I learned about today’s far left revolution close up, watching it develop in real time as it subsumed my profession, and all our institutions.
As a Catholic high school teacher in Toronto in the early 2000s, I noticed neoMarxist belief frameworks taking over academia, and then school systems generally. I saw firsthand that multiple nodes of communist praxis (including race Marxism, Antifa, radical LGBTQIA+ activism) were activating youth — often vulnerable and unstable youth — to become left wing footsoldiers.
I talked about this with those in my circle who would listen, which were very few. I wrote about it on my FB page, which became a little hub of anti-communist activity as I found many interesting people online with similar knowledge and shared concerns. I posted serious commentary, as well as satire and memes, connecting threads from various intersecting streams of neoMarxism to bring into focus the bigger picture of this revolutionary moment.
In 2020, during a (supposedly confidential) union zoom meeting, I spoke against race Marxism, far left extremism, and institutional capture. Despite confidentiality protocol, several colleagues group-reported me to admin. I was immediately suspended, and investigated. Despite zero complaints on record from students/parents or about my classroom comportment, Toronto Catholic School Board and Ontario College of Teachers (our professional regulatory body) used my pseudonymous anti-woke Facebook page to end my career. The general consensus of management was that colleagues shouldn’t have to share a school building with such a wicked extremist. The legal fallout continues, but that’s a story for another day.
Mainstream consciousness has lately begun to admit certain truths that I started banging on about in the mid 2010s. The kids are not all right. They are being indoctrinated by left wing authoritarians, and many are embracing political violence as a result. Professionals are being muzzled by ideologically captured institutions. Communist revolution, sexual subversion, and religious desecration have converged in an outright civilizational attack.
This “woke” revolution is funded and facilitated in western nations by a globalist elite, and it is sold to apathetic, maleducated, entertainment-saturated masses as “inclusion” and “kindness” and even “love”. It’s all very Brave New World — I recognized this global revolutionary moment early on partly because I taught that Huxley novel for almost 20 years.
In the late 2010s, I fervently pumped out content that was strongly political, not personal or harrassing of individuals. This made no difference to the outcome in my case… leftists very cleverly use identity groups as shields, so when a counter-revolutionary attack is made on a strand of neoMarxist revolutionary activism, leftists cry hate and discrimination. Disrespect BLM? You are CLEARLY a racist! They similarly cry: Islamophobe! Transphobe! Bigot! Capitalist Pig! HATER! This is one of their long game strategies that has worked really, really well in combination with their takeover of education and media.
Even centrist and moderate right wing streams of our establishment have sided with the neoMarxist revolutionaries and crushed dissent againt far left extremism for almost a decade now. Across the political spectrum, people have found adopting neoMarxist frameworks to be useful for virtue signaling and power plays. Average people tend to elevate job security and social status above truthfulness and even goodness. Cancel culture has made pushback rare, particularly in “nice” Canada, where people tend to recoil from conflict and discomfort.
Establishment leaders now even cuddle up with extremists who do not hide their violently subversive orientation. When the ENTIRE establishment took a knee for for the (self-identified) queer, Marxist, violently revolutionary group BLM during the 2020 riots, the subjugation of the professional classes was complete. We stopped being allowed to object to our institutions becoming vehicles for communist revolution. We were called racists and far right extremists and conspiracy theorists for even thinking bad thoughts about BLM and the woke communist revolution, and could be punished for talking to friends about it in group chats. We all became ideological captives of neoMarxist revolutionaries.
The DEI industry exploded, and although it is losing steam in the USA, it still functions as a modern Red Guard policing Canadian discourse and behaviour. If we’re being honest, we will admit that even most conservative politicans here were cowed. The entire establishment worked together to erect a new politburo and stasi throughout Canada and the USA, and far beyond.
Republicans are dismantling the neoMarxist structures that have been erected in America, and this is of course being disingenuously characterized by leftists as proof that Trump is fascist and authoritarian. BLM has largely imploded with corruption and infighting, but Antifa appears to have grown even stronger, expecially its queer contingent, and their membership is agitating heavily as they see the Trump administration tearing down what they built.
Antifa is not just a gang of idealistic rabble-rousers in black hoodies rebelling against authority. It is the heir of a century-long Marxist project seeking massive, sweeping revolution, and advancing their goals via inversions: turning truth into lies, sin into virtue, desecration into liberation. From the beginning, Antifascist communists were passionately committed to revolution in all areas of human life and society.
It is not by coincidence that antifa and the LGBTQIA+ are entwined. Antifa have always been committed to sexual revolution — crossing sexual boundaries, normalizing deviance, dissolving the family.
Even in earliest iterations, the antifasacists were dangerously radical in sexual ideology and policy: the historical record shows they handed children to paraphilic predators in the name of antifascist sexual liberation as early as postwar Germany. That anti-family, fetishistic spirit runs straight through antifascist history and is on full display in today’s TQ+ movement. TQ+ is conjoined with Antifa (Trantifa, if you will) to actively promote hypersexualization, the destabilizing of sex identity and family, and the mainstreaming of disorder and perversion.
Marx and Engels attacked the family as a “bourgeois prison.” Later Marxists carried this out through radical experiments in sex and pedagogy, all under the banner of liberation. Today’s gender and queer theorists are majority Marxists.
Marxists deal in inversions, so indoctrination presented as education, perversion rebranded as liberation, abuse disguised as compassion, self-mutilation celebrated as authentic selfhood. Today, Antifa-aligned “Queer Resistance” brigades advance sexual inversions and corruptions that are just as damaging as antifascists of bygone eras: in postwar Germany, the antifascist Kentler experiment assigned orphan boys to be raised by wealthy pedophiles. Today, an uncomfortable number of LGBTQIA+ activists have been caught adopting babies and toddlers to abuse, raping their own children, or sexually assualting minors. As a result of our establishment embracing the far left revolutionary zeitgeist and sacralizing “marginalized” identities, safeguarding has been sacrificed on the altar of LGBTQIA+ identitarianism.
Crossing sexual boundaries goes hand in hand with rejecting religious morality. Antifa is all about religious subversion—mocking God, burning churches, raising fists against Heaven, calling the individual his/her/zir own god. This rebellion against Christianity is openly displayed in Antifa marches, Pride parades, pop-culture spectacles encouraging revelry in Satanic imagery, and broader waves of subtler anti-Christianism that sneers at faith while sanctifying blasphemy.
At the spiritual core of the Red Thread, we find Satanic rebellion against God. Marx’s own poetry invoked Hell and renounced Heaven: “My soul, once true to God, is chosen for Hell.”
From there, the pattern is consistent:
Weimar radical circles embraced occult rituals alongside Marxist politics.
Communist uprisings in Spain and Germany burned churches and desecrated altars in the name of freedom.
Modern Antifa marches feature pentagrams, goat-head masks, and inverted crosses, and their membership have participated in and celebrated the wave of church arsons in recent years
Antifa does not engage in reasonable critiques of religious excesses or authoritarianism. Debate and discourse are not their thing. They prefer action and deliberate inversion: sacred made profane, desecration celebrated as liberation, individual desire made God.
Not every Antifa group is outright Satanic in orientation, but every Antifa group is more or less communist. Antifa’s roots in the Communist Party of 1930s Germany are indisputable, and although Antifa has never represented all the communist establishment, they are always allied with other communists, always advancing a shared agenda. The communist long game has been incredibly effective, and Antifa have been there through the decades, providing boots on the ground for revolutionary cause. Their waxing and waning influence can be traced through the past century, and is now seen everywhere.
We are inundated with perverse rhetoric spewing forth from leftist academics, many who show up at Antifa protests. Our culture is now shot through with subversive occult aesthetics. A new DEI industry administered by neoMarxists coddles Antifa extremists. Even capitalist corporations now pander to far left extremists, paying lip service to equality, liberty, and unity while applying neoMarxist frameworks that subvert those very ideals, sanctifying discrimination, subjugation, and division.
A heavy irony exists in “antifascist” ideology capturing government institutions, multinational corporations and NGOS and making them tools for communist subversion while accusing even “small government” conservatives of fascism.
This irony is not lost on those of us who are still capable of independent thought, but masses have fallen prey to indoctrination and can’t see the inverted reality they inhabit. I pray all decent people will soon come into the light and see this clearly. The silver lining of several horrific recent events is that these horrors have exposed the devastating results of far left subversion in our society.
The most important realization that we can collectively make at this time is that the Red Thread runs through all our modern socio-political chaos: political, sexual, and religious inversion woven together, sold as liberation, and enforced by lies.
Antifa is not just a street gang. Yes, the groups are loosely connected and display a variety of ideological bents, but in essence, Antifa today is the living descendant of communist revolutionary pioneers. And Antifa members over the many decades since the group’s inception have never stopped weaving their Red Thread of inversion into the social fabric: political, sexual, and religious subversion is their hallmark.
From Marx’s blasphemous poetry, to Berlin’s sexual experiments, to rainbow sickles and inverted crosses at Pride parades, to satanic pop-culture rituals at the Grammys and Astroworld, the themes are constant: smash tradition, dissolve the family, erase morality, and call it liberation.
Cultural decay is a political weapon. The leftists blame capitalism for the decay, of course, but communists and their globalist sponsors both DESIRE and CAUSE the degradation and corruption as a function of advancing revolution and global socialism.
We need to understand that far left revolution is now quite far advanced and successful. They captured institutions in many western nations. Their inversions have weakened nations and economies and they have condolidated power to themselves.
Antifa and other communists have lately been invigorated by the pan-Islamist war against Israel, filling western streets with angry, often destructive protests and vile antisemitism. Communists have always formed Red–Green alliances with Islamists, because they share overlapping agendas to destroy western/Christian hegemony.
Street violence and general crime increases all around us as far left extremist domination continues. The Trump admin is ramping up their counter-revolutionary war efforts, but leftist governments like Canada’s, along with corporations, NGOs, and even many churches, still sanctify this left wing revolution in the name of “progress”.
I was canceled for warning that this hatred and violence was coming. The evidence they used against me comprises criticism of the following three pillars of modern neoMarxism:
CRT/BLM/DEI
Gender ideology and sex change medicalization
The Red-Green Alliance (allying with Islamists toward decolonization)
I was an early noticer that these constituted communist war strategy and a serious threat to our civilization.
For elevating the family, I was called a bigot.
For defending Christianity and freedom of conscience, I was called dangerous.
For exposing the Red–Green Alliance, I was called a conspiracy theorist.
For saying that corrupting children is abuse and treachery, I was called hateful.
For naming this movement and this era one of communist revolution, I was called a Nazi and a fascist.
That’s how they easily sweep counter-revolutionaries aside in oh-so-nice Canada, because we lack robust protections for speech. Professionals are effectively muzzled by leftist bureacrats.
Here is the ultimate inversion: those who sound the alarm against civilizational collapse are branded as the threat, while those who dismantle civilization are celebrated as saviors.
Remember the true history and violent revolutionary orientation of Antifa when you see people recoiling from moves toward criminalizing them (by USA and Netherlands governments, for example).
Far left extremists are the villains in an epic spiritual tragedy.
But we have hope and are inspired by our witness that in trying to destroy Christianity and western exceptionalism, they have inadvertently sparked a huge blaze that isn’t another church fire but a massive spiritual and cultural revival.
The SPIRIT is very active right now!
I also take heart remembering that God wins, now and forever. And we are taught to pray for the souls of our enemies, and spread the Word to lead the lost toward the light.
Thanks for reading! I will leave you with a bit of scripture that I believe all Christians should use like a mantra right now as we ponder what to do about all the indoctrinated communists around us:
“Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do.”

Thank you for sharing my writing!
Keep speaking out against race Marxism, far left (and right - where it exists) extremism, and institutional capture. Melanie Bennett has done some great work on the infiltration of Marxist thought into the Ontario school system.
We need to depoliticize the school boards and the school system.
