A de facto marriage: Islam & Marxism

By Olivia Pierson

The undying love-affair between Islam and Marxism, particularly admired by the wanton wokerati, represents a profound moral, and therefore civilisational, challenge to human flourishing in our time.

Both display a damn creepy organising principle steeped in the rejection of Western liberty, Judeo-Christian understandings of human nature, and the fundamental dignity of the person.

This unholy marriage shows itself with gruesome clarity in violence and mutilation to the human body.

The atrocities of October 7th, 2023, perpetrated by Gazans enthral to Hamas and its allies, featured systematic sexual violence - rape, gang rape, genital mutilation including the severing of breasts and even necrophilia. These acts of sadistic barbarism are sickening to read or even know about, but this is their level of crazed savagery, making the child-sacrificing Amalekites of old sound warm and cuddly.

A leading feminist philosopher, queer theorist and critical theorist Judith Butler stated on a panel in Paris, March 2024:

“We can have different views about armed resistance, but I think it is more honest and historically correct to say that the uprising of October 7 was an act of armed resistance. It is not a terrorist attack and it’s not an antisemitic attack.”

Butler considers Hamas and Hezbollah to be a part of the global left social movements, reclassifying their eye-watering barbarism as “armed resistance” against the violence of the Israeli state apparatus; thus she subordinates well-documented inhumanity to an ideological narrative.  What a twisted devil.

Similarly, the woke commitment to gender theory, also a pet topic of the remarkably asexual-looking Butler, which as we know institutionalised surgical and chemical mutilations upon our young: puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, mastectomies and attempts at genital reconstruction. As medical authorities such as the Cass Review finally scrutinised, showing irreversible harms that ought to have been self evident: sterility, sexual dysfunction and enormous regret, this freakish trend represents postmodern bodily desecration writ large. Like the Islamic preoccupation with genital cutting and sexual sadism, they subordinate biologically inhumane practices to an ideological narrative. If Judith Butler counts today as a ‘philosopher,’ then the Marquis de Sade was a Puritan.

By way of contrast to this ghastly spectre of Islamo-marxism stands Trump. Morally intact and diplomatically gifted - he has shown himself as the “stable genius” he always claimed to be. From a position of extraordinary strength, he directly engages with Chi-com leadership while drawing enormous respect, and at the very same time applies strategic pressure on the Iranian regime, a position radically grounded in national interest rather than the ideological witch’s brew of his vapid predecessors.

History exclaims a clear warning: the ’79 Iranian Revolution saw the Islamists swiftly eliminate their Marxist allies after consolidating power; the secularism of Marxists was a natural threat to theocratic rule. It remains unfathomable that over-educated kooks like Butler don’t absorb these facts after spending their lives in American universities infecting the minds of the young.

The Red-Green alliance assaults the foundational principles of human dignity, reason and bodily integrity. Those committed to the preservation of our civilisation must respond with intellectual clarity and moral resolve, defending the sanctity of the individual against all ideologies that treat the body as raw material for dystopian ends.
