Why Marxists Hate Judaism and Christianity but Love Islam

Posted By Geoffrey Clarfield

Their hate for Judaism and Christianity is a natural by-product of their belief frameworks, while their love for Islam is born of convenience and practicality

“Hate” is widely discussed as a big problem today. People are constantly condemning hate, and also declaring the imperative of ending/stopping hate. In many jurisdictions, people are busy drafting new laws to control and restrict public expressions of hate. People working in media, in education, and in government tend to address hate as if it is an emotion predominantly found at inappropriate levels in right wing people, but clearly, hate is actually a universal emotion, and leftists are also prone to feeling hate.

Judging from the left’s raging antisemitism and fondness for Hamas, their widespread celebration of Charlie Kirk’s murder, their carelessness about slaughtered Christians in Africa and church-burnings across the West, leftists today have strong negative feelings about observant Christians and Jews that might aptly be described as hate. But today’s leftists feel no such animosity toward practicing Muslims, as a whole, despite the fact that religion in general is condemned and belittled by Marxists. The raw truth is that today’s social justice revolution, which is essentially Marxist/neoMarxist, is anti-Christian, anti-Jewish, but pro-Islamic. So, what gives?

Marxist revolutionaries have always viewed adherents of Judaism and Christianity as existential enemies: not merely as political opponents that they must conquer at the ballot box, but as obstacles that must be removed. This is because both faiths anchor the human person in loyalties that cannot be repurposed for the revolution and the state.

For communists, this is unforgivable. Marxism begins with a rejection of the sacred. Communism is built on an axiom: there is no God, no eternal moral law, no transcendent order… only matter, power, and the dialectic. If the universe has no creator, then the party may rewrite the script at will. But Judaism and Christianity insist the script is already written—and binding.

The Ten Commandments alone shatter the Marxist worldview. They declare limits not supported by Marxists. They declare objective good and evil, and a truth higher than the state.

Leftists are not “misusing” Marxism when they hate on Jews and Christians, family and tradition. This resentment and animosity is Marxism.

Communism seeks to abolish family; Judaism and Christianity revolve around family. Marx and Engels were explicit: the family must be weakened, redefined, collectivized, or dissolved. The revolutionary state cannot fully shape a child if parents get in the way.

Judaism is centred on lineage, inheritance, generational blessing. Christianity is heavily about marriage, familial duty. A spiritual/divine ideal of parenthood is reflected on to everyday family relations in Judaism and Christianity. So, every communist regime targets parents and fosters division between generations.

Both faiths insist on moral limits that communism insists must be removed. Judaism and Christianity say: “You may not do evil so that good may come.” Communism says: “You must do whatever the revolution requires.” The two positions are irreconcilable.

This is also why dissident priests, pastors, and rabbis under communism were treated as mortal threats: at some point, true believers with conscience are sure to defy the party and condemn its excesses and transgressions. Both traditions reveal the revolutionary lie, and who doesn’t hate to be exposed as a liar?

This is the root of communist hostility: Judaism and Christianity expose the false religion of the revolution. Humans cannot be rewired by force. Socialist utopia is a dangerous lie. Evil comes not from class differences, but from the brokenness and blindness that is inherent to the human condition.

What communists hate perhaps the most is allegiance to something higher. Revolutionary ideology demands totalizing loyalty. But Jews and Christians say there is a higher King, a higher law, a higher allegiance. This is why both faiths were targeted, infiltrated, subverted, and demonized throughout the 20th century, and continue to be targeted.

And now, here’s Why Communists Love Islam: If communists hate Judaism and Christianity for their limits, their memory, their family values, and their God, then why does the modern left treat Islam with almost reverential deference, when Islam arguably contains all of that? The answer isn’t theological, but strategic.

Marxist movements love Islam because the Islamic faith has a political form that serves the revolutionary project in ways Judaism and Christianity never will. Islam provides the left with a revolutionary ally. Where Judaism and Christianity limit the state, Islam historically merges religion and state power. Marxists recognize a fellow totalizing system, even if the doctrines and end goals differ.

Islamism destabilizes Western nations—and revolutionaries need chaos. Marxism requires crisis, fragmentation, polarization, and the breakdown of social cohesion. The more fractured a society becomes, the easier it is to coerce, buy, or overpower.

Large-scale immigration from culturally incompatible, often tribal, deeply religious societies produces conflict, identity fragmentation, and perpetual grievance narratives. Revolutionaries feed on this kind of conflict.

Islam provides a protected grievance class in Western contexts, and modern Marxism trades in identity conflict rather than class conflict. Leftists today use “oppressed” groups to justify their moral authority. Islam functions perfectly as a sacralized victim class, deemed righteous and untouchable. Criticizing Islam, even its extremism, has recently been reframed as racism, bigotry, “Islamophobia,” and colonial oppression. An alliance with Islamists gives the left a shield: they deploy Islamist aggression and reactionary politics while labeling their critics as hateful.

Islam weakens Christianity—the left’s biggest cultural obstacle. Western civilization’s moral architecture is Judeo-Christian: dignity, conscience, charity, law, equality, restraint, self-reliance, forgiveness, redemption. For Marxists to overthrow western civilization, its moral order must be undermined. Islamist pressure does exactly that:

Islamic extremists share many of the same hatreds as communists. Jihadis despise the same things Marxist leftists despise: Judeo-Christian moral systems, Western heritage, free expression, individualism, Israel, the West’s economic success and cultural confidence.

Different motivations, same targets. The enemy of my enemy is my useful partner.

Most importantly for communists, Islam never challenges the left’s core belief that society should be controlled. Christianity says no to tyranny. Judaism says no to tyranny. Islamism says, “We have our own preferred form of social control.” And the left respects that. They understand each other, and neither recognizes universal rights to freedom of conscience and expression.

Communists don’t actually “love” Islam. They love how Islamism destabilizes Western civilization while providing a protected, untouchable, politically powerful ally in the revolutionary project. They love the pressure Islam is applying to Christianity. They love the chaos Islam generates and the immunity it enjoys. They love the silencing of Western conservatives that Islam facilitates. They love that Islam is helping to destroy the world Judaism and Christianity built.

There is another group of people worth mentioning that loves this destruction of Judeo-Christian civilization, too, but who can not be classified as either Marxists or Islamists, although they sponsor both. At very high levels of wealth and power, “world controller wannabes” are using Marxism and Islamism to advance one world government. Globalists love the idea that when the smoke clears, populaces will be too frightened, fragmented, and demoralized to resist a technocratic regime promising to restore order and functionality to western civilization. We now watch Marxists and Islamists joining forces in the streets, energized to attack shared enemies and advance their overlapping agendas, but in truth, both these factions are useful idiots doing the dirty work of the Fabian elite, the most powerful of whom you will never see at the protests.
