In this fascinating interview, Joshua Philipp, Investigative Reporter for the Epoch Times, explains the Communist Chinese influence on the US following the police killing of George Floyd. Philipp explains how Marxists encourage and benefit from extreme political division and civil unrest.

Philipp mentions the Church’s historic opposition to Marxism and its dialectic materialism:

Well, communism is, it’s not amoral, it is anti-moral. It is a system that doesn’t just look to say, we don’t believe in anything, whatever—which you could say some forms of liberalism might hold that, you know, I do what I want, you do what you want. I don’t care what you say. Funny enough, I’d say a lot of the modern conservatives embody that when it comes to libertarianism, right? It can be amoral in some sense, but it’s a sense of tolerating other people’s lifestyles and not treading on them, basically.

Communism is anti-moral. It’s this idea that I do what I want, and if you don’t acknowledge it, if you don’t believe in what I want you to believe, then you’re the bad guy. Right? This goes back to … I don’t know if you want to get into the early origins of communism, but it was based a lot in this whole naturist concept. It was really popular during the Enlightenment, and, you know, especially in the French Revolution folks and these guys. … It was a belief, right? You have to remember they were rebelling, not just against kings, they were rebelling against the Catholic Church. It was an anti-religious rebellion, not just one like in the United States, where it was against the tyranny of the king. And so it was this idea that man is of nature. And so anything that emerges from human nature is therefore righteous. And so if anything that emerges from human nature is righteous, any desire you have, any whim you have, then anything that restrains that is unrighteous. So morality is evil by their interpretation. It’s a morality of immorality, right? Good is evil and evil is good from the traditional standpoint. And this is why in today’s society we have it, so that people unknowingly embody that. They think that they are being moral. They think they’re fighting for the oppressed classes when they go and attack people who believe in tradition, when they go and attack people who still believe in, say, religion and traditional values because they think people having morals that oppose what they want are the ones who are bad.
