About this listen
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.

I would have loved to also have learned about the responses of the Charismatic and Pentecostal churches to communism and socialism, but it was never touched on. I feel that this is an significant gap in this book.
Greatly insightful and important.

Through the use of his terminology "Judaeo-Christian" it would seem apparent that he in his critique has yet to unify the attack on Christendom at the less then ethereal intermediate authors.
as a Catholic author I would like to think this speaks to his altruistic nature and not to a subverted or dishonest character.
I thank Mr Kengor for his contribution and reccomend it to anyone interested in the social sciences or political economy.

But if you are sympathetic to Luther’s theses then you are likely to find the perspective - which holds modern Popes as the source of doctrinal wisdom - somewhat disingenuous.
An initial failure to define terminology - communism v socialism for example - creates a shaky foundation.
Loose terminology - such as characterising Paris as a ‘left wing looney bin’ simply destroys credibility.
I’d love to explore this topic with a writer that had a more objective perspective that didn’t start with the assumption of the Roman Catholic Church as the benchmark of truth, justice. and the American way.
Disappointing for non-Catholics
