The video is excellent, Parky

For those who do not watch videos, the printed word is still priceless for detail:

Communism and Marxism: Different, Yet the Same ~ Deceptive, godless Atheistic Violent Tyranny

19th-century Atheist, German philosopher Karl Marx, the founder and primary theorist of Marxism, viewed religion as "the soul of soulless conditions" or the "opium of the masses."

Communism and Marxism are often conflated, but there is a basic difference between the two ideologies. Karl Marx developed the theory of Marxism, which focuses on his self perceived, imagined class struggle to lead to social change, while the existence of any form of Supernaturalism or Deity is not acknowledged to be even a possibility...

The stated utopic goal of Marxism is the creation of a materialistic society in which everyone receives equal material wealth.

Communism was developed by Vladimir Lenin, based upon Karl Marx's Marxist theory, in order to implement it.

The key professed difference between communism and Marxism is that communists believe in using violence to achieve their goals, while Marxists claim that they do not. Both ideologies, however, have been used historically, as a justification for committing terrible atrocities, even as they deny that their philosophies are inherently evil.

Learning about these godless theories that so oppose and threaten a free society in advance equips a nation's citizenry, especially its youth, to understand world events as they recognize these man-made philosophical ideologies at play, and to make better informed personal and political decisions whenever confronted by them.

According to Marx, religion in this world of exploitation is only the people's expression of distress, as well as their protest against their real distress. IOW, according to Marx, religion continues to survive because of oppressive social conditions. Marx theorized that when this oppressive and exploitative condition is destroyed, religion will become unnecessary, as he simultaneously, saw religion as a form of protest by the working classes against their poor economic conditions and their "alienation."

Denys Turner, a Marx and historical theology scholar, classified Marx's views as "Post-Theism," a philosophical position that the worshiping of God, or any deities, although it will eventually be obsolete, is a temporarily necessary stage in human spiritual development as all humanity is freed from any need to worship.

In the Marxist-Leninist interpretation, all modern religions and churches are considered as "organs of proletarian/elitist reaction" serving to achieve the purpose of "the exploitation and the stupefaction of the working class." A number of Marxist-Leninist governments in the 20th century such as the Soviet Union after Vladimir Lenin and the People's Republic of China under Mao Zedong, implemented rules outlawing religion and introducing state atheism.

Chronic unsettled confusion obscures the existing differences between Communism and Marxism. At times, the two terms are used interchangeably, and at others are treated as completely different ideologies. Any differences now existing between the two concepts have evolved over time.

Marxism as an economic and social system based upon the political and economic theories of Karl Marx, has formed the foundation of existing communist societies around the world.

It was founded by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in the 19th century. "Marxism" teaches that capitalism is a mode of production where the capitalists/ bourgeoisie continually exploit the proletariat/workers.

Marxism is considered one of the most important theories in history, having reshaped our understanding of capitalism, socialism, and communism, as it has been used to justify revolutions and uprisings around the world. It's use has also created some of history's most oppressive regimes.

Communism is a political and economic system based on the ideas fomented by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in seeking the mechanism whereby they might create a "classless society."

Communism is a system in which the government owns the means of production, there is no private property, and, it is claimed, in which everyone receives a pay amount from their Communist masters that is "according to their individual needs."

Communism is the final stage of socialism. It is a society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs... as determined by those Communist elites who have risen to ruling positions of power. It's claim is to be a society that is free from all exploitation, oppression, and class distinction.

The Differences between Communism and Marxism

Definition: Marxism is an economic and political theory, while Communism is the governmental vehicular form used to implement Marxism upon the people.
Date: Marxism, as a theory, was created in the 1840s; Communism was then actualized with the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, capturing the Russian government.
Focus: Marxism's focus is on propagandizing the working classes into believing they have a perpetual struggle against the elite/upper class, while Communism's focus is upon creating a classless society.
Achievement: Marxism is achieved through a violent revolution, while Communism can be achieved either by peaceful revolution, or through violence - whichever is required.
Belief: Marxism believes in the existence of a class struggle while Communism does not.
Application: Marxism is applied in a country once it has become a Socialist state, while Communism has no intermediary, and is applied from the beginning.
Dependency: Marxism is dependent on economic conditions while Communism is not.
Claimed Goals: The goal of Marxism is to create a classless society while the goal of Communism is to create a stateless, classless society - which then inevitably devolves into a Communist ruled state with Communist top leadership as the elite class.
Ownership: Marxism believes in "public" ownership of the means of production - with the Marxist leaders assuming control, and in charge, ostensibly "on behave of the public," while Communism believes in "collective ownership" of the means of production, through a collective of Communist party elites and manufacturing/production elites, again on behave of an invisible powerless "public."
Dictatorship: Marxism believes in a dictatorship of the proletariat while Communism does not believe in any form of dictatorship, although fully functioning as one.
Human nature: Marxism believes in the existence of a proletariat while Communists [as do Progressives] believe in the perfectibility of humans, which came straight from the hiss of the serpent in the Garden, "you shall be as God" (and the dream has never died).
Freedom: Marxism upholds the principle of freedom, although never producing it, while Communism makes no such claim.
Equality: Marxism claims to uphold the principle of equality while Communism does not bother.
Democracy: Marxism purports belief in a democratic state while Communism does not believe in democracy.
Internationalism: Marxism believes in the principle of internationalism while Communism does not, although, in reality, both seek world domination.
Science: Marxism upholds the "scientific method" while Communism makes no such claim.
Religion: Marxism is atheistic while Communism can assume the persona of either atheism or theism.
Human nature: Marxism believes in the existence of a proletariat while Communism claims not to believe in any form of class, although unavoidably creating one through their leader's inevitable powerful preeminence in any society they control.
