Central Economic Planning Leads to Abortion (Quasi Re-Blog)

NOTE: This an adaptation (or re-writing) of an earlier post from March 2021

Communism = “the deadly plague that is creeping into the very fibers of human society and leading it on to the verge of destruction”

– Pope Leo XIII in Quod Apostolici muneris (1878).

That’s the Holy Father lamenting the contagion that had already snuck into western civilization over several previous decades, and one of the many wicked tentacles of modernism.

First, let’s be clear that “central economic planning,” “communism,” “socialism,” “freemasonry,” “Jew-ism,” “Zionism,” “Marxism,” and “fascism,” are all the same. Let us set aside this futile notion that there’s any subtlety or nuance to these different strands of social/political evil. The editorial team at Catholics Aren’t Zombies insists on calling a spade a spade, a heretic a heretic, and a fag a fag. Communism corresponds to this dynamic as well.

Why is it such a pernicious scourge against civilization?

There are many reasons; some more alarming than others. As a society adopts central banking, a prohibition on child labor, and income taxation (hallmarks of communism), it generates a near occasion for the grave sin of abortion.

In this article, I’ll illustrate how these communist evils have plagued America and other countries for over 100 years, and their implications for western civilization’s slow demographic extinction.

Central Banking & Child Labor Prohibition: Very Commie Ideas

First things first, central banking and prohibition of child labor are clearly enumerated in the 10 Planks of Marxism from none other than Uncle Karl himself. Central banking is the 5^th plank. Prohibition of child labor is the 10^th plank. Traditional Catholics can have nothing to do with communism, according to at least five pre-conciliar popes, making all of its planks loathsome and unacceptable.

How would we define these concepts? Here’s how Karl Marx explained them, something you’ll find compatible with most modern implementations.

• Central Banking – Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.
• Child Labor Prohibition – Free education for all children in government schools. Abolition of children’s factory labor in its present form.
  • NOTE: most areas have taken this a step forward by calling for mandatory education for all children, in a one-size-fits-all framework, and regardless of any demand or desire for it.

What is a Near Occasion of Sin?

How do we connect the American Federal Reserve (the U.S. Central bank), and the abolition of child labor, with the slaughter of babies in the womb?

I’ll explain but let’s first make sure we’re clear about the concept of a near occasion of sin.

From the Baltimore Catechism (Lesson 18 on Contrition):

Q. 771. What do you mean by the near occasion of sin?
A. By the near occasions of sin, I mean all the persons, places, and things that may easily lead us to sin.

Note how it says “persons, places, and things.” This leaves room for the interpretation that certain things or concepts (perhaps government and regulations) could lead people to sin. We would want to avoid and eliminate these as much as possible. Now that we recall the concept of a near occasion of sin, let’s inspect the connection between central banking, child labor, and abortion.

Marxism’s 5th Plank: Why Central Banking Is Awful

Many modern women cite economic reasons as their justification for obtaining an abortion. Poor personal finances don’t mitigate the sinful nature of abortion, but it’s easy to see how they exacerbate human weakness, increasing the temptation to interfere with God’s designs.

What are some ways society further inflicts economic hardship on young women and families, thus pressuring them to commit abortion (or at least contracept)?

It’s rotten enough when the government directly imposes unjust taxes, but there are other surreptitious ways for them to rob you blind. The Federal Reserve hurts all of us with the backdoor tax of monetary inflation.

The Fed’s expert-bureaucrats manipulate the currency to extract the purchasing power of your money, and one way they do it is by inflating the number of circulating dollars. You don’t have to possess a PhD in economics to comprehend this simple trend:

• As the supply of dollars increases, their individual value decreases (thus ruining their purchasing power).
• By the way, whenever they print those new dollars, you can be certain that, absent a few paltry examples, they don’t deposit it into your checking account. Those new bucks go to, well, our friend’s with bigger noses who own many banks.

The U.S. Federal Reserve (a central bank run by communist perverts) increases the money supply to cover government debt. They do this whenever politicians lack the courage to approach the public for a tax hike to pay for wars and other lunatic programs. More money in circulation means the modest pittance of yours becomes less and less valuable.

The current central banking milieu has been around since 1913, contributing to the logarithmic decay of your hard-earned money. You can check this government resource to calculate how much a dollar is worth today compared to 1913 ($1 then is the equivalent of about $31.39 now).

• NOTE: It was only $1 to $26 when I originally wrote this piece in 2021.

What are the implications for men and women of child-rearing age?

It leaves them with a nagging temptation to contracept and abort their offspring for fear of having to feed yet another mouth with progressively shrinking purchasing power. Housing, gasoline, food, healthcare, and education costs have surged because of this and it strains a family’s budget beyond sustainability (worse for single parents).

All other factors held constant, ruining a family’s money will entice them to be rid of so many mouths to feed.

Want to save lives? End the Fed!

Now, what about the child labor angle?

Marxism’s 10th Plank – No Child Labor: Turning Children from Assets to Liabilities

“Blessed are all they that fear the Lord: that walk in his ways. For thou shalt eat the labours of thy hands: blessed art thou, and it shall be well with thee. Thy wife as a fruitful vine, on the sides of thy house. Thy children as olive plants, round about thy table.” Psalm 127:1-3

In the old days, before all the runaway and intentional inflation, mankind viewed their children as assets (without question). However, this is no longer obvious since modern planned economies have constructed ways to render children useless. Gone are the days where they might offer small assistance to family businesses (which communists hate), while generating invaluable life and vocational skills.

Child labor suffers undo vilification because the media has conned everyone into thinking that working children are exploited like chimney sweeps and beggars, reminiscent of Oliver Twist. This is untrue, however. By prohibiting children from working, we’ve not only taken away the essential entry-level experience, but have also made them an economic liability until they’re old enough to do anything productive.

Also, when young people (especially teenage men) cannot work or build skills, it stunts their chances of attracting a wife early enough to yield a large family. We extend childhood forever, which means nobody can marry or have children until their mid-20’s, if not much later.

As I mentioned in Caesar Vacantism, all it takes to outbreed secular humanists (achieve replacement rate), would be for 30% of Catholics to reproduce an average of seven children. This would allow for our folks a better chance of regaining control of the system but we’re still struggling to hit this target.

Today, single moms have become the primary conceivers of children (with their relentless accidental fornication), but inevitably go broke trying to raise them. As this continues, it’s not hard to see the obvious incentive to commit abortion and avoid penury.

Women in the Workplace: Yet Another Centrally Planned Scam

A few deluded college airheads do not represent the preponderance of American women.

Then there are other symptoms of the same problem, the social engineering that comes from central economic planning. The third tidal wave of feminism (from the 1970s) would have you believe women once possessed an insatiable longing to enter the workforce. This is an example of ex-post-facto marketing, where the rulers of the world propagandized women working after inflation forced them into it.

Once Nixon eliminated the gold standard, allowing central planners to print money, the country experienced a rapid increase in consumer/producer prices, thereby requiring families to chase after more income. Men’s incomes were no longer enough to cover household expenses. Since children (a solid liability by that point) couldn’t work to help families, that left only one other option . . . wives had to work.

Thus, strong, independent women, vis-à-vis third-wave feminism, were born out of response to an inflationary crisis. Once again, if you understand how this was created by central economic planning, then it’s easy to see where the “women’s working” movement originated.

It’s not a coincidence that no-fault divorce arrived at this time as well. Russia, who would spearhead the legalization of abortion, had also enacted no-fault divorce three years earlier, in 1917. In the U.S, California started no-fault divorce in 1969, whereas the rest of the country would soon follow suit, all right along the time of Roe v. Wade (1973).

With 1970s inflation creating the need for an “all-hands-on-deck” labor force, women and men had to become breadwinners, then inevitably competitors. It was only a matter of time before the spirit of workplace competition would cascade over into an all-out “battle of the sexes” in every other aspect. Marriage disintegration, weakening families, selfishness, single-person households, and much of today’s social misery all stem from this one way or another.

Is Abortion an “Unholy Sacrifice”? Well, Now It Certainly Is.

For several years, pro-life activists have made the well-intended claim that abortion is akin to a satanic or molochian sacrifice. While I’m almost inclined to agree with this assertion, it’s only been indisputably true with the arrival of the wicked COVID death-vaccines.

If something is to be termed a “sacrifice,” it must involve three essential elements:

1. An Offering of a Victim
2. A Slaying of the Victim
3. Consumption of the Victim

Until just the last few years, I don’t know of many abortions that involved that final step (any direct consumption). It at least would not have been commonplace, or well reported. Hitherto, we would be on safer ground to consider abortion a mere “slaughter” (still rather horrific, though).

Now, however, we see that the COVID death-vaxxes, heavily touted by abortionists, carried human fetal tissues, derived from abortions. This means that the folks who received (and, in a sense, consumed) the jabs, also consumed aborted children to some extent or another.

I can’t confirm that EVERY death-vaxx vial contains aborted children, but we can now claim, with certainty, that the communists have cajoled much of society into consuming the unborn. Therefore, abortion is now, beyond a shadow of a doubt, a full-fledged, sacrifice activity, as well as a source of human cannibalism.

Are you starting to comprehend how all these leftist, anti-church practices and planks meld together?

Conclusion: Ending Communism & The Conversion of Russia

Catholics have no excuse not to oppose the wicked ideas of central banking, taxation, child labor abolition, and forced women’s labor, which almost all western democracies have enacted. These institutions do not help the poor, protect children, or “empower” women. They lead to misery, poverty, aborted children, cat-women, Trans-Jennerism, and rich Zionists. 

What can we do to combat this seemingly insurmountable fight against the confiscators and child murderers of the world?

Pray the Rosary every day. Offer it for the removal of every miserable plank of Marxism from all the world governments. Then offer it for more appreciation for the blessing of children, and the triumph of Our Lady’s Immaculate heart over the communist culture of death. Finally, don’t forget that all of this is part of a grander conspiracy, the ominous errors of Russia, that will not abate until we satisfy Our Lady’s demands.

Since there STILL hasn’t been a consecration of Russia to Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart, we must work more earnestly to pray for the following.

• The end of Jorge Bergoglio’s antipapacy (including his well-being and conversion).
• For God to grant the legitimate election of a new pope.
• For that pope to ignore the global elite and consecrate Russia (not the world, not Russians, not Siberia, not Kamchatka . . . RUSSIA).

Until this happens, the spiritual floggings will worsen.
