Marxism Has Crept In

I’d rather be called a nationalist than be lumped in with the elite any day of the week. Not the type of nationalist defined by flag-waving displays or running around in a red cap, but in a deeper, constitutional sense. The belief that I’m part of this nation, this project, this Union—apparently makes me, by definition, a nationalist. And I’m okay with that. Because I recognize I’m not just floating in space. I am part of a Union, and I do, with full awareness, believe in the Bible and the Constitution of the United States.

I grew up as a Democrat. Without question, I followed their fundamental beliefs because of Civil Rights. But I’ve come to learn, over the last ten years or so, that I am not a Democrat. I’m not liberal, at least not in the sense that I believe every man in this world is subject to the laws or beliefs of the United States. I reject that idea completely. I also understand that America, for all its flaws, was built on Christian values, on biblical truth. That alone sets me apart from today’s liberal ideology. My worldview isn’t shaped by popular culture or progressive trends. It’s grounded in Scripture.

I’ve been having these thoughts because I’ve been wondering if we’re living in the last days. There’s a scripture in the Bible that says a new king arose in Egypt who did not know Joseph, and the people of Israel were enslaved. But God, in His faithfulness, looked down and carried a nation across the sea and into a land of their own. And yet, even then, they didn’t follow His laws, so He scattered them. When I think about America, it’s obvious to me that God had a plan to create a nation that would one day support a land called Jerusalem. But like ancient Israel, our land has forgotten. And it’s liberalism that creates that circumstance, a system that tries to universalize freedom, pretending that all men and women are equal and subject to the same liberties, even when some reject the very foundation those liberties are built on.

Whenever I hear people talk about “Western values,” the conversation always seems to lean right, toward conservatism. And rightfully so. Because Western values, at their core, are restrictive, not in a negative way, but in a protective way. Those who believe in forming a more perfect union understand that freedom must be rooted in moral boundaries.

I get it. There are many who don’t consider themselves to be Marxists. Most aren’t reading Karl Marx or quoting The Communist Manifesto. But the ideology has crept in and now runs the core of Democratic policies. It shows up in how we talk about fairness, in the push for equal outcomes instead of equal opportunity, and in the belief that wealth and property should be shared rather than earned. These aren’t just harmless ideas. They are rooted in a worldview that slowly replaces personal responsibility with government control. And often, they’re disguised as compassion. That’s how it spreads—quietly, subtly, until we forget what freedom actually costs.

Liberals may not realize it, but many of their core beliefs align with Marxist ideals. They believe in this utopian idea that all is equal and that property and resources should be shared, as if that doesn’t immediately create an elite class and a powerless underclass with no way to rise above their condition. The idea that everything I create, earn, or build somehow belongs to the state is not only unjust; it’s anti-biblical.

God said, “Be fruitful and multiply.” But you can’t do that if everything you have is handed over to the state. Even in biblical times, God only required a tenth, a tithe, to build and maintain the temple. In a Marxist society, the state can demand any portion of your hard-earned income, and it’s not even called a tax, because technically, you own nothing to be taxed. The elite owns everything. We’ve seen this before. We know, historically, that it fails every time. And yet people with no knowledge of history continue to cling to these ideas, ignoring the evidence and the cost.

While listening to The Native Land Podcast, I was struck by their discussion on Black elitism and its complicated place within American capitalism. They argued that being elite isn’t inherently bad, but the term often carries negative weight, especially when applied to Black people. Tiffany Cross pushed back on the idea that Black elites should be viewed with suspicion. When she thinks of the elite, she thinks of the Harlem Renaissance, of Du Bois, Washington, and a class of intellectuals who used their influence to uplift the race. But here’s where the thinking turns: some suggest that capitalism is inherently a white man’s system and that Black people should reject it altogether. I disagree. That idea leans toward Marxist thinking and does not align with the principles of the Constitution. Capitalism is not a white system. It’s an American system. Turning our backs on it means turning away from the very structure that, though imperfect, offers the opportunity to build wealth, independence, and freedom. The challenge is not to abandon the system, but to fully participate in it on our terms.

Why are we still behind? A large part of the answer lies in the decisions we’ve made—decisions that don’t align with truly uplifting our communities, but that align with keeping the elites wealthy, so long as a crack in the door opens for the few. Much of our leadership is run by Black elites who have done little to bring meaningful change to our neighborhoods. Instead, they consistently encourage us to assimilate, to integrate into white spaces, and to rely on the very system that was never built for our survival. We’ve been taught to depend on it to live, rather than to build our own parallel institutions, industries, and standards of success.

This shift in leadership and ideology didn’t happen in a vacuum. It reflects a broader departure from the values that once anchored our communities, and frankly, the values that built stable societies. As many Black leaders chase cultural relevance, global agendas, or academic approval, they abandon the spiritual and constitutional foundations that once guided our pursuit of justice. This isn’t just about economics or politics anymore. It’s about worldview. Because when we remove God, truth, and moral clarity from the center of our decisions, what’s left is confusion, compromise, and chaos.

What I’m saying is that in this day and age, we need to sit down as a nation and ask ourselves a serious question: Why are you American? Because you can’t truly believe in the Constitution without also being a nationalist. And you can’t keep pretending that every man, woman, and child, regardless of belief, allegiance, or intent, is equally covered by its protections. That’s not how the Constitution was written, and that’s not how nations survive.

I believe that. Of course I do. This entire world is headed in one direction, a direction we’ve seen before in the Old Testament. We were meant to flow through the grace of the New Testament, but now we’re moving rapidly toward the Book of Revelation. I believe that. I believe we’re somewhere in between. I don’t know the day or the hour, but I’ve said this before, and I still believe it now.

I think this is one of the reasons so many people decided to vote for Donald Trump. Not because he was perfect, but because there was a growing sense that liberalism had gone too far, too far left, too far from Scripture, too far from truth. The elite have proven themselves to be inadequate and dejected. We were watching our communities being infiltrated with ideologies that didn’t align with the Constitution or the Bible. And suddenly, the very foundation of what we believed, what this nation was built on, was under attack.

Today, we are being challenged in ways that are hard to ignore. People are flooding into this country who don’t truly believe in the Constitution. They haven’t signed on to it, and they don’t share the same loyalty to this place that those of us who were born here, who love this country, still hold. And I believe it behooves those of us who still believe in the Constitution, who still honor law and order, who still trust in the God this nation once acknowledged, to come together.

It’s distressing, because the divide is deeper than race. It’s not just Black versus white anymore. It’s conservative versus liberal. It’s truth versus confusion. And if we don’t come together, if we don’t speak up, we may lose what’s left of the foundation.

I think many Americans said, “Yes, I believe in helping others. I believe in safety nets for the vulnerable.” But they also reached a point where they had to say, “This is going too far.” When the ideas being pushed no longer align with the Bible, when they begin to question the sanctity of life, the definition of marriage, and the value of children, we are in dangerous territory. And that had to be checked.

Maybe that check wasn’t just political. Maybe it was spiritual. Maybe it was God slowing things down through prayer, through resistance, through truth-tellers who still fear Him. But I do know this: when you start stripping away everything we once believed in, when you start replacing truth with lies and pretending not to know God, you are not just drifting. You are heading toward the extreme.

So where do we go from here? We return to the source. We return to the Word of God. We stop pretending that truth is flexible, that freedom can exist without responsibility, or that a nation can survive without moral clarity. We need to wake up, not to a political agenda, but to a spiritual one. This isn’t about parties. It’s about principalities. It’s about whether we will stand for righteousness or be swept away by rebellion. America can’t be saved by politics alone. But a people who humble themselves, repent, and return to God? That’s the kind of nation God defends. That’s the kind of remnant He uses. We still have a choice, but we don’t have forever.
