Unmasking Socialism
Part One
“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when
the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn” Proverbs 29:2
By Mike Wingfield
This article is the first of a three-part series on the evils of socialism. In these articles, I will refer to socialism as practically being the same as Marxism or Communism. In principle there is very little difference in these political philosophies. Each of these political agendas originated with Karl Marx, an atheist Jewish German philosopher in the 19th century. The purpose of these articles is four fold: (1) to scrutinize and evaluate the principles of socialism under the lens of Scripture, (2) to help Americans understand the threat of socialism to our faith and freedoms, (3) to review the historical and prophetic impacts of socialism, and (4) to expose the mission and tactics of those who are seeking to destroy the constitutional government of the United States of America and transform our country into a socialist state that will become a puppet of the New World Order. Please share this newsletter with all of your family, churches, and friends. We need to get this truth to America before the election this November. Please join me in prayer that the Lord will use these articles to open the eyes of many Americans who have been deceived into believing that socialism is a good choice for our nation.
At this very moment, the America that we love and cherish is fighting for its life as a free constitutional republic. Today, America has many native-born enemies that hate her and are plotting her destruction. Many of these enemies have openly embraced socialism.
We live at a time of incredible deception. Truth and justice have been turned upside down. Our world is rewarding people for evil, while the righteous are being condemned. Acts that perpetuate violence and forms of violence are being protected by liberal politicians, while the innocent are under constant threats and suffer injury. Liberal Democrats who run some our larger cities have given approval for some people to openly loot and steal. Persons who commit these lawless acts treat law enforcement personnel in a wicked and shameful way, all under the banner of peaceful protests. These people are permitted to gather in large crowds without any implications of disobedience due to government-mandated COVID-19 regulations. However, at the same time, it is wrong for the church to gather and sing praises to God. God says, “He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD” (Proverbs 17:15). “God created government to be a force for good and a restraint on evil in society. Yet sin-laden humans have distorted that original purpose to feed their own selfish desires” (Becca Coon, Decision, “The Dangers of Godless Government,” February 2020, p. 17).
