Before an effective strategic defense can be mounted, the enemy must be clearly identified. On the basis of that claim and in response to a poster who observed, “Marxism should be seen in context as a 19th century Materialist response to Hegel,” I wrote:
” While it is a materialized version of Hegel’s dialect, we need to dig deeper and begin with the fact that Hegel was a pantheist and his dialectic was a magic-formula based on the idea of divinized and/or immanitized history. In other words, history is a ‘divinized entity’ that predetermines specific events and outcomes.
Pantheism is paganism, or more specifically, it’s monism, the ancient idea that all things are ‘one’ with and/or merely extensions of divinized nature. In this system, man loses his individuality; he disappears into and becomes ‘one with’ Nature.
Monism is like a coin, it has two sides. One side is pantheism and the other side is materialism. Hence Marx’s materialism is paganism disguised as science. By extension, dialectical materialism is both immanitized matter (divinized matter) and Hegel’s pantheist dialectic materialized.”
Though brief and speaking here of Cultural Marxism, this exposition identifies the metaphysical foundations of All of modernity’s ‘isms’: progressivism, positivism, evolutionism, Marxism, socialism, Bolshevism, Jacobinism, and todays’ variant, dubbed by Fonte as Transnational Progressivism.
Now Steven Plaut has published an evaluative essay in which he writes that Marxism is a pagan religious cult. Read it here:

As I said previously, if we’re to mount an effective attack against this demonic system, we must begin by identifying and exposing its pagan and yes-—superstitious-— foundations. Just as this demonic system has been attacking and destroying the Judeo-Christian foundations of the West, so too must we launch our counter-offensive against its foundations. Only by exposing this evil to the Light of Truth, will it be destroyed.
