41 The Ugly Hegel (Continued)
The Ugly Hegel begins with his most famous pupil, Marx, whose practical outplay makes his ideology the most murderous and tyrannous in all human history. By their fruits you will know them, Jesus said, and when we set the historical record against Marxism and the Capitalist Western liberal democratic vision, ”freedom is the victor,” as President Reagan said in his famous Brandenburg Gate speech. Why do I spend so much time explicating the origin of our present godlessness? We must understand who we are, and why, and then we can take action to counter the error and re-establish God in His seat. Until we do, we can expect things to get worse.

It is available on YouTube, read by the author, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gSISuvvQks I do not agree with all of Hicks’ analyses or conclusions, but his analytical commentary on the history of socialism is compact and accurate. In addition, I cannot recommend too highly the work of James Lindsay in his New Discourses podcast. He understands Hegel better than nearly anyone else out there, and has a talent for clearly explicating difficult material. https://newdiscourses.com/ https://newdiscourses.com/2022/01/theology-marxism/
