On a Justification for Armed revolution. On a Theology of Liberation. On the Revolutionary Jesus. An Anarchist perspective taken from the david icke forum
A Christian is allegedly a 'Christ-like' person who looks to the Jesus of history as a mentor and who claims to believe in his teachings as ‘the word of God.’
Consider that the historical Jesus appears to have been a person who fits the following description.
Tenets of the Historical Jesus.
1: Anti-Monetarism / Anti-Capitalism
He did not believe in any form of monetarism (do not carry money.... do not receive money, only food); he was a homeless (he had nowhere to lay his head), unemployed ( he called upon those with him to give up their professions), anti-propertyist who propagated not monetarism but proto-Communism (Fr. Communare: to share. Communism: to share all property in common)
And the question needs to raised as to how a person who carries no money could pay taxes; one of the alleged reasons for his arrest.
Do not worship mammon (Aramaic: Material possessions / clothing / money). Consider Solomon in all his glory?
2: No Swearing of Oaths.
..and of course without the swearing of oaths and contracts, Capitalism would cease to exist, and ‘I pledge allegiance to the flag…’ would be a violation of the words and edicts of Jesus, as would American Presidents swearing on stacks of Bibles, and Christians swearing oaths in courts or military oaths to fight the enemies of Capitalism.
3: He cried out against the rich and the religious hypocrites.
Woe to you brood of vipers… hypocrites…serpents.. in the name of the prophets you would have stoned the prophets, etc., etc.
Today it is the Christian state terrorists who have a long history of torturing and murdering Communists, particularly in the post war history of Latin America with their Palace revolutions and miltary coups.
4: He did not sell salvation for Capitalist coin.
He did not ask for tithes or offerings; he fed the poor and freely cared for the sick.
5: He told the rich to devote their wealth to the poor.
6: No Priesthood.
He was clearly ‘against' the priesthood of his age, and indeed against any form of priesthood.
7: Anti-Capitalist Martyrdom and Rebellion
This is the true meaning of 'take up your cross;' this was a common punishment for anti-Roman terrorists.
He was tortured and executed for his rebellion against the religious establishment, at their request, and allegedly as a political criminal; he did not support the corrupt government and the Solomonic priesthood (the Sadducees).
8: Non-Idolatry
He was not an idolater, he never referred to himself as the Creator; he may have invoked the Messianic prophecies but he clearly was not so arrogant as to consider himself to be the Creator; indeed he cried out to the Creator at times and referred constantly to the Creator in the Third person. Christians today worship him as an object of idolatry and propagate the Captialist anti-thesis of his teachings.
9: No Public Praying. No Praying in Temples.
He told his followers, 'Do not pray in public in the streets and the Temples.'
In other words, a true Christ-like person would never pray in public or in a church, nor would they construct any form of Temple.
10: The revolutionary militant (terrorist) Jesus: Armed Revolution.
Consider that at one point he asks his followers to sell their robes if they have to and buy swords. There are two interpretations of the answer, one being 'we have two swords,' and another being 'we have two swords each.' The Judean siccari (Swordsmen or 'terrorists’ to the Romans) commonly carried two swords, as opposed to the sword and shield of the Romans.
'Cohort' (L. a tenth of a Legion).
It clearly states that a cohort (L. a 10th of a legion) of Romans arrested Jesus. A legion was a minimum of 5000 men plus cavalry. Thus a minimum of 500 armed soldiers (plus the Temple guard, who were also armed) arrested Jesus in Gethsemane where an armed fight broke out; outnumbered his followers fled. This begs the question of why 500 armed soldiers would attempt to arrest a group of unarmed pacifists. It simply does not make sense.
Now compare this man to modern day Christians in general. Are they really Christ-like? Do they really believe in all of the above?
Indeed today it is only the Communists who represent his legacy; the Christian Capitalists represent all that he despised.
Two types of Christians; the hypnotists of the 'Jesus Business' and the hypnotised innocents.
I do not believe that the hypnotists of the Jesus business who claim to be 'experts' on the sayings of Jesus can possibly justify their business by the teachings of Jesus. I consider them to be universally corrupt and pied pipers; those who have vested interests in 'Capital' and earn a living from the Jesus business cannot be expected to agree with the tenets above. If they are offended; so too it must be stated that they ‘give offence’ to the students of the historical Jesus and to all liberation theologians and Christian Anarchists.
Consider also that the two major state terrorist countries in the world have Christian heads of state (Obama and Elizabeth Windsor) and that they are totally committed to militant world Capitalist revolution, the holocaust of all militant enemies and the economic enslavement of humanity.
The hypnotised innocents; the proletariat.
Clearly many Christians are simply hypnotised, and it is they who need to be woken up; that simply requires education.
