A Democratic plan to create hell on earth.

The effects of communism or Marxism are not confined to the spiritual realm — far from it.

While the spiritual consequences are the most devastating, because they are everlasting, there are material world effects as well. Take, for example, urban America, the once great cities dotting the American continent: Nothing in history had ever been seen like this before, sprawling prosperous cities bolstering a giant economic engine that was the envy of the world.

But today, owing to a century-long plan hatched even as that prosperity was dominant, those same cities are in ruins, not even rising to shadows of their former glory. Perhaps the leading example of that is right here in Detroit, which was so high and fell so fast. The question is, "Why?"

America's urban rot has been a valuable tool for the Marxist Democrats. While it is that their policies have kept this the status quo for 60 years, they claim to champion the "little guy" — the oppressed, minorities, the impoverished.

But they are the very ones responsible for the oppression, the impoverishment — because they want it that way. It helps keep them in power. They are taking a page right out of Karl Marx's playbook.

For three days, The Michael Voris Show toured around Detroit, interviewed residents, peeled back the propaganda to show you the present-world effects of Democrats and their Marxism. And while Detroit is the focus because it's our own backyard, this sad story, this soul-crushing reality, is present in big cities all over America thanks to the communist agenda.

Ejecting God from daily life obviously has hellish consequences in the next world, but that hell begins right here in this world.

How to destroy America.

Looking at the collapse of the culture as well as the Church, many people are left scratching their heads — especially those of us who grew up in a very different America.

But just as it's intellectually off base to blame the crisis in the Church on Pope Francis, it's just as off base to blame the collapse of the nation on just one or a few influencers.

The collapse of the Faith stretches back decades — many more decades than most people stop to consider.

For example, Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven were two radical professors of sociology at Columbia University back in the 1960s. The aim of the husband–wife duo was to manufacture a crisis by overwhelming the welfare system with a flood of new applicants.

They correctly reasoned that this would force the government to adopt various policies that were radical leftist at their core, disguised as wanting to "help the poor."

Always beware of those who want to "help the poor," especially when they live in luxury. What we are witnessing in America today is their plan coming to fruition — actually, more than coming to fruition, nearing its completion.

The heart of the Cloward–Piven plan is this: violent revolution for the sake of socialism is not needed when, instead, you can simply so burden the welfare system that it collapses under its own weight.
