At the American Thinker today is a piece by Lars Møller entitled Upheaval and Pushback that shows us through several counter revoutionary defeats that our winning this one is by no means a sure thing. The modern left (for the left has always been with us. It is in fact ancient and goes by many names, though Lucifer will suffice) began with the French Revolution. Its counter revolutionaries, the Vendee were destroyed, slaughtered, and executed. Møller spends the first half of his article on the history of French Revolution and its subsequent loss of life, all to satisfy a belief in an ideology that has proven time and again to be false. All this to discuss the American experience with this same ideology:
There are striking parallels between the events of the French Revolution and its Russian counterpart. In both cases, on the one hand, there were revolutionary forces trying to reshape an entire country, gripped by utopian fantasies, whatever the human cost, and on the other hand, counter-revolutionary forces fighting to roll back the revolution and restore order. In Russia, the “Whites” suffered the same tragic fate as the insurgents of Vendée.
What has attracted relatively little attention, considering the severity of the cultural impact in our society, is the struggle between the forces that have driven the “woke” revolution and the counter-revolutionary forces that fight for the values that underpin Western civilization. Many imagine that “woke” simply stands for (ridiculously) exaggerated “humanism” and “tolerance”. However, that is a monumental fallacy. It denotes in reality one side — the dark one, to be sure — in a life-and-death struggle between totalitarianism and freedom.
Under the guise of humanism, Democrats have been working to reshape the United States ever since Lyndon B. Johnson’s immigration bill of 1965. Although with the resemblance of a bitter parody, in this case too, it is as if there is a fantasy of a thousand-year empire guaranteed, not by the presence of enlisted savages with bayonets in the streets, but by the steady influx of immigrants dependent on public benefits and with the prospective right to vote in general elections.

The reality is that the United States has had its own piecemeal revolution since Obama came to power in 2009. In a civilized society like the American one, where people generally trust legislators, judges, and executive authorities, many have long been reluctant to stand up to them. However, as absurdities and injustices have become increasingly obvious, not least the socially devastating mass immigration from the South, people across the country have begun to sense danger and fear for the future of their children.
Unfortunately, Marxism did not die with the Soviet Union in 1991, but lives on in disguise. Its goal, however, is the same as before: the destruction of Western civilization. In recent years, it has attacked its enemy in subtler ways than before, weaponizing ethnic and sexual minorities, and is constantly seeking new strategic alliances in political movements of importance, e.g. Islamism. At its core, therefore, it is as totalitarian, anti-human, and evil as ever. Revolution is a bloody affair. It begins with boundless dreams and promises, but invariably ends in “terror”. Justice, of course, has nothing to do with it.
I do not know if Møller realizes it or not, but the term "Western civilization" is a code term for Christianity. The entire edifice of Western Civilization was built on the Christian faith. The idea of Judeo-Christianity ignores the Old Testament, pretending that Christianity was something New and thus destroyed the Old. But in fact, Christ is the fulfillment of the Old Testament, and as Paul noted, we gentiles who call ourselves Christian are now grafted into the vine of God's chosen people Israel. The first disciples of Jesus were Jews. The first Christians were about 5,000 Jews baptized into Christ on Pentecost. Even today, there are Jews still being baptized into Christ. Glory hallelujah
Marx was virulently atheistic, as were the French revolutionaries and the Russian revolutionaries. Indeed, atheism has characterized all Communist and Marxist revolutionaries. One can think of them as teenagers rebelling against their parents, but that doesn't make them any less dangerous to the rest of us.
Since Obama, Americans have endured a revolution intended to dissolve any sense of national identity, cut it off from Western civilization, and drown it in multiculturalism, with invading masses of Third-World aliens acting as unwitting accomplices. The project has been truly revolutionary — all-encompassing and nihilistic.
It was not a given that Trump should win the November 2024 election. He did, however. And in doing so, he gave voice to all the decent people of the country who, for years on end, saw their national pride trampled and dishonored by hostile forces rooted in Marxism and other anti-Christian ideologies. Undoubtedly, he will unleash the righteous anger that has gripped the Americans, as it once gripped the brave counter-revolutionaries of the Vendée. Not to forget: It is a fight to the death!
Faced with a lurking, uncompromising enemy of everything we hold dear, we cannot take victory for granted because we have justice on our side, but must fight until victory is truly won. As Trump shouted to the crowd during the Pennsylvania campaign rally: “Fight, fight, fight!” Victory is the condition for the restoration of civilization.
