À propos de cet audio

Two decades after the publication of The Black Book of Communism, nearly everyone is or at least should be aware of the immense evil produced by that devilish ideology first hatched when Karl Marx penned his Communist Manifesto two centuries ago. Far too many people, however, separate Marx the man from the evils wrought by the oppressive ideology and theory that bears his name. That is a grave mistake. Not only did the horrific results of Marxism follow directly from Marx’s twisted ideas, but the man himself penned some downright devilish things. Well before Karl Marx was writing about the hell of communism, he was writing about hell.

“Thus Heaven I’ve forfeited, I know it full well,” he wrote in a poem in 1837, a decade before his Manifesto. “My soul, once true to God, is chosen for Hell.” That certainly seemed to be the perverse destiny for Marx’s ideology, which consigned to death over 100 million souls in the 20th century alone.

No other theory in all of history has led to the deaths of so many innocents. How could the Father of Lies not be involved?

At long last, here, in this book by Professor Paul Kengor, is a close, careful look at the diabolical side of Karl Marx, a side of a man whose fascination with the devil and his domain would echo into the 20th century and continue to wreak havoc today. It is a tragic portrait of a man and an ideology, a chilling retrospective on an evil that should have never been let out of its pit.

Essential analysis of Marx and neo-Marxian spectres

This book is well researched on the biographies of Marx, his family and contemporaries as well as the diabolical spin-offs that are now plaguing our world. Marxism’s religious fights are central to this book because Marx and his followers made it so. Paul Kengor covers the Infiltration of Marxists into the Church and the unions in the 20th c and on into the highest cultural and political institutions of the 21st. Chameleon like, Marxism morphs from being the economic to the endless sexual liberator. Common to all its disguises is the desire to destroy Christianity, to subvert souls and to serve the Devil’s rebellion against God Himself. Kevin O’Brien’s narration is wonderfully entertaining and a pleasure to listen to.

Entertaining if viewed as a parody

As I thoroughly loath communists, I chose this book because of the good reviews and the fact it was clearly not writen by a marx-sympathizer. I did not realize that the title was meant to be literal!
if you are a true believer type of Christian then this book can I think be read (listened to!) as a thoughtful discussion as to whether Marx was literally inspired by the Devil.
As I am not a Christian, and therefore don't believe in a devil, absurd. But the book still has significant entertainment value as a sort of what-if thought experiment or parody. What if Marx was actually trying to be evil? Of course in his day he would describe this to himself in Christian terms. He could even have thought of himself as serving some mythical demon. What more horrible a creation could a psychopath hope to spawn than communism?
The narrator adds to the absurdity, as if self-consciously running with some mockery of a preacher's ranting style with ridiculous (and probably rather rascist) accents thrown in for different historical people.
Is this a good biography of Marx? No. Is this entertaining? Somewhat. Although not worth the length.
