Amazing that an idea bigger and more pernicious than Nazism got its start with one man, Karl Marx!

As always the anti-communist propaganda screed is tremendously funny and full of Bad History. I love that apparently Marx learnt free will was a lie by Hegel himself ("Good, he does not believe in free will", an amazingly bad reading of Marx). Apparently, despite the zealotry on display by the writer, they didn't really do much research on Hegel or the subject that they hate so much, Marx himself. Especially on the Marxist concept of the withering of the State. Yep, when I think of Marx, I think of him *not* explaining things and keeping them vague! Or that Communism will bring a just and inherently good world, ignoring that half of Marx's writings were being very angry with Utopian communists that thought that... It's a shame people took this tripe so seriously, it works well as comic parody of the red scare.

Good cartooning, terrible history. Read as an example of rightwing Catholic propaganda, it’s fascinating.

People often point out that This Godless Communism is Cold War propaganda, and that’s fair enough. But some of the criticisms of it swing too far in the other direction and end up flattening the actual history of Marxism. For example, Marx was deeply shaped by Hegelian thought, including the idea that freedom is understood through necessity rather than as pure unconstrained choice. The comic simplifies this to the point of caricature, but the connection itself isn’t invented. The same thing applies to the “withering away of the state.” Yes, Marx believed that the state would eventually disappear in a fully communist society. But he also explicitly argued for a transitional period in which the state would take the form of a “dictatorship of the proletariat.” So yes, the comic is polemical and sometimes sloppy. But saying it’s nothing but “bad history” or parody ignores the fact that several of the themes it highlights actually do come straight out of Marx’s own writings. Whatever the theory says, the regimes built in Marx’s name left a trail measured not in freedom, but in prisons, famine, and graves - and left millions dead.
