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.

The voice of the book comes from a strongly Christian view point. If that offends you, you may have a problem reading this book. I would encourage you to try.

If you are open minded enough to overlook that, then you can find the reason why Communism always ends in death. It will help dispel the myth that it hasn't been done right and that it works exactly how Marx intended. It does this by showing you Marx's other works and describing his life style. He was not a very good man to put it lightly.

If you do not know very much about Communism, and Marx this would be a good starting point. If on the other hand, you want to continue parroting the line that it "Communism hasn't been done right" skip this book and stay ignorant.

Lucifer is clearly the actual original author of communism.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 24, 2020

Verified Purchase

This book is only a reaffirmation of what I have known for many years, that the ultimate inspiration of atheistic communism was not from Karl Marx but rather infused into his mind from Lucifer. People always ask me how does the devil “cause” or “inspire” ideas, whether communism or other wicked ideas such as evolution or lustful images. The answer is that although God restrains the demons, God nevertheless wishes to allow us to be tempted so that it can be manifested where our loyalty is, for God or against God.
If a soul is in a state of grace, the wicked temptations are less or alternatively God gives His friends great aid to resist. But in those people in a state of mortal sin, upon whom is written the condemnation of perdition, God allows the demons to have great power to tempt. In other words, God gives demons power to DIRECTLY stimulate certain neurons in the brain to bring out impure images or alternatively to stimulate the non corporeal soul to certain ideas, such as the notion to exterminate all Christians. The communists who commit such murders are not aware that they have had direct brain or soul stimulation. They “just feel” the hatred against Christians and of Jesus Christ. They don’t really know why they feel so strongly. But it is indirectly their own fault for being in a state of mortal sin. And demons are allowed by God to have immense power over these people. They hate God. They hate those people who love God. But these atheists don’t know at all WHY they have such hatred. The answer is that it is the demons inside of them....not, mind you, of demon possession as exorcists understand the term, but rather of the very great influence these demons have to DIRECTLY cause the firing of visual neurons to bring about impure images or DIRECTLY stimulating certain centers of the immaterial soul to cause passions of hate and contempt toward Christ and His servants. The demons are very restricted to these temptations in people who are in a state of grace (although even here God sometimes allows demons to cause violent temptations to them to further try His saints or to increase their crown of glory, yet does He aid them greatly unlike in souls who are in mortal sin). But these atheists and communist murderers cannot just claim that it was the demons or the the head demon, Lucifer, that made them feel such hate and commit such atrocities when they are brought to the Severe Judge. No. They themselves are guilty for being in mortal sin from not praying, not avoiding the occasion of sin, and thence into all iniquity.

Buy This Book and Learn to Think for Yourself

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 14, 2020

Verified Purchase

Don’t pay attention to the gaslighting reviewers who rate this book to be worthless and who condescendingly question the intelligence of readers offering positive reviews. This book is very well researched! The author supplies copious references and notes to reliable and trustworthy sources like depositions by sympathetic and non-sympathetic (= defectors from the cause) socialists before Congress, sworn affidavits, numerous secondary literature from those, like Lenin, who are sympathetic to Marx, as well a great number of defectors from communist countries who wrote memoirs, in addition to a numerous citations and quotations from the works of Karl Marx and Frederick Engels and sympathetic, scholarly writers who interpret their ideas through biographies, commentaries, and literary criticism. There’s a lot here not to like, which has nothing to do with the author’s scholarship or the intelligence of the positive reviewers of this work. What’s not to like in this book is the bloody truth about the twisted, mendacious toxicity unleashed on the world through the activities and works of Karl Marx, Frederick Engels, and others like Lenin, Pol Pot, Joseph Stalin, and Mao who took their ideas and implemented them in history. The millions of dead, tortured, maimed, murdered, and killed tells the real story. This is what’s not to like about this book. As Alexandr Solzhenitsyn said in his famous Harvard address: “truth seldom is pleasant.” So, don’t allow the negative reviewers to dissuade you from buying and reading this unpleasant book which tells the truth about Karl Marx and all those inspired by his writings. Karl Marx’s conception of dialectical materialism and the revolutionary movements inspired by it have left a trail of death and destruction that are a matter of historical record! No amount of gaslighting can make the historical record go away, a record aptly attested to, albeit unpleasant, in this book. The thought police are well documented in this book and they are out in droves today as well, coercing others to think like themselves, or else. This is the way of Karl Marx, unpleasant because true. Buy this book and learn to reclaim your own mind and way of thinking from the social coercion and collective tyranny inspired by the writings of Karl Marx and his practitioners whose governments and movements institutionalized criminal behavior, as Paul Kengor’s impeccable research here demonstrates. The historical record is beyond dispute, and well attested in this book, and no amount of gaslighting can make it go away.

A devil to rate

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on January 13, 2021

Verified Purchase

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.

Excellent! Thoroughly researched.

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on October 3, 2021

Verified Purchase

This book is thoroughly researched and Paul Kengor presents much evidence to substantiate the claims that he makes. The book is well written, in a clear, precise style, which makes this work easy to read. It is a complex subject, so this is no easy feat. The material is also presented chronologically, which again makes it easy to follow.

This book adds much to the actual understanding of Marxism and lays bare its true nature and objectives.
I highly recommend it to millenials, who, as many surveys have shown, view socialism more favorably than capitalism, without having a real understanding of its destructive force in every society where it has been implemented. An understanding of the true foundations of communism/ socialism and cultural Marxism is the essential antidote to the menacing hold that it now has on Western societies. This book is a must read for anyone concerned about what is now happening in free nations everywhere.

Communism is Death

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on October 6, 2020

Verified Purchase

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.
