In the spring of 1917, Sarton Nicholas II, the Emperor of Russia,

was forced to abdicate his crown and was taken captive by Marxist revolutionaries.

In October of that same year, Vladimir Lenin's Bolshevik party led a coup, which toppled the

Russian provisional government and installed a new Marxist government in its place.

The following spring, Sir Nicholas and his family would be executed in the basement of a house

in the Ural Mountains before their bodies were taken into a nearby forest

and mutilated with grenades and acid to prevent identification before being buried in unmarked

graves, thus ending the line of Russian emperors.

The Bolshevik revolution in Russia shook the world and set up what would become the dystopian

communist Soviet Union, later to become America's chief enemy in the Cold War during the second half of the 20th century.

During the same time period of the early 1920s, America ramped up one of its own ideological revolutions with the same origins, what we know today as the first wave of feminism.

This may seem like an odd comparison, but when you look a little closer, the similarities

are striking. Both ideologies are built on an egalitarian foundation that seeks to flatten

the particular hierarchies that God is designed into the world. The Marxist is primarily

concerned with inequality and distinction in the category of financial wealth.

The feminist is primarily concerned with removing inequality and distinction in the category of sex and gender.

Both seek to subvert God's created order by calling sin righteousness and righteousness sin.

God's word demands that if anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat.
