This is Part 2 of a two-part series. Part 1, From Marx’s Dream to Stalin’s Nightmare, was published on 3 August 2026.

To understand Global Neo-Marxism, we need to understand some realities; not the politically cleaned-up propaganda version, but the brutal realities of our lives, and where we might be headed, if this train is not derailed real soon!

___

As the collective memory of Stalin’s USSR fades, many no longer fear the threat of communism in the way the West did in the 1950s and 1960s. But Marxism never died, it transformed and became new, hence Neo-Marxism; much harder to define perhaps because we are not looking for it in the way our forebears looked at Stalin’s empire. Today, there is no official central government yet, and there is no single leader or dictator.

Winston Churchill won World War II for the British, with the help of their allies; then lost his first post war general election and went onto the opposition benches. Two years later, he had this to say in parliament:

Democracy is not a caucus, obtaining a fixed term of office by promises, and then doing what it likes with the people. We hold that there ought to be a constant relationship between the rulers and the people. ‘Government of the people, by the people, for the people,’ still remains the sovereign definition of democracy…

Many forms of Government have been tried and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time; but there is the broad feeling in our country that the people should rule, continuously rule, and that public opinion, expressed by all constitutional means, should shape, guide, and control the actions of Ministers who are their servants and not their masters. (Winston S Churchill, House of Commons, 11 November 1947, vol 444 cc203-321) (my emphasis)[1]

Churchill was referencing the Fascist dictatorships of Adolf Hitler and Musulin as well as taking aim at Joseph Stalin’s Soviet Union, where the horrors of deportations, slaughter and psychological warfare were just coming into public consciousness. George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four[2] was about to come off the press two years later. The introduction reads:

The year is 1984. War and revolution have left the world unrecognisable. Great Britain, now known as Airstrip One, is ruled by the Party, led by Big Brother. Mass surveillance is everywhere and the thought Police ensure no individual thinking is allowed.

Both Churchill and Orwell would easily have found resonance with their audience. Churchill championing democracy as the supreme defence against the extremes of fascism and communism. While Orwell could see that neither were dead. Today, Global Neo-Marxism is becoming our reality.

This article considers seven present realities, and asks the question: ‘Isn’t this Marxism dressed in new clothes and shouldn’t we be concerned?’

1. God and belief in His creation have been eradicated

Man is now simply the prime animal on the planet, and his objective is survival. His actions are instinctive, not rational, so he is not held responsible for his actions. Rather, he must be controlled by those who know what’s best for the collective ‘common good.’

God’s biblical redemptive narrative from original sin to forgiveness and life, is now no longer acknowledged, nor personal responsibility taken as sin is not regarded as real. Our Godless society is just like that of Stalin’s Soviet Union. Arguably, Stalin expelled the Christian faith out of most people, replacing it with the new official faith in the state.

There were a few who held out and clung to their Christian faith; some grandparents and some who escaped the cities to remote communities, where the state systems had less reach. Some courageous grandparents sought to disciple their grandchildren, but often they fought a losing battle.

Here in Australia, our Constitution opens:

WHEREAS the people of New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Queensland, and Tasmania, humbly relying on the blessing of Almighty God, have agreed to unite in one indissoluble Federal Commonwealth under the Crown of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and under the Constitution hereby established: (9 July 1900) (my emphasis)[3]

Yet, in nearly all our official assemblies we are asked to acknowledge, and pay respect to, Australia’s First Nations, rather than humbly relying on Almighty God:

The Australian Government acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and acknowledges their continuing connection to land, waters and community. We pay our respects to the people, the cultures and the Elders past and present.[4]

2. Fear of thinking critically and speaking out

Most of us know there is something out of place in our society, but we find it hard to articulate what. It is not due to any lack in our cognitive skills, but much more to do with the fact that we have been manipulated, nudged,[5] to think in a certain controlled way. The result, we self-censor our thinking, and in turn, our speech.

When we see what happens to those who speak out, we are made to think of them as crazy fanatics, or at best conspirators. They lose their jobs, and we might secretly think, serve them right! They might suffer family and marriage breakdowns. They might be taken to court and get awarded hefty fines, made bankrupt, lose all their homes, and perhaps be thrown into gaol, as in the case of Monica Smit[6] here in Australia and Tommy Robinson[7] in the United Kingdom.

We know that manipulation is real. We say to ourselves – ‘let’s not go there, let’s distract ourselves with happy thoughts, let’s not rock the boat, let’s conform, we can’t change a thing, can we?’ Stalin recognised that the Soviet people needed to be moulded into compliance and support, recognising the role of writers in crafting his communist propaganda:

The production of souls is more important than the production of tanks… And therefore, I raise my glass to you, writers, the engineers of the human soul. (Joseph Stalin, 1932) (my emphasis)

Most of Stalin’s people were played as the propaganda was effective. They were so enthralled by their Five-Year-Plans that they ‘denounced’ their own family in search of personal security and favour with the Party.[8]

3. Censorship of people and ideas that oppose the government narrative

First, there was deplatforming, the ‘removal and banning of a registered user, from a mass communication medium, such as a social networking or blogging website.’ Or more broadly, ‘to prevent from having or providing a platform to communicate’ (Mirriam-Webster’s definition).

Consider two sides to this. Who is doing the deplatforming and why? On what criteria are they making their judgement calls? At best, it is the response of someone who does not want to listen to an opposing view, someone who is closing their mind and heart to another, cutting them off, cancelling them out of their lives, as if they never existed. Additionally, they have decided that they don’t want anyone else hearing or seeing what the deplatformed might have had to offer. The height of arrogance!

Then there is the deplatformed perspective. They are denied the freedom to peacefully and respectfully express their views; as if they had been arrested and imprisoned with no legal recourse to answer the charges made against them.

Today, deplatforming is more accurately being described as censorship. Peer-reviewed journal articles are removed from traditionally respected publications. Social media creators must adhere to the restrictions required by their provider.

In a free society, an independent provider certainly has the right to moderate what is published on their own platform, but when the dots are joined up, and they all lead back to the government’s narrative, it must be recognised as state sanctioned censorship. The government justify their control, with the call that it is all to ‘protect us,’ for ‘the common good.’

Examples abound. Google ‘controls’ what can be found on the internet. YouTube channels can be demonetised with no warning or need for justification and even cancelled. ChatGPT only gives a government-sanctioned version to questions; for example, on climate change or the rape gangs scandal in the UK.

What about Lucy Connolly, impassioned for 31 months for expressing outrage on social media at the murder of innocent children in Southport, England (29 July 2024), despite deleting her post after four hours.[9] Doesn’t that smell like a police state that bans anyone from speaking out, if they oppose their view?

Look at Christian church pulpits. What topics are preachers allowed to preach? What vexed issues are never discussed? This too is censorship, not external, but self-censorship from fear of the consequences, often financial, but certainly perceived as reputational. Many church leaders and movement heads have been silenced, so no one rocks the boat.

4. Adults who do not understand right from wrong

‘Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred and twenty thousand persons who cannot discern between their right hand and their left’ (Jonah 4:11). This obscure verse in the Old Testament, has sparked speculation as to its meaning, but the most likely explanation references a people who can’t discern what is right from wrong, their moral compass having been corrupted.

In the West, many politicians,[10] lawyers and teachers can’t define what a woman is. The result: men competing in women’s sports, using female-only restrooms, and the introduction of unisex toilets in public buildings. This has been foisted on society under the guise of tolerance for diversity, but at what cost?

The same sex-marriage debate falls into this category. We know that opposites attract, God made us that way! The only way humans can reproduce is through opposites falling in love and marrying, a male with a female. A so-called same-sex union goes nowhere.

And what about the children, don’t they have rights? Shouldn’t every child be afforded the love and nurture of a father and a mother? Homosexuality was the root of the same sex-marriage error. God’s original design was commonsense, practical, productive and biblical:

… For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise, also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. (Romans 12:26-27)

To pretend homosexuality is natural is simply a denial of the existence of sin, a deliberate expression and acceptance of what is wrong, as though it were right.

5. The Uniparty in Western nations^[11]

The United Kingdom and Australia (at the time of writing) have had a two-party system for decades, Labour on the left, with the Conservatives, in the UK, and the Liberal/Nationals in Australia, on the right. Elections have swung victory like a pendulum from left to right, each side keeping the other in check, demonstrating effective accountability.

However, as time has gone by, both left and right have moved left, while from the outside they still look like opposing parties, but their voting record and policies demonstrate they have formed one single Uniparty. The main driver for their unity has been to outsmart the rise of the so-called ‘populist parties’ from the so-called ‘far-right’, like One Nation here in Australia.

The result for the voter has been that they no longer have any opportunity to challenge the ‘ruling class’ at the ballot box. To all intents and purposes, they have become the self-confessed ‘Party’ of Marxist design. Anyone who dares oppose their narrative and rhetoric gets rewarded with lawfare or worse.

Marine Le Pen[12] in France, and Pauline Hanson[13] here in Australia are two prominent figures mounting a challenge to their respective Uniparty. The ruling party are desperate to maintain and increase their power over their people, reflecting Stalin’s engineering of power over his people, but without the Great Terror. Let’s pray that the current political trajectory will never lead us towards that horror, but we mustn’t be so naïve as to think that it could never happen.

6. Deindustrialisation and the globalists’ dream^[14]

Australia’s biggest container ports, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, are our lifeline for energy and manufactured goods to reach us from the Middle East, China and Southeast Asia. The current conflict in the Middle East that is interrupting global energy distribution has put the spotlight on Australia’s vulnerability to external parties, with its national diesel reserves as low as 20 days.[15] We have become addicted to just-in-time supply and cheap imports, but at what cost?

Some notable mining and manufacturing industry closers:

• BHP Steelworks, Newcastle, New South Wales, 30 September 1999
• Mitsubishi Motors, Lonsdale and Tonsley Park, South Australia, March 2008
• Alcoa, Aluminium Smelter, Moolap, Victoria, August 2014
• Ford Motor Company, Geelong, 26 September 2016, and Broadmeadows, Victoria, 7 October 2016
• Hazelwood open-cut brown coal mine, Latrobe Valley, Victoria, 31 March 2017
• Toyota, Altona, Victoria, 3 October 2017
• Holden, Elizabeth, South Australia, 20 October 2017
• Liddell Power Station, Hunter Valley, New South Wales, 28 April 2023
• Cook Colliery underground coal mine, Blackwater, Queensland, 28 November 2025

In a capitalist world, it makes sense to source the cheapest products to maximise the retail mark-ups. However, this has all been predicated by a globalist worldview with zero trade tariffs, but we mustn’t forget the transport supply line costs and vulnerabilities.

This global interconnected economic scenario is great for a world without borders and a one-world government, but ignores the power dynamics. Producers can manage the supply and value of their goods, while consumers are at their mercy. Trade routes can be cut by a grounded ship, such as the 400 m long, 200,000-ton container ship Ever Given, that blocked the Suez Canal from 23^rd March 2021, for six days.[16]

Were we asked if we wanted to lose our jobs? Were we asked if we agreed with deindustrialisation? Were we asked to cede our national sovereignty to anonymous, unelected, unaccountable globalist elites?

Ironically, the Marxist playbook of the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin was driven by the necessity for rapid industrialisation at all costs. Now under Neo-Marxism, the previously leading economic power houses of Europe and Australia have been set on deindustrialisation for decades.

There is one major outlier to this trend, the United States of America: the only developed nation very publicly seeking to reindustrialise to provide jobs and security for its own people.

Rapid industrialisation was the engine of Stalin’s Marxism, with its control of capital, while distributing the bare minimum of food and consumer goods to the proletariat. Modern Neo-Marxism controls energy supply and industrial production globally, by managing supply and demand.

It has transforms men and women into consumer units, owning nothing and without the capacity for entrepreneurial ambition and independence of mind. There is no longer room for the sovereignty of nations, or self-determination for the individual. Anyone, seeking to give power, responsibility and vision back to the people has become ‘an enemy of the people.’

7. Totalitarianism and the Socialist Left

Welcome to 2030: I Own Nothing, Have No Privacy, and Life Has Never Been Better. This is the title of Ida Auken’s 2016 essay, a Danish politician with the Social Democrats.[17] Her work was famously quoted by Charles Schwab, chairman of the World Economic Forum, with Thierry Malleret, in their publication, COVID-19: The Great Reset, with their catchcry, ‘You will own nothing, and be happy.’[18]  

Ida Auken’s core vision for 2030 envisions a post-ownership society where individuals access goods and services on demand rather than possessing them outright. ‘I don’t own anything. I don’t own a car. I don’t own a house. I don’t own any appliances or any clothes,’ emphasizing a shift to a service-based economy where ‘everything you considered a product, has become a service.’

Socially, Ida describes a divided yet harmonious world: urban dwellers embrace the interconnected, shared model for its convenience and sustainability, while a minority opts for rural, self-sufficient communities rejecting the system. Unemployment from automation is reframed as leisure, with universal access to education and experiences fostering fulfillment over material accumulation.

Sounds utopian, even idyllic! The rate-race is over, and most of us live harmoniously together in apartment blocks within 15 minutes of urban hubs,[19] but at what cost? We no longer live in a democracy, with freedom of speech or freedom of movement. Rather, we live under a globalist totalitarian state, Neo-Marxism.

Could Ida’s vision for 2023 come to pass in just four years? Despite being written a decade ago, the foundations for her dream have already been laid. In fact, the tower blocks already reach for the sky.

The transformation required to bring this vision to pass, is that national capitalism, the entrepreneurial spirit, and individual responsibility would be stripped away by socialism (communism), entertainment, and the ‘common good’ for the proletariat. While the highlife and capitalism will still flourish for the ruling elite with more riches than they could ever have imagined, while only supplying the bare necessities of life for the proletariat.

‘Owning nothing, having no privacy, and life never having been better,’ can only come to fruition on the back of state ownership of everything and a massive bureaucracy. Again, echoes of Stalin’s Soviet Union, where ‘the walls had ears,’ and the people dare not express any personal feelings for fear of the knock on the door at midnight, heralding their final journey to the Gulag.

Would Stalin’s people have said, ‘Life has never been better!’ The ruling class most certainly did, but the proletariat never, they had become slaves. Did they have any privacy? No. How ironic in our day of usernames, passwords, passkeys and encryption, most of us know that we have been forced to sign away our privacy to the algorithms feeding Artificial Intelligence that supplies our every whim.

Marx Communist Manifesto (1848), in collaboration with Engles, envisioned no private property or inherited wealth, a steeply graduated income tax and centralised control of banking, communication, transport, and free public education. A remarkable parallel with most Western nations today. Welcome to Global Neo Marxism![20]

Where do you sit with all this?

Perhaps society will fall into three groups, as it did in Nazi Germany during WWII. Most people believed they were being good Christians in their support of Hitler, as the Bible urged believers to submit to authority (Hebrews 13:17).

They were sincere but they had been blinded by the propaganda. Some Christians knew the Holocaust was wrong; however, their only response was to sing louder in their churches on Sundays when they heard the screams from the trains passing by, carrying their cargo of Jews headed for the extermination camps.[21] Out of sight, out of mind.

Then there were a few courageous souls who dared to stand up against Hitler’s grotesque policies; notably Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the young German pastor who was executed by the Nazis in 1945 for his part in the ‘officers’ plot’ to assassinate Adolf. ^[22]

This article has tried to show that many of the elements of our modern Western society are the foundations for the establishment of Global Neo-Marxism, a reincarnation of Marxism no longer contained within national borders but encompassing all of us wherever we live.

The deindustrialisation of the West, an essential element of Global Neo-Marxist ideology, was designed to force reliance on the rising economies of Asia, made possible by our borderless planet. Capitalism isn’t being abolished, it is still the ideology’s economic powerhouse, despite Marx’s and Engles‘ criticisms. Stalin’s Soviet experiment was powered by capitalism despite being dressed up in communism’s uniform.

Today, more people are seeing the parallels between Marxism and Neo-Marxism. Fewer are being deceived by the Neo-Marxist propaganda. More people are waking up to the present reality;[23] more are raising the alarm; more are crafting new policies to restore the security and sovereignty of their own nations; and perhaps more will echo Winston Churchill’s call, quoting President Abraham Lincoln from his Gettysburg Address, ‘Government of the people, by the people, for the people;’ before it is too late.
