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 twentieth 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 twentieth 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.

Excellent book! Tons of great info inside!

Kengor is a true expert on this subject and one of the handful of people where I'll actively seek out their work to read and learn. This is book, The Devil and Karl Marx, is another solid Kengor effort. Lot's of important content here.

The info on Marx, which covers roughly the first third of the book, goes a long way to confirming some of my own personal theories on the nature of Communism. IMO, Communism isn't so much a collection of economic policies, but a psychological phenomena, whereby losers and degenerates and resentful people take revenge and try to harm others. This book shows that Marx was a loser in his personal life and through an analysis of Marx's "literary work" that he did indeed like to see people destroyed and consistently worked with hellish imagery.

The other point it shows is that Marx was intent on subverting Christianity. That is a theme that runs through the book. Concrete examples of how Marxists would focus on undermining Christianity and Christians.

Another part that stood out to me as particularly important was the last section where Kengor goes through some more recent figures like Kate Millett and Wilhelm Reich who were founders of the morality which now dominates our society: feminism and so-called sexual freedom. One engaged in Maoist Communist rituals and the other was a sexual abuse victim who went on to practice bestiality. And the teachings of these people now define our society. Dear God!

Oh yeah I also found the history on the founders of the ACLU, as well as the Foster-Fish Congressional testimony on the nature of the Communist Party of the United States particularly enlightening. I'm a sucker for that history of the origins of this movement in the United States.

This book is good for anyone who wants to dig into Communism and gain a deeper understanding of what we are up against.

This book should be taken seriously. It exposes the common roots of so much of the current turmoil. The problem is the people who will read this already know, or at least sense, where all the wokeness/cancel culture/social justice emanates from. The people who identify with the last triad don't understand they are being used and wouldn't touch this book-such a shame.

Why Marx Matters: The direction Marx leads is always opposite of The Way of religion

Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2020

Author Paul Kengor, a nationally respected historian/political science professor, dedicated his career to researching the Reagan/JPII crusade to topple communism. Kengor’s newest book explains how and why the roots of evil empires remain.

In The Devil and Karl Marx: Communism’s Long March of Death, Deception and Infiltration (TAN Books, 2020), Paul Kengor reveals atheistic communism’s fixation on the enemy: Satan and the occult.
Choosing to fight God and The Way inevitably leads to God’s greatest foe, the divider, the liar, and the prince of darkness.

Very good read about the history of Karl Marx and the history of Marxism. It's very dark and twisted so reader beware! This information needs to be told because it's eerily similar to what is happening right now.

Chilling!

Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2020

It would be easy to assume that the anger and malice of Marxists, is the product of naivete or ignorance, if not for their deceptions. As those who promote socialism in our nation lie without conscience, attack culture, and promote division, one wonders what motivates them. If socialism will move us toward justice, equality, fairness, and a better world, why do the acolytes of Marxism work to silence their enemies, kill the unborn, and attack their fellow citizens?
This book offers and overview of Marxist thought, from it's roots to modern times.
Marxism may be renamed or rebranded, but all collectivism is built on lies--not just economic unfeasibility, but a truly demonic deception. Whether called progressive, socialist, or communist, the movement is a product of The Father of Lies, which ultimately results in suffering and death. From its philosophical goal of destroying religion, to the goal of controlling and enslaving those it purports to favor, the movement embodies the spirit of antichrist.

How strong is the deception? Despite using BLM and minorities, Marxism is riddled with racism and eugenicist themes. Minorities, Jews, and pro-choice activists are being recruited as the "useful idiots" to fight for what always ushers in oppression.

As cities like Portland, Kenosha and Louisville are destroyed by organized activists, we see the ruthless disregard for people who live there, we see violence and shameless thuggery, and we see willful destruction. All are intended to wound, not heal. Saul Alinsky famously said, "The despair is there; now it’s up to us to go in and rub raw the sores of discontent, galvanize them for radical social change."

Incredible Facts, exiciting truths of the origin of the current troubles in the USA

Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2020

It amazed me how much information with footnotes is in this book. It opened my eyes to the reason for the current troubles in the United States of America. Not only is the research and information provided well-thought-out and presented. But it is actually an enjoyable read. Who would have thought reading about this sinister human being and his useful idiots would be fun? This is a must-read for those who want to know the truth about the communist/socialist agendas. Anyone who dismisses this book is either a communist or has a high degree of intellectual disability.

Communism brings poverty, death, and destruction everywhere it goes. Americans need to wake up to the fact that they live in the best, most free country in history. Weak men and women are made in good times, and it will take strong men and women to save this country from entering bad times.

Communism is Death

Reviewed in Canada on October 6, 2020

It figures that communism would receive its modern incarnation from louts and no-gooders like Marx and Engels. The thing about Satan is the world really does work that way, by the interaction of opposites like good and evil, love and hate, etc. to produce something new. Yin & Yang. The fact that Marx and Engels took no responsibility for themselves is a sign that we as individuals should. Complacency is the real killer.

A devil to rate

Reviewed in Canada on January 13, 2021

At first I was delighted with this book. I have been on a journey of learning more about socialism, Marxism, and communism, so I am grateful for anything that enlightens me. Although I saw early on that the author had a bias in favour of the Roman Catholic Church as some sort of bulwark against communism, which sent up red flags, I stuck with him because I appreciated his clarity of definition and engaging writing style.

However, as I continued reading I realized that his bias is a serious flaw. I long ago learned the history of the Roman Catholic Church, and I know that it, through the ages, has been as much of a beast as communism. But Kengor is either blind to this, or, if he is aware, does not want his readers to be aware.

As I continued to read The Devil and Karl Marx, I realized Kengor had an agenda to present the Roman Catholic beast in the best possible light. He excused or diminished or overlooked the sins, persecutions, tortures, slaughters, and all the sordid things of the RC Church. Yet, at the same time he presented the communist beast in the worst possible light, revealing all the sordid things about its founders and adherents. He was pitting one beast against the other, one as an evil devil and the other as a righteous angel. This is so wrong, it brought my rating of the book way down.

There was so much I appreciated in Kengor’s book! As a writer myself, who has had to wade through ugly histories, I know what he meant (and I laughed) when he talked about having to shelve his research into Marxism for a while because it pollutes the mind. I had to wade through such material in my own histories of the Reformation and when writing about the Matthew Bible. Kengor is an engaging writer and good teacher. It is a pity his work was so marred. Just a few points I noticed:

1. He made a big point of saying the commies were particularly successful in duping Protestants.

2. He says it is only correct to capitalize “Church” when speaking of the RC Church.

3. Mariolatry: He spoke of how a converted commie found peace bowing before a statue of Mary. (p 282) In his discussion of this woman’s “conversion” he made no mention at all of Christ. (p 282). These are RC errors, of course.

4. His presentation of Christ reveals a misunderstanding of how he is man’s Saviour. At p 399 he quotes Pope Ratzinger (sorry I don’t recall the pious name this pope took) teaching Christ as “the measure of true humanism.” Ratzinger said a “mature adult faith is deeply rooted in friendship with Christ.” These fair but false words do not present Christ as the Son of God come in the flesh to save man from his sins, and salvation as the knowledge of God through Christ. (Not “friendship with” Christ. What is that?) Such statements do not give the saving knowledge of Christ.

5. Kengor mocked the idea that Pope Pious XII was called Hitler’s pope. But surely he knows that one of his fellow RCs, John Cornwell, set out to research and defend Pope Pious XII only to discover that he really was Hitler’s pope. And Cornwell published a book about his discoveries called “Hitler’s Pope,” which everyone should read.

With regret therefore this book gets a low score from me. There are other sources that teach very well about communism, such as The Epoch Times news, which publishes print newspaper available in Canada and online.
