Bergoglio's statement about private property was not only "blatantly marxist," it was profoundly at odds with the Catholic faith, the Church of 2,000 years, theology, doctrine, and common sense. His sophistry would be hilarious if it weren't so spellbinding for so many people.

"Man recreating himself as his own god, everyone equal, each master of his own destiny without oppression."

Exactly.

But hey, let's remember: the REAL danger to "democracy" (their word for dominion/color revolution installed governments) -- and the REAL harbinger of violence and death -- is the mythical "far right," upon which we have projected fascism, and thereby associated the two in the popular mind.

Very good piece. Many thanks.

Yep, and you know ALL the high places around my area are owned by the Catholic Church - I wonder if they will give up those property holdings to the 'collective'? I doubt it.

Any yes it's always the FAR right if you are anything but extreme left and therefore a fascist.

What an insane world.

Bergoglio thinks borders shouldn't matter; but the Vatican still has a friggen wall; the incoherence issuing from him is seemingly endless. And purposeful.

Fascism itself, as you know, is deeply collectivist; and most assuredly leftist in its essence and nature.

So, their projection is a bit of irony. But people swallow it.

And you need a vaccine pass to enter the Vatican.

The theory that Bergoglio is not Catholic seems worth considering. Besides his obvious Church-destroying behavior, we have his curious relationship with his suspected son, hard-leftist politician Rabbi Sergio Bergman of Buenos Aires, Argentina. https://www.barnhardt.biz/2022/02/01/speaking-of-bastard-sons-of-evil-communist-tyrants/

YouTube must be a white oppressive force you need to critically deconstruct and then ultimately overthrow if you are ever to watch videos again with any sort of equality (in the meantime I'll check the links).

Thanks, I am an ND sub. Links/embeds may be a Substack issue.

Fascinating connections you've drawn here. Who would have expected that an obscure priest from a backwater country would cast such a long shadow across history?

I know, right? (Of course, no one expects the spanish inquisition either.) Though I personally think that was why he was chosen; he was an unknown quantity.

I never understood why Benedict abdicated the papacy and Francis, his ideological opposite, was put in his place.

Good question. The answer is simple: they are not ideological opposites, despite superficial appearances. Both are revolutionaries.

I always get the impression that these socialists “intellectuals” want all this equal poverty for everyone but themselves. Funny how that works.

Thanks for a deep article. I will share it.

Klaus is just a public face, of course.

Sorry but klaus is not pushing any communism, but state corporatism aka Fascism.

People will own nothing, whereas in true socialism, the workers share ownership of production.

Instead we have a rentier system, as Michael Hudson explains in many interviews and articles.

PS, China and the USSR = state corporatism. Workers don't own shit.

It makes no difference whether the wealthy own it all or the party does, it's oppression.

This stupid idealism of free market capitalism is just another illusion of choice. Deregulation just made the west allow for more and more monopolization. You vill own nuffing and be happy.

Yes you are right - it's not communism per say for Klaus, but seems there's elements of Marxian philosophy being utilised to impose a type of totalitarianism - however that top-down control will be defined.

The truth no matter what you call it and I really don’t care what you call it is “they”don’t want us to own anything! They want as few of us alive as possible to do as much work for them as possible and they want us to have the barest minimum of food, clothing, and shelter to do that. What they mean by you will be happy is that we had just better shut up and take what little they choose to give us or else.

The "workers owning the means of production" always seemed to me to be an empty verbal formula based on a category error. How can a collective entity such as a Marxian class (or a Hitlerian race) even have an existence in any other way than as a set of words with no real referent - a mere abstraction! People can fall into the Quixotic mental trap of nominalism, treating verbalisms as real objects.

My point is that in practice, the "workers owning the means of production" turns out to be exactly the same as state corporatism, where the elites own everything.

This is very interesting. There is also an intellectual figure who is very important to Schwab, and this is Jacques Attali. https://rightsfreedoms.wordpress.com/2022/03/21/the-real-globalist-mastermind-behind-the-great-reset-prophet-jacques-attali-videos/

Thank you! I really appreciate this revealing analysis. Well worth the price of the subscription.

In my map, the 1958 coup in the Church appears to have been pivotal. https://whitesmoke1958.com/

The post-coup "anti-popes" have evidently been carrying out their mission. https://whitesmoke1958.com/
