That is your belief, @Fantasy_Chaser. I am a deist, like Thomas Jefferson.
God created the universe with many good elements. He also left us with free will, and the forces of evil are now taking charge. I thought that moves toward the spread of democracy and freedom would win out. The powers of kings and emperors were reduced by the rise of representative government. The kings were ultimately replaced by elected heads of state. Economic freedom, tempered by social programs, brought prosperity to more people than ever before. Those were the impressions I gained from my studies of history.
Now we see the dark forces taking hold. Communist China will soon be the world’s most powerful nation. Iran and North Korea will blackmail the world with their nuclear weapons. Marxism is on the rise. Democracy has been perverted by voter fraud. A relatively small group of people will have all of the political power. Instead moving forward, we are moving backward back to the times of dictators and oligarchies.
Unfortunately, Marxism, which appeared to be dying with the fall of the old Soviet Union, has come back with a vengeance. It now threatens to swallow the world which will result in a long period of repression, poverty and misery.
We have the education system to thank for that. The schools have created three generations of Marxists who have not taken a critical view of the system and what it creates.
In normal times, elections would fix the excesses, but that might not be possible this time. The Democrats have created a dependent class that will always support them. They will use voter fraud to change the results of close elections. They put the economy in chains with taxes and regulation which will kill all innovation that is outside of that sponsored by the state. If you want to see what this country will look like in a decade, look no further than Venezuela. Its leaders are showing us our future.
