Topic: Marxism: The Ugly Truth
Discussed by Sam Kastensmidt
with Institute for Faith and Culture (www.institutefc.org/)
Part 1 of 3
Young people today are drawn toward utopian ideals believing a Marxist/Communist government is better than a free, Capitalist Government. However, they have not been taught the true horrors that occur under Communism. How can we resolve this?
New guest, Sam Kastensmidt, is the Pastor of Education at
Rio Vista Church in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He is also a guest contributor for the
Institute for Faith and Culture. Today, he discusses his latest op-ed: “Young People Should Hate Marxism”.
Sam Kastensmidt is the author of two books: “Christ from Creation” and “Christ in Creation”.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Why is it so concerning that young people favor Marxism/Communism over Capitalism?
Does Marxist thought deny man’s fallen nature and the existence of God? Sam Kastensmidt explains what this means for society – for believers and non-believers alike.

Topic: Marxism: The Ugly Truth
Discussed by Sam Kastensmidt
with Institute for Faith and Culture (www.institutefc.org/)
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Why do young people love Marxism? Sam Kastensmidt believes it all boils down to
less and less people going to church and believing in an all-knowing God and a
real heaven and hell, saying: “They’re desperate to bring utopia here.”
How should the Church respond to Marxism and its’ failures?
What must Christians do going forward? Sam Kastensmidt says: “We
need to get back to understanding that the Church has a role… [in] teaching
society the ways that are going to bring about prosperity and flourishing.”
