There’s a dangerous lie at the heart of Marxist ideology, and it’s one we’ve been sold for over a century: that your worth as a human being is tied to your function in the collective — your labor, your utility, your productivity. In Marxist thought, you are not a soul. You are a gear. A means to an end. Your value exists only insofar as you serve the machine.
But if that lie ever fully collapses — if enough people remember that they are endowed by their Creator with unalienable rights and inherent value — then the entire scaffolding of socialism begins to fall. Because the moment you affirm that you matter, not because of your work, your class, or your identity group, but because you are made in the image of God — the revolution is over before it begins.
This is why socialism is so terrified of the individual.
God-Given Value Is Not Assigned by the State
Our Founders understood this. They didn’t build a nation where the government grants you permission to be free. They declared that our rights come from God — which means no politician, bureaucrat, or economic planner can take them away.
But socialism — and its milder, more deceptive cousin, social democracy — depends on a different premise entirely. It demands that rights and value be granted by society. That your existence must be justified by your role in the “public good.” That your value comes from the outside in — not the inside out.
This idea is not just wrong. It is evil. It is bondage. And it’s alive and well in every modern policy that tells us our dignity can be measured in wages and taxes.
Dr. Robert Malone hit this nail on the head in his article Wage and Tax Slavery as Emancipation, where he exposes the Marxist bait-and-switch: we’re told that sending everyone — including women and children — into the workforce is “liberating.” But the end result is economic dependence on the very state that demanded our productivity in the first place. This isn’t freedom. It’s sophisticated servitude.
Women Were Not “Liberated” — They Were Enlisted
When American households were strong, when a single income could raise a family, we did not believe a woman needed to “earn” her value. She had it. Her role as a mother, wife, teacher, and community builder was respected, not resented. She shaped the future — not in a cubicle, but in the hearts of children, the warmth of homes, the bonds of civil society.
But Marxism couldn’t tolerate that. Why? Because in the Marxist view, unless you are a producer in the industrial sense — unless you are taxable, interchangeable, and replaceable — you are a burden.
And so the movement told women: you’re nothing unless you work outside the home. It told men: your wife is wasting her potential. It told children: you belong to the state now, and we’ll raise you in daycare and government schools.
This was not liberation. This was conscription.
When Value Is Inherent, Control Becomes Impossible
If you cannot manipulate people’s value, you cannot control them. That’s the real reason socialism fears individual worth. When people believe they have intrinsic, God-given dignity, they no longer look to the state to validate their existence. They no longer fear being fired, canceled, or excommunicated from the economy of man — because they are already secure in the economy of God.
And make no mistake: that’s a threat to those who dream of central planning. Because the man who knows who he is cannot be remade. The woman who knows her purpose cannot be bought.
The Americanist Answer: The Sovereign Soul
Americanism is built not on utility, but on sovereignty. Not just national sovereignty — but soul-level sovereignty. We are a nation of self-governing people because we are a people who believe in the self as a sacred creation, not a social product.
We don’t derive our worth from wages. We don’t find our meaning in Marx’s factories or in the state’s spreadsheet. We are not drones. We are not resources. We are not “human capital.”
We are citizens. We are families. We are individuals, answerable to God, not the collective.
Until we recover this truth — until we rip this Marxist rot from our schools, our policies, and our pulpits — we will remain easy prey for the next ideological regime that wants to convince us that freedom is slavery, and that our worth must be earned by obedience.
But when we reclaim it, we will stand once more — not as economic units, but as sovereign souls.
