Title: Young People Should Hate Marxism
Topic: Marxism

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.

Does the Bible show men cannot be trusted with unchecked power?

Discussed by Sam Kastensmidt

Title: Part 3 of 3 - Young People Should Hate Marxism
Topic: Marxism

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.”

Title: Why Do Progressive Policies Fail?
Topic: Marxism

Discussed by Austin Prochko
with Texas Public Policy Foundation (www.TexasPolicy.com)

Part 1 of 3

Is more government really the solution to America’s failing economy?

Austin Prochko, with the Texas Public Policy Foundation, recently stated: “It is in Karl Marx’s ideology that the failures of the Left are rooted. This is not to say that all Progressives are Marxists or Socialists, although many are. But rather, the core of Marx’s philosophy has influenced, shaped, and determined the Left’s thought processes for more than a century.”

Questions/Issues Discussed:

What are some core Marxists ideas?

Are many Democrats falling over themselves to implement the core Marxist ideas? Austin discusses the Left’s proposals about homelessness, welfare, and gun control and why they aren’t working.

Did Marx believe that if religion (aka GOD) were removed from the world, then pure happiness and contentment would be achieved by the masses? Austin explains why he believes that Marxism is not just a political philosophy or economic philosophy; it is a “anti-theological theology”. He will discuss this further in the third segment…

Title: Part 2 of 3 - Why Do Progressive Policies Fail?
Topic: Marxism

Discussed by Austin Prochko
with Texas Public Policy Foundation (www.TexasPolicy.com)

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Has a Marxist-type government ever thrived anywhere in the world? Short answer: Nope – and it won’t work with “improvements”.

California and New York have some of the strictest gun control laws in the entire world. What is their current crime rate look like? Are their citizens safer than other cities?

Many cities in America have adopted a new philosophy for the homeless by giving them free rooms to keep them off the street. Has this helped the homeless problem in their cities or made it worse?

Do many Democrats believe that if government was given the power to solve our problems, then we would not have any problems? Austin explains why this idea is the opposite of fact!

There were many evils found in the post-industrial revolution society, such as poor working conditions, long hours, oppressive debt, disenfranchisement, and child labor. Did Marxist ideals magically make these problem disappear? Or did his suggestions make working conditions worse? How did the workers fight back?

Title: Part 3 of 3 - Why Do Progressive Policies Fail?
Topic: Marxism

Discussed by Austin Prochko
with Texas Public Policy Foundation (www.TexasPolicy.com)

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Marx wasn’t the first person with some crazy ideas about government. What were some of the earlier beliefs? Did any of those work out well? Austin briefly discusses this…

Did Marx believe that if religion (aka GOD) were removed from the world, then pure happiness and contentment would be achieved by the masses? Austin discussed this at length in the first segment. He states further that Marx believed that “religion makes people happy so we must take away that happiness so that they are so miserable they revolt”! What kind of crazy messed up idea is this?!?!

Is the US Constitution obsolete? Does the US Constitution need to be scrapped and rewritten? Short Answer: Hard NO!

Where do we go from here? How can we go back to a truer interpretation of the US Constitution? Austin urges people to get more involved at the local level first. It all starts at home. And we must continue the fight forever, never letting up.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Must Joe Biden keep all of Bernie Sanders ardent supporters?

Are Democrats focused on getting the majority of Americans to be ashamed of our country?

Title: Rejecting the Marxist Version of the Constitution
Topic: Marxism

Discussed by Robert Knight
with Robert H Knight (www.RobertHKnight.com)

The most loving, compassionate thing a Christian can do is not to encourage sinful behavior but to share the good news about a Savior who forgives any repentant soul's sins and can regenerate heart and soul.

Yes. Even those who believe that Marxism is best for our country. But what can we do about this disturbing trend?

Robert Knight recently made some remarks concerning this at the National Press briefing hosted by STAND Against Communism.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

What is the first rule of any Marxist revolution?

America's newsrooms are full of people who honestly believe that America needs to be taken down and replaced with a socialist, pansexual, atheist regime. Is the media weakening our society?

Is the public education system in America purposefully indoctrinating our children? Did this begin in colleges and universities? Is it now itself in our churches?

Is the family still the glue holding America together?

Jesus said that the world would bring tribulation. What else did he say?

What is the most loving, compassionate thing a Christian can do?

Abraham Lincoln once said: “The philosophy of the classroom in one generation becomes the philosophy of government in the next”. Cynthia Dunbar, an elected member of the Texas State Board of Education and Assistant Professor at Liberty University, quoted James Madison: “When error is allowed to become steeped in precedent, it leads to tyranny”.
