism abolishes eternal truths, it abolishes all religion, and all morality, instead constituting them on a new basis; it therefore acts in contradiction to all past historical experience.” These are cardinal truths of all systems of current Leftism, including the Democratic Party.
Of course, because there are many, many religious people in America, including a lot who are members of the Democratic Party, no Democrat can come right out and say what Marx said above. Obama can slyly refer to those who “cling to their guns and Bibles,” but he can’t openly say, “our philosophy is based on atheism and abolishing religion and tradition family moral values.” But we see it in what they do. Obviously, actions speak louder than words.
If there is no God, then the state—the government—becomes the highest authority in any body politic. Everyone within that political order must therefore submit to this authority (government) and have no higher allegiance than to it. This has been evident in history, e.g., the Soviet Union, communist China, and other such totalitarian regimes. Religion is controlled, at best, or obliterated, if possible. This isn’t debatable, so I won’t bother with proof here. You obey the government. That is your highest duty, higher than to God, family, self, or any other entity. Most conservatives believe in a God Who is superior to the state, and thus even the state (government) should honor and obey His decrees. This is anathema to modern Leftists. Atheism is the core, religion and traditional family morality must be eradicated, or at best subordinated to the state, to be replaced by whatever elitist cult and its morality is currently in power. Read again the Marxist quotes above for verification.

So, again, the government (people in power) is the highest authority in the land and must be totally acquiesced to. Those who lift God, or family, above government mandates are the enemy. And though Democratic Party politicians never nakedly say this, they DO say it, implicitly, in other ways.
Democrat Terry McAuliffe was defeated a couple of years ago in his attempt to regain the governorship of Virginia by Republican Glenn Youngkin. It is widely believed that McAuliffe greatly hurt his chances when he stated, “I don’t believe parents should be telling schools what they should teach.” This is perfect Leftist doctrine. Government runs the schools, government, and only government, should say what is to be taught in those schools. Countless Virginia parents were offended by this. They believe their children are theirs, not the state’s, and they should have a primary role in raising those children to be what they want them to be. Leftists want to indoctrinate children with godless, Leftists ideals. The “grooming of children” for the Democratic coalition of transgenders and homosexuals is a major part of this debate. Parents are adversaries if they balk at that. Glenn Youngkin is governor of Virginia, not Leftist Terry McAuliffe. Victory for parents.
But the Leftists will never give up because they demand control of you, your life, and your children. Recently, the Virginia legislature has been debating a bill that requires creators of adult sexual content to verify users’ identities. In other words, to make sure only adults were viewing the pornography. This is designed to protect children, and to give parents some say over what their offspring view online. It is obviously a wise provision—unless you hate the family and parents, and want access to children to pervert and sexualize them, which Leftists clearly do.
Not surprisingly, Democratic Party state Senator Monty Mason called the law “parental garbage.” That is what he thinks of parents controlling their children’s access to pornography. He also vilified the law as “stupid.” He further said the law was “all a part of this parental crap that [Republicans] are selling.” Parents protecting children from online sexual content is “garbage,” “stupid,” and “crap.” This is Leftism, folks. Parents are in the way of Leftists totally educating the minds of your children so that they can indoctrinate them with Leftist, atheistic ideology and ultimately control the entire body politic. Again, this is why Leftists—Democrats—hate religion and the family. A person can have no higher allegiance than to the government. The Leftist elites who control the government will make all the rules and you—and your children—WILL obey them. Not God in authority. Leftist government.
If you don’t believe that is their philosophy, go spend ten years in communist China like I did. Ask a Uyghur or Falun Gong member. If you can find one alive or not in a re-education camp.
Once more, the Democrats never come out, point blank, and admit they are trying to destroy the family (traditional moral values) and religion. But their actions—and occasionally their implied words—speak louder than anything they could vocalize. If you want to know what someone truly believes, look at what they do, not at what they say. And the actions of Democrats tell us they hate Christianity and the traditional nuclear family. “Garbage.” “Stupid.” “Crap.” That is what they think of parents raising their children without government direction.
Why aren’t the Republicans, all over the country, broadcasting to Americans what the Leftist, Marxist, communist, atheistic Democratic Party truly believes and wants to turn America into?
