Proletarianization

The quintessential British historian, Arnold Joseph Toynbee (1889-1975), in the chapter "Schism In The Soul" from his seminal work, A Study of History, “observed that one of the consistent symptoms of disintegration is that the elites begin to imitate those at the bottom of society and succumb to the sickness of proletarianization”.

A historical and sociological observation of the United States reveals that the elites no longer have a code of their own in which they have confidence. Noted sociologist Charles Murray writes, “The code of the gentleman has collapsed. The collapse of the old codes has left a vacuum that has been filled by tenets characterized by a distinctive "thug code" of underclass males, and the world of hip-hop is an expression of that code. Charles Murray then closes with the following statement: "Bill Clinton's presidency, in both its conduct and in the reaction to that conduct, was a paradigmatic example of elites that have been infected by "the sickness of proletarianization".

Moses Hess, compatriot of Karl Marx, urged Marx to adopt the Hegelian idea that the leveling of society should be accomplished through ‘spreading the wealth’. Such a philosophy plays into the proletarianization plan as advocated by Karl Marl in The Communist Manifesto. Karl Marx referred to religion and G-d as the opiate of the people.

Humanism is a Renaissance school of thought that incorporates a broad category of ethical philosophies emphasizing the dignity and worth of all people. Humanism claims to be able to determine right and wrong based on universal human qualities. Rejecting the validity of religious reasoning based on beliefs in G-d, Humanists impugn such texts as merely those of “allegedly divine origin”. Humanism is Ignostic and relishes its status as intellectually superior to persons with religious beliefs. Although Humanists focus on ethical behavior, Humanists simply have no need to be concerned with the existence of G-d.

Combine Humanism with proletarianization and the result is a destruction of society based on religious faith in G-d.
