Martin Luther King Jr. wrote the essay I posted and he is the man America is celebrating this Monday holiday: Martin Luther King Day.
King was very critical of American economics and power structures. He had some socialist sounding-opinions.
His economic opinions and activism against racism made the FBI suspicious. They even accused King of being a communist.
King was obviously very controversial and was assassinated by a gun in 1968.
But it was in this speech from church: where Martin Luther King, even while acknowledging the failings and problems of capitalism and of American society — King explains why at its heart, communism is an evil and godless ideology. Communism is not Christianity. Communism is never the solution.
And the Soviet Union was an evil and godless system. It doesn’t matter that some people benefitted and some people had food. It was evil and it failed because God always wins.
And until modern Russians admit this and understand why the Soviet Union was truly evil instead of being nostalgic and making excuses for the period between 1917 and 1991 like Putin does...
Until the evil of communism is understood for what it was: how it destroyed the human soul, made war against God, and sought to poison the entire world with demonic ideas —> until this is acknowledged, Russia will continue to have a difficult time moving forward.
And the same tragic, bloody year (1968) - Martin Luther King and Robert F. Kennedy (JFK’s brother) were shot and killed, and Vietnam War and protests were going on ...
Three NASA astronauts went to outer space to orbit (not walk yet) the moon. It was the end of the year. Christmas Eve. What did they do there and say on TV to all the people watching?
The men read out loud: the first pages of the BIBLE. The story of God creating the universe. This was the astronauts’ message to the world on Christmas.
And its moments like these, moments when we remembered GOD even in outer space...that remind us why the U.S.A. even with all its imperfections and problems - continues to lead the world.
