The current day globalist capitalism that became dominant since the mid-1980s, could not have been successful without the Marxist weakening and breaking down of the moral standards in the West.
To build the economy without a strong ethical foundation has legalized greed, theft and lack of accountability among the ruling elites.
The Billionaire World and Karl Marx: The socialist revolt against classical, Western values has greatly weakened traditional, historical ideals such as the demand for individual accountability, the right to own the fruit of one’s own labour, the establishment of decentralized government and independent institutions, private property rights, and equality regardless of race, class, or gender, writes Hanne Nabintu Herland, historian of religions and bestselling author, founder of The Herland Report and its corresponding YouTube Channel and Podcast.
The Marxist aim of crushing social stability to impose a centralized government and the atheist world order, destroying the “bourgeoisie” family structure and the nation state has been a crucial social disturbance building block, from which the billionaire class has successfully used to strengthen their position.
Marxism in its varying forms has been the perfect tool against everything that worked well in the West. It implemented chaos, unhappiness, loneliness, poverty and the reintroduction of a slavery system in which citizens become “useful idiots” to state leaders, enabling near total censorship and population control.
The Billionaire World and Karl Marx: The Marxist repressing of free speech and critical thinking for those who oppose the left-wing narrative; abolishing the critical press and the traditional moral codex that requires personal responsibility and trustworthiness, has greatly helped the billionaire class in silencing opposition.
The process towards cultural annihilation that we are currently experiencing, has weakened democracy, confused and silenced the people, thereby removing the final obstacles for the billionaire class to gain near total control.
Trust is one of the ethical principles that make the difference between constructive and self-destructive operation in profit-driven financial businesses. In cultures where social development does not place sufficient weight on ethical norms and the reliability of its institutions, trust gradually dissipates.

The Billionaire World and Karl Marx: A study of requirements for the optimal functioning of Capitalism quickly uncovers the need for a strong focus on trust. This applies to economics on the micro level as well as the macro perspective.
People cannot function together unless definite values regulate daily choices. However, the content of values is culturally contingent.
Thus, the question arises: which values are we pushing for in the West today? Certainly, not the traditional foundational ethics that defined the age in which Capitalism first originated, as an economic model strongly tied to the Protestant Ethic.
So, what greatly weakened the trust in the Protestant Ethic, that used to set the rules and ideals that defines how we were supposed to act and treat one another in the West?
The decades-long, rampant Marxist influence that culminated in the 1960s student revolutions has managed to harass, subdue, and pacify opposition, creating an obedient, fearful population, easily controlled by the strict requirement of socialist groupthink.
The socialist tool to achieve the destruction of civil society has always been the repression of free speech for those who disagree with them.
Quite clearly, this has not been the aim of many a naïve socialists, who simply wished to search for the best possible way to help others. In their search for a better world with more justice, they were told only part of what socialism really is about—and believed it. The totalitarian aim of its founders was not communicated to its gullible followers.
The irony is that the leaders of the socialist movement were extremely clear on their intent to crush Western civil society, even to the point of calling their own followers who would help them accomplish the goal “useful idiots”.The idea was that from the rubble of a destroyed society would rise a utopian, classless world in which man would be God. Civilization would, therefore, have to be completely rebuilt.
The spoken aim of the 1800s rebel philosopher, the father of communism and socialism, and the hero of the progressive Left, Karl Marx, was the ruthless criticism of Western culture and the abolition of all religion and all morality in a bloody revolution that produced the total destruction of modern society.
The path to a better future, to quote him, was “the forcibly overthrow of all existing social conditions, a revolution that cares as little about the human lives it destroys an as earthquake cares about the houses it ravages”.
The founding fathers of the socialist movement, such as Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin were extremely clear on their intent to crush the historic West through revolutions that produced the abolition of all religion and all morality, even calling their own followers who would help them accomplish the goal “useful idiots”.
The socialist tool to achieve the demolition of civil society has always been the repression of free speech for those who disagree with them.
Marxism in its varying forms has been the perfect tool against everything that worked well in the West.

This new system is in line with the Leninist slogan that in order to achieve one’s goals, “the end justifies the means”. (It was Sergey Nechayev, author of The Revolutionary Catechism and a member of the Russian Nihilist movement, who reportedly first used the phrase “the end justifies the means” as his own creed.)
Marx portrayed himself as a fighter for the lower classes, yet rather introduced a system in which the Marxist state mafia would take over the role of feudal lords and completely deprive the worker of the ownership of his revenues. His aim was arguably never to help the workers but to use them to do the dirty job in a revolution that would put him and his friends at the top of the economic order.
He did not shy away from despicable language, calling blacks “idiots” and the N-word, labelling Slavs as “ethnic trash”, naming the working class whom he professed to care about “stupid boys”, and detesting Jews although he was one himself.
