Messianismo invertido

Many criticize Communism and its revolutionary origins as an infused materialism. In our previous work, we discussed how Communism is in truth a radical spiritualism and not materialism. If there is anything materialistic in Communism, it is only its volatile praxis in time and space. But the communist foundation is indeed spiritual and has its roots in Jewish messianism, and later, it took advantage of Christian messianism, which is only one in the end . This messianism has its biblical support when the Gospel says: Blessed are the poor, for they shall inherit the earth, as a spiritual and moral justification for the natural rise of communism as a superior model of society to be built on Earth. Now, one way to deceive is to put a little lie in a sea of truth, so that the unwary dive onto the island, thinking they are saved. But what communists ignore is that the happiness Jesus Christ speaks of is based on the holiness of its members, and holiness is based on integral truth, not just on what suits a group. Thus, it will be divine intervention that will make the poor possess the Earth, and not a human force, much less one that is equipped in the machine that creates oppression between social groups, that is, the Modern State. So communists love to embrace the Judeo-Christian messianism that the poor will be helped by God, but they forget that God will do so against the communists and not in favor of their model, because the communist model is only one face of the bestial machine that has corroded human essence since Nimrod.

When we pray the Lord's Prayer, we pray to anticipate the arrival of the Kingdom of God, "Thy Kingdom come." Most Christians interpret this prayer as if it were a spiritual prayer. In truth, it is a material prayer. We pray that God will intervene in History, miraculously, and through Christians, but not only. We do not pray that God's will be done in Heaven, because it already is there, nor that we die in order to live His will, for then prayer would be unnecessary; we pray that it be done on Earth as it is in Heaven, that is, something that is not yet, but that should be. If Jesus Christ taught this prayer, it is because at some point the Kingdom of God will truly be on Earth. This is the Judeo-Christian messianism that both Christians and Jews today ignore, and which the communists have seized as if it were their prerogative, instead of a divine prerogative.

The problem with many of those who call themselves "conservatives" today is that they ignore the messianic character of both Christianity and Communism, and thus condemn both, praising what both Christians and communists condemn: profit for profit's sake, that is, rampant capitalism. However, unlike communists, Christians know, or should know, that the solution will come from God and not from men, whereas communists believe that they can correct the world by their own hands, even at the cost of truth, justice, goodness, beauty, and indeed, all the transcendental qualities inherent in human nature.

This is why Communism and Christianity are radically opposed, because both dispute the same object, but from distinct worldviews. While Communism sees the kingdom of the poor as a "revolution of the poor," that is, a class action of people, and considers this the highest moral law that exists, Christianity works in the world remedying evils, knowing that it cannot eradicate them, but praying to God to intervene on its behalf and on behalf of the world. The problem is that the faith of communists in their kingdom is greater than that of Christians in their kingdom. Jesus said that "my kingdom is not of this world," which many Christians erroneously interpret as if Jesus were speaking of the Empyrean Heaven or, something even more phantasmagorical, the kingdom of hearts, when this, in its apparent beauty, hides a perversity that does not belong to Christianity: if Jesus is God, then He is the only Lord of the Earth, therefore, He is King of this world and not only of the Empyrean Heaven. There are no zones of authority in God; He is the source of all authority, even that which evil enjoys. But evil itself does not have and cannot have any legitimate authority, which means that the tyranny of injustice and evil in the world exists within a hope that it will be eradicated, precisely because God, who is the source of all authority, will not allow things to remain this way forever.

The Kingdom of God will come upon this world because it was created for this purpose, and not for destruction as many innocent and almost blasphemous Christians think, "And God saw that it was good..." The idea that the Earth is evil and will be destroyed is a remnant of Gnosticism and Manichaeism that survived through eccentric intellectual classes, the same ones that paradoxically created Communism to absurdly cure it!

There is some truth in communism, that the poor will own the land; however, it is wrong what kind of poor people and who will do this for them. Certainly not the State or a Party… in truth, both only exist to prevent the Kingdom from actually coming. Is it necessary to say what will happen when God intervenes to answer the Lord's Prayer?

1. Descartes' Fear. In this brief work, we argue that it is necessary to revise this concept of materialism because it undermines much of what belongs to the Christian worldview, and without redemption, it is almost impossible to redeem it. It is well known that the first to create such a disparity between the spiritual and material worlds was Descartes, who could not find a way to reconcile the two realities and how they are present in the world.

2. Christian messianism inherits Jewish messianism in its entirety. Jewish messianism before and after the advent of Christ are two distinct kinds. Communism takes advantage of both, but subverts them to suit its modus operandi.
