  1. Gnosticism is the root of modernity. Eric Voegelin argued that communism, alongside other modern ideologies like National Socialism and progressivism, can be understood as a form of secularized Gnosticism, essentially claiming that communism acts as a "religion of Gnosticism" by mirroring key Gnostic beliefs in a political context; particularly the idea of achieving a utopian "heaven on earth" through revolutionary action, rather than through traditional religious practices. Some of the beliefs of Gnosticism include: The god of the Old Testament is the devil Jesus is trying to liberate people from the god of the Old Testament Humans are Gods who need to realize their inherent Divinity The material cosmos is the result of a primordial error by a divine being

  2. Using debt as money that is controlled by private institutions is the real problem, not taxation. Incidentally however, taxation is part of this control mechanism. You can see it if you understand the mathematics of how it works (or doesn't)

  3. Oswald Spengler in his book, The Decline of the West, says that civilization is downstream of religion. Therefore if you wish to create your own civilization, one that you can control, you must kill civilization and replace its foundational religion first. This has largely been accomplished. I believe this was Nietzsche's lament on his proclamation the 'god is dead.' He was not happy about that.
