Marxism's Satanic Roots

Did Karl Marx's ideas have deeper spiritual roots than most history books admit? In this episode, I examine the controversial claims made by Richard Wurmbrand in his book Karl Marx and the Satanic Roots of Communism. Drawing on Marx's early Christian upbringing, his later poems and writings, and the relentless persecution of Christianity under Communist regimes, I explore whether hostility towards God was merely incidental to Marxism—or one of its defining features. This isn't a discussion about conspiracy theories. It's an examination of a challenging historical argument put forward by a man who spent fourteen years imprisoned by a Communist regime for his Christian faith.
