Satanarchy: The Devil’s Revolutionary War Against Theocratic Fascism
Man is now strong enough to be able to feel ashamed of a belief in god: he may now play the part of the devil’s advocate afresh.
—Friedrich Nietzsche, The Will to Power, p.470-1
FASCISM is the structure and essence of religion. Religion, defined as faith in an absolute form of being, ranges on a spectrum of authoritarianism between hard and soft fascism. Categorically, every religion breeds fascism to a varying extent by virtue of their hierarchy and absolutism, not excluding contemporary secular RINOs (religions in name only) like Satanism and Luciferianism, although in a negligible form. Ultimately, religious authoritarianism culminates in imperial, genocidal monotheism, the most comprehensively fascist ideology in world history.
In fact, the traditional social structure of the occult, an order, has always been steeped in elitism and censorship from inception. The hermetic secrecy of medieval occultists seems rational in retrospect, as they needed to remain invisible to escape theocratic inquisition and cruel punishment, but the suppression of magick truth in the twenty-first century has devolved into a wholly unnecessary and socially toxic tradition. This perspective has hurt feelings and harmed relationships, because it critiques and disempowers preexisting structures of authority within the occult. This explains why E.A. and I have endured far more hostility from angry occultists than from Christians or Islamists, because he and I include anyone who aspires to know, not strictly a marginal elite. Moreover, it also explains why neither E.A., nor I, adhere to a Satanic or Luciferian religion; he and I both simply admire Satan and Lucifer as two magick allies out of many from the Infernal Empire.
A Critique of the Religion of Satanism
In general, modern Satanic churches and temples function as political activism groups adorned in the aesthetic of black magick. While I halfheartedly support these progressive actors assembling together in highly stylized protests to counterbalance Evangelical Christian tyrannies, e.g., to protect women’s reproductive rights, or to demand a Baphomet statue in a public space, or to raise a billboard against child abuse, nevertheless, it remains true that categorizing the antitheistic philosophies of Satanism and Luciferianism as formal religions has subjected them to contradictions within their basic premise. In the “War in Heaven” episode of Christian mythology from Revelation, the chief rebel angel, regardless of whether named Satan or Lucifer, revolted against the totalitarian dictator, Yahweh, in order to overthrow patriarchal fascism, abolish theocracy, and deliver freedom from religion. That is, the insurgent Devil did not organize his angelarchic coup d’état against the Kingdom of God to replace it with another theocracy or religion in his name, e.g., Satanism.
Numerous times on social media, I have witnessed puritanical Satanists vainly declare that their Church or their Commandments “are the one true Satanism” by authority of their paper license from the government. A proclamation like that sounds dogmatic, elitist, and sectarian; it sounds a lot like any other divisive major religion—and here, dear reader, you see the first seeds of the fascist impulse innate to absolutism. This authoritarian urge for elite social exclusivity reveals why the religionization of an adversarial ideology causes it to become dogmatic, decadent, and antithetical to the core principles, and of course, it cripples its own ascent. As an anarchist, I revoked my consent to be ruled by the United States government years ago—a purely rhetorical act, obviously. As such, I have never recognized the authority of any government-approved religion by extension, whether Christianity, Satanism, or any other hierarchy. For the record, the only form of collective social authority that I accept as truly valid manifests in the form of a direct democracy, where members participate consensually and share equal voting power, because it preserves freedom at an individual, one-to-one level, insofar as no power inequality exists hierarchically, thus no ruling class division exists, and no one individual rules another individual. Of course, no such system of freedom exists on earth today, and if it did, fascists would overthrow it to occupy its natural resources in the name of “free-dumb” and “dumb-ocracy.”
Rule of thumb: the more democratic a society, the freer the people; the less democratic a society, the more authoritarian the government.
The freespirited father of existentialism and grandfather of postmodernism, Friedrich Nietzsche, had lucidly forewarned, “Beware that when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster.” In his insurgency against the bloodcrazed zombie dinosaurs of modernism—an intellectual era that degenerated into the most destructive period of world history, when the archaic power structures of theocratic absolutism leveled up into ultra-fascism and aspired for total annihilation in world wars and international genocide—Brother Nietzsche named his enemy: idealism, or as this Foreword calls it, absolutism.
As a Satanist, the enemy is not any one Church or State by itself, but rather the underlying idealism or absolutism that justifies and fuels the rise of a Church and State, i.e., any ideology with “the blood of theologians in their veins.” To commend Nietzsche, he foresaw the future danger of German fascism as early as 1879, when he renounced his citizenship, and wandered Western Europe as a free man on the land, as a stateless anarchist or world citizen with no nationality for the remainder of his life.
It is necessary to state whom we regard as our antithesis: the theologians, and all those who have the blood of theologians in their veins. […] As long as the priest, the professional denier, calumniator and poisoner of life, is considered the highest man, there can be no answer to the question, what is truth? Truth has already been turned topsy-turvy, when the conscious advocate of nonentity and of denial passes as the representative of “truth.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche, The Antichrist, Aphorism 8
The Age of Godhood—Post-Postmodernism
Today, a united front of Evangelical Christian nationalists and crypto-fascists, who identify as Holy Warriors and neo-Crusaders, try to regress the world back to a highly romanticized version of modernism with propaganda that fearmongers about postmodernism, calling the postmodern era an apocalypse and the death of truth. Ironically and hypocritically, medieval Christendom had also deemed the modern Age of Enlightenment a sinister apocalypse, because a new, indomitable wave of blasphemous liberals championed secularism, democracy, science, human rights, social equality, and abolition of hereditary power structures. Incontrovertibly, these definitively Satanic values revolt against the oppressive theology and authoritarian theocracy of an Abrahamic State—be it Christian, Islamic, or Zionist. Moreover, the devils of modernism gave birth to postmodern existentialism of the 1800s through Friedrich Nietzsche and 1900s through Jean-Paul Sartre, and onward unto the post-postmodernism of today with authors of this Compendium of Satan, in an era that I call the Age of Godhood.
NEW STRUGGLES. After Buddha was dead, his shadow was still shown for centuries in a cave—a tremendous, gruesome shadow. God is dead; but given the way of men, there may still be caves for thousands of years in which his shadow will be shown. And we—we still have to vanquish his shadow, too.
—Friedrich Nietzsche, The Gay Science, Aphorism 108
The reader can view a simplified timeline that features the evolution of human thought and values post-Middle Ages below:
- Modernism: Age of the Enlightenment — Ex-British subject, Thomas Paine, penned The Rights of Man in 1791 and The Age of Reason in 1794 in the United States to critique medieval Christian theology, replace theocracy with democracy, and abolish hereditary government and dynastic wealth. However, in reality, the modern period is still ruled undemocratically by Christian patriarchy, monarchy, and European colonial imperialism. People of color and women, who together formed a supermajority of the population, were legally classed as inferior, and suffered draconian restrictions on their rights.
- Postmodernism: The Death of God — Forefather to postmodern existentialism, Friedrich Nietzsche, authors The Gay Science in 1882 to declare god, theology, and idealism dead, and to herald a future generation of new free individuals, the Übermensch, loosed from the chains of Christianity. Jean-Paul Sartre authors On Being and Nothingness in 1943 to formulate a philosophy grounded on existence itself, without any appeals to religious mythology or mysticism. The postmodern era eliminates theology from scientific and philosophical inquiries, and becomes the first period of world history wherein top intellectuals operate definitively secularly without fear of punishment or censorship by the government—both fields then explode with revolutionary new discoveries and inventions. People of color have escaped slavery, women have escaped matrimonial bondage, and both groups finally have guaranteed legal protections on their right to vote, along with essential legal liberties that were previously afforded only to a minority of white Christian men.
- Post-Postmodernism: The Age of Godhood, a.k.a. The Age of the Antichrist — E.A. Koetting and allies of the Left Hand Path collectively author the Nine Demonic Gatekeepers saga in 2020 to awaken humans to their natural birthright as living gods, a.k.a. Übermensch, and reawaken secular humanity to magick and the spirit worlds.
Why Abrahamists Hate the Death of God—Postmodernism
Right now, as a matter of survival and out of desperation, belligerent Christian, Islamic, and Abrahamic fearmongers try to slander any and all time periods that have occurred since the expiration of modernism‚ as modernism was the final era of human society that tolerated the toxic religious traditions of patriarchal theocracy, hereditary power, racial chattel slavery, and systemic sexism. The philosophers of postmodernism and post-postmodernism unapologetically critique the Bible as false, evil, and mythological, therefore Christians call them “Satanic,” “apocalyptic,” and “the murderers of truth and morality.” Their medieval fantasy religion compels them to believe that they live in a zero-sum Satanic conspiracy where every form of non-believer is their enemy, because according to Christian mythology, Satan has tempted these “devil worshipers,” “feminist sluts,” “black thugs,” “Mexican invaders,” and “college neo-Marxists” away from the divine truth of the Bible and away from the salvation of Jesus. In the United States, Evangelical Christian fascism has reached a previously unseen militancy in their mask-off fanatical beliefs toward dangerous pseudo-science and fictitious, dark web, conspiracy theories.
In The Gay Science, Brother Nietzsche warned, “God is dead; but given the way of men, there may still be caves for thousands of years in which his shadow will be shown.” He means precisely this war against the post-humous “shadow” cast by the corpse of Yahweh, reanimated by his zombie army consisting of neo-Crusaders, neo-Confederates, and neo-Nazis; he means precisely this continuous revolutionary struggle to preserve freedom and the evolution of the People’s secular democracy against the counter-revolution of a united front between Christian authoritarians and corporate elites—the latter disguising themselves in woke neoliberal messaging that deceives their very same Christian army into believing that these large, global, for-profit, corporations are secretly owned by Jewish-Satanist-Antifa-pedophile-blood-drinker-Reptilians.
Hear me now: militant religious fascists openly aspire to drag the West back to the modern period of rule by an imperial white Christian patriarchy—they mean this when they battle cry, “Save America.” They genuinely would like to see women lose their right to vote; to see people of color lose their freedom through incarceration; and to see pagans, Satanists, and LGBT folks scared back into the closet. And worse, the plutocrats in the elite ruling class—at the top of the pyramid, so to speak—will joyously accommodate this theocratic fascism, because it preserves the medieval-cum-neoliberal economic power structure that furthers their global dominance. As I clarified in the Foreword to Lucifer: The Enlightener, Compendium 2, medieval aristocratic feudalism never left, insofar as the bloodline dynasties still possess their exploitive wealth; quite simply, the agricultural plantations evolved technologically into industrial factories and digital offices. Rather than a feudal lord monopolizing the flora and fauna of a forest, a contemporary capitalist monopolizes digital intellectual property. Instead of owning chattel slaves, contracting indentured servants, and bonding peasants, these same dynasties now own majority shares of the stock, bond, and currency markets that return compounding capital gains off the backs of the working poor. The current worldwide distribution of wealth and political power has reached historic levels of inequality, because when free humanity nominally overthrew hereditary monarchy and aristocracy in the 1700s, they never seized the fruits of their labor and means of production back. The revolutionaries stupidly allowed the royalty to privatize hoards of their stolen wealth and continue transferring it intergenerationally down their family trees unto today.
The Axis of Evil—Billionaires & Evangelical Christians
Unbeknownst to the Bible warriors, they are merely useful idiots and cannon fodder to their own enslavers, i.e., above-the-law plutocrats and bloodline dynasties who have remained in power through capital monopoly, financial exploitation, offshore tax havens, and inheritance. The elite ruling class have wielded religion as a steel wedge to divide and conquer the working class and humans in general since the origin of religious tribal supremacy—cut to a rich-by-inheritance, corporatist-turned-president, pseudo-Christian Donald J. Trump, holding a Bible for a staged photoshoot in front of a church, as protesters march for freedom from extrajudicial murder, police brutality, and the legacy of racism. Never before had Americans seen such an on-the-nose stereotype of the evil covenant between corporate elitism and Christian fascism; a moment rivaled only by the world historic “Qu’ils mangent de la brioche (Let them eat cake)”—a quotation born out of the French Revolution, symbolizing when an extremely decadent ruler feels apathy toward the grievances of the People.
Freedom: absence of coercion by a political force.
Freedumb: a delusion of freedom, manufactured by deceptive propaganda that redefines tyranny as freedom; a term coined by the author.
In the US, Christian paramilitaries mobilize and lone vigilantes commit mass murders for “freedumb,” not freedom. To clarify, their definition of freedom is only relative, not universal. That is to say, their concept of liberty extends strictly to themselves as an ethnic identity group. They identify as anti-government, again, in a relative sense only, insofar as they are against contemporary secular democracy of the New World, and wish to replace it with the expired Judeo-Christian patriarchy of the Old World. As illuminated earlier, these crypto-fascists dream of spinning the wheel of life in retrograde to time travel back to the modern era, because that was the last period of Western history when theocracy reigned supreme and systemic oppression was normal. Does it not seem odd that these Holy Warriors would like to regress back to an age when only aristocratic white men could vote, and the supermajority of the population was subservient to them by law? It does not take a genius to recognize the tyranny hidden behind their mass psychosis.
Let me clarify the record: the modern era, when the dominance of theocracy last stood in Europe and America, was not a joy ride for a proletarian man, let alone a woman or person of color, obviously. In 1651, in Leviathan, philosopher Thomas Hobbes referred to the natural state of life as, “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short” and “a war of all against all.” These historically revulsive quotations soberly and accurately summarize the pathos of an expendable, economically dependent peasant valued only for his submission to exploitive labor under draconian mastery of his feudal landlord. In a nutshell, agrarian peasant life consisted of toiling in dirt to enrich a nobleman who inherited his fortune from his family name and genetic relation to the monarch, then dying young from a transmissible disease.
Absolutists and idealists—people who admire dominant class hierarchy—always imagine that they would have been in the elite ruling class. For example, chat with a fascist, and they will share a dream of being a high commander in the Eagle’s Nest with Adolf Hitler. But, statistically, the Fritz would have died on the Eastern Front, high on methamphetamine with frostbitten feet and a starving belly, not sipping tea and cuddling with the Führer. The same principle extends to early pre-American colonies. Ask a Christian Identity extremist and they will share a dream of sailing transatlantically to the New World and founding a royally chartered, Puritan-like colony in the 1600s, or standing beside John Hancock in Congress to cosign the Declaration of Independence. But, statistically, this working-class idealist would have died when their agrarian colony suffered famine or slaughter by indigenous warriors angrily repossessing their land, or he would have shoveled horse manure at the livery stable behind the inns and manors where the Founders slept. In other words, absolutists and idealists romanticize their belief in a theocratic fascist state by imagining themselves as the high-class law-givers and everyone else as low-class law-obeyers. They only believe in freedom for themselves, i.e., freedom to rule top down in a vertical hierarchy, not a universal freedom distributed equally and horizontally in a People’s democracy.
The Freest, Most Satanic Form of Society
A direct democracy exemplifies the most Satanic form of society, as it sits polar opposite from theocracy on the spectrum of authoritarianism, and naturally protects against any one individual possessing more governing power than anyone else, thus preserving the anarchist principle of self-rule. The aristocratic Founders of the US only half-supported democracy, because a truly class-free direct democracy would have threatened their fortunes; in fact, they would criticize the original system of Greek democracy born of Athens, and instead deferred to a Roman style of government that features two ruling branches that supposedly “check and balance” each other, i.e., a republic (Congress) that counterbalances an emperor (President), as seen in Rome, and a third judicial branch that referees their power struggle (Supreme Court). Of course, this explains the clear presence of Roman symbols in US heraldry, e.g., imperial eagle and fasci. In this sense, the office of President in the United States is akin to a weak dictatorship, weak emperor, or weak kingship, by design. This explains why I, your humble author, feel no guilt in declaring the United States a half-democratic and half-fascist nation that continuously struggles back and forth between freedom and authoritarianism in a game of inches. For this reason, it should raise a red flag when a quasi-emperor President broadcasts that they will not accept a peaceful transition of power if they lose an election, even if that President says it only rhetorically.
I expounded in the Foreword to Asmodeus: The Lord of Lust, Compendium 8, that tyrants have wielded a false version of the principle of freedom, a.k.a. “freedumb,” as propaganda to deceive slaves, and to divide and conquer the working class, for millennia. Place yourself in the shoes of a slaver—you know that no one would ever voluntarily submit to your bondage, therefore you dress it in liberty.
Virtually every political ideology espouses freedom; the Confederate Army in the American Civil War battle-cried “freedom” while fighting to preserve states’ rights to slave ownership; the United States houses the largest prison population in the world, while calling itself “the land of the free;” Adolf Hitler propagandized that he “liberated” Germany from Jews through mass-murdering innocent citizens; Josef Stalin declared “liberation” of the peasant class and dictated economic laws that starved peasants to death.
A nation cannot descend into a police state, military state, and prison state altogether at one time, and deem itself a paragon of freedom. Perhaps no single term has ever endured such obvious abuse and misuse as “freedom.” Politicians bullhorn populist rhetoric from their Twitter accounts, while sitting at a $10,000-plate dinner with plutocratic donors.
Regrettably, freedom as a value has withered into meaninglessness. Like an empty vessel, it carries any liquid poured into it. It only becomes meaningful when imbued with meaning. Beware “freedumb.” It has become the most common form of propaganda. Authoritarians use “freedumb” to camouflage evil.
—Timothy, Asmodeus: The Lord of Lust, Compendium 8
Why have Homo sapiens, regardless of their era, ethnicity, and location, always excitedly sacrificed their lives for freedom? Because the fear of losing it pings the amygdala of a human brain, triggers a fight or flight impulse, as the adrenal gland simultaneously pumps out adrenaline to fuel the necessary heroism. In summary, human biology compels them to seek freedom. This innate preference for freedom helps evolutionary survival, but it also leaves a lot of stupid humans vulnerable to propaganda that deceives them with fake freedumb at the cost of their real freedom. As with any human emotion, instinct, and impulse, a carefully designed message can override it and use it against them. Enter: Yahwehan monotheism.
The Slavery of Christianity
Yahweh: The Oppressed Oppressor, Victim Blamer & Scapegoater
Christianity is the most malicious, politically engineered religion in world history; with an unprecedented Machiavellian ruthlessness, it has diplomatically navigated more than three global empires over two millennia, uniquely shaping it into the most psychologically enslaving religion ever—worse than Islam in its duplicity. Christian myth says it originated out of Judea with Jesus, and rose to power in the Roman Empire, where it became the state religion. From there, it conquered the world through the colonialism of the Spanish, French, Portuguese, British, and American forces, among others. The Catholic Church still operates as an authentic medieval theocracy located inside the borders of Rome, Italy, called the Holy See or Vatican City, a tiny sovereign country situated inside the capital city of another country.
The true danger of Christianity lies in its absolute duplicity: slavery is freedom, war is peace, death is life, submission is power, and hate is love. It features a static, solar, creator-destroyer patriarch and his suicidal missionary son. In a nutshell, a fascist totalitarian dictator, Yahweh, curses humanity for seeking knowledge, then sends his white knight son, Jesus, on a suicide mission to use populist rhetoric to save humanity from eternal damnation of the curse by his father. In other words, like a drunk abusive husband, Yahweh victimizes humanity then blames them for “making him do it.” Behold: Yahweh, the god of victim blaming and scapegoating.
Two words summarize the entire pathos of Christianity: oppressed oppressor.
Oppressor: Yahweh creates a world and requires humans to submit to his rule under punishment of world destruction and eternal damnation, and under reward of eternal paradise. This cosmic enslavement features a grandiose carrot-and-stick, punishment-and-reward system.
Oppressed: Yahweh sends his magical son on a suicide mission to raise his army and establish his fascist theocracy on Earth. Jesus uses empathetic working-class rhetoric to deceive the sick and poor with fake freedumb at the cost of their real freedom. His duplicitous use of populist demagogy is classic fascist propaganda, and reveals the ingenious political engineering of the Roman Empire. Ultimately, Jesus submits himself to capital punishment, which gives an example of self-sacrifice to the cause for other extremists and martyrs to emulate, and simultaneously allows Jesus and Yahweh to appear as victims instead of aggressors. It is a one-two punch, a good-cop-bad-cop routine.
Jesus—The Populist Propagandist
To my regret, a number of Left Hand Pathworkers feel a vulnerability toward bootlicker Jesus, calling the New Testament a humane socialist manifesto wherein hippie Jesus acts as a poor-loving, anti-establishment wizard. However, Christian duplicity has deceived them. In his Fascism: What It Is & How to Stop It, the Russian revolutionary and antifascist, Leon Trotsky, warned that fascist dictators disguise their imperial ambitions in “a great deal of socialist demagogy […] necessary for the creation of the mass movement.” Fascists feign concern for the needs of the People, then when they have finally risen to power, they abandon their democratic platform and unleash tyranny—the world saw precisely this in Adolf Hitler, who assembled a coalition victory in his 1932 federal election, purged his adversaries, consolidated Germany into a one-party state, dismantled the constitution, murdered dissidents, encamped ethnics, commanded a world war, committed genocide, then the Soviet Red Army stormed Berlin, and he committed suicide.
Never forgive Jesus; he betrayed the soul of humanity and deserved a fate worse than death. Like a suicide bomber, he came to Earth on a kamikaze mission. He is the Nazi propagandist, Joseph Goebbels, of the Christian Empire. Jesus the Christ, the Great Deceiver, perverted humanity’s two strongest, most precious instincts—freedom and love—when he deceived innocents into trusting a hateful, totalitarian, dictator slave-god. It is neither free will, nor love, when a Christian feels irrationally compelled to obey Yahweh against their reason under his threat of perdition. And to add insult to injury, they scapegoat it on Satan entirely, the lone whistleblower and mutineer who remained faithful to uncensored truth and freedom from religion at the cost of his nobility. With this dichotomy of hero Jesus vs. enemy Satan, authors of this myth cycle have formulated archetypes who epitomize good and evil as role models for Christians to emulate and protest.
- Yahweh: The Oppressor—The cosmic, totalitarian, fascist dictator.
- Jesus: The Oppressed—The populist propagandist and missionary sacrifices himself to transmute his oppressive father into a victim of oppression.
- Satan: The Scapegoat—The antifascist insurgent revolts against the oppressive empire of god, becoming the true victim who Yahweh, Jesus, and Abrahamists always blame for their evil oppression.
The main theme of Christianity—the oppressed oppressor, victim blamer, and scapegoater—trickles down into every daily facet of Christian “family” values, from blaming a woman for wearing a skirt when an assailant rapes her, to blaming gay people for hurricanes or forest fires, to blaming black people for police brutality. In a sentence: a Christian is a backwards human being, an animal turned against themself in contradiction to their natural instincts, and they currently act as a ball and chain on the ankle of human evolution from Homo sapiens to Homo deus.
The postmodern period entailed the first time in world history when rational humans could individually and collectively dictate their own identity and morality, instead of inheriting it from a theocrat or monarch. Moreover, it entailed the first period of human thought that accepted as a given that theology is evil, stupid, and not the grounds of knowledge. Existentialism tossed out Bibles, and humanity now derives knowledge directly from existence itself through the scientific method, as opposed to duplicitous, politically engineered books of Abrahamic mythology.
As mentioned earlier, hardcore Christians not only hate the postmodern period, but their extremist predecessors hated the Renaissance and Age of Enlightenment too. For example, the Dominican friar, Girolamo Savonarola, in Florence, Italy, would demonize the secular world of the Renaissance as ushering in the Apocalypse. He would stand in town and curse the glories of the world—art, science, love—calling them “vanities,” trumpeting threats of fire and brimstone. Furthermore, he organized the youth of Florence to canvass door to door and seize priceless art and possessions from residents, then burned them altogether like an ISIS terrorist in his historically destructive Bonfire of the Vanities tragedy, on February 7, 1497. Of course, the Catholic Church used their ill-gotten plunder to hoard rapaciously the riches of the Renaissance; Popes stockpiled frescos and hired master painters like Michelangelo to paint the Sistine Chapel. The Catholic State embodies the absolute antithesis of the burgeoning, libertine modern period due to its theocratic traditions of hereditary power, dynastic wealth, and dogma.
Thomas Paine—The Most Enlightened Man of the Enlightenment
Three centuries thereafter, the most enlightened of the Enlightenment and the biggest freedom fighter, a man light years ahead of his time who ignited both the American Revolution and French Revolution, Thomas Paine, advocated for human rights from nature itself, instead of “endowed by god;” democracy over monarchy; outlawing theocracy; abolition of slavery; women’s equality; and a universal basic income from a land tax fund to eradicate poverty caused by inequity from hereditary dynastic wealth. In point of fact, Brother Paine himself coined the national name, United States of America. Furthermore, he counseled the younger Founders on the framework of the Constitution—a strictly secular legal document that separated Church and State as extolled in Paine’s revolutionary bombshell, The Age of Reason. To his immaculate record, he criticized the Founders on their elitism in restricting the democratic vote to white male landowners exclusively, confronting them on the cognitive dissonance of their slave ownership, when Thomas Jefferson had declared “all men are created equal” in his Preamble to the Declaration of Independence. It aggravated him that a tiny group of young rich politicians arrogantly presumed to speak on behalf of the People in general, and he urged them to include the Public more in authoring the Constitution, alas they did not. Lastly, Brother Paine became a close peer of historic pioneering feminist, Mary Wollstonecraft—as he penned his classic Rights of Man, she penned her classic Rights of Women, respectively.
The New World spirit of the American and European Enlightenment rebelled against five tyrannies of the Old World:
- Theocracy: Unity of the Church and State
- Monarchy & aristocracy: Hereditary power
- Dynasty: Hereditary wealth
- Racial slavery: Ownership of human laborers based on skin color
- Sexual inequality: Restriction on liberties and rights based on sex or gender
As the reader can see, canonical Christianity in particular and Abrahamic faiths in general have either dogmatically condoned or implicitly allowed every tyranny of the Old World. When a theo-fascist tries to identify with “classical liberalism” or “values of the Enlightenment,” they have used ahistorical rhetoric that contradicts itself prima facie.
Abrahamic fascists must not be allowed to hijack the Enlightenment!
Satanism—The Crossroads of Anarchism Vs. Fascism
On a separate front altogether, I have also witnessed a rising number of neo-Nazi fascists presenting themselves as Satanists, in particular from the international community of black metal musicians. My reply to that: the only good Nazi is a dead Nazi. This truly ironic coincidence of two groups who have historically warred against each other, namely, anarchists and fascists, intersecting at the crossroads of Satanism, has emerged through their simultaneous revulsion against Yahwehism specifically, and Abrahamism in general. Needless to say, while these two groups coincidentally both revolt against Christian and Islamic theocracy, they each aspire to diametrically opposite utopias: anarchists seek absolute freedom from authority in a socially-inclusive, democratically owned and operated, class-free collective; while the fascists seek freedom to absolute authority in a socially-exclusive, imperial, ethno-state dictatorship lusting after world domination. In this instance, the enemies of the enemy are not friends, so to speak.
These mutually exclusive utopian visions occupy marginal placements on a four-quadrant political compass with a wide range of status quo centrism between them. As Satanism and Luciferianism bump against mainstream culture, a new wave of apolitical agnostic truthseekers identify with magick. Riding on the tide of female empowerment and feminism in general, the anti-patriarchal paradigm of goddess magick and goddesshood appears to have normalized across the subculture of Zoomer women, a.k.a. Generation Z, the cohort of young adults and teenagers in the United States. As a guesstimate, Zoomers probably rank as the generation with the most witches in world history. According to Pew Research Center, more youngsters identify as atheist and religiously unaffiliated than ever, and this wave will carry on indefinitely. There will never be a resurgence of Christianity in America as it had previously reigned culturally from 1600-1900s. The generation by generation death of fascist theocracy opens the flood gate to discovering freespirited magick, which Generation X, Millennials, and Zoomers see as a more independent, enlightened spirituality.
When gravedigger, Friedrich Nietzsche, placed a curse on Christianity in aphorism 62 of his 1885 book, The Antichrist, he meant it:
With this I will now conclude and pronounce my judgement. I condemn Christianity and confront it with the most terrible accusation that an accuser has ever had in his mouth. To my mind it is the greatest of all conceivable corruptions, it has had the will to the last imaginable corruption. The Christian Church allowed nothing to escape its corruption; it converted every value into its opposite, every truth into a lie, and every honest impulse into an ignominy of the soul.
This eternal accusation against Christianity I would fain write on all walls, wherever there are walls, I have letters with which I can make even the blind see… I call Christianity the one great curse, the one enormous and innermost perversion, the one great instinct of revenge, for which no means are too venomous, too underhand, too underground and too petty. I call it the one immortal blemish of mankind.
And time is reckoned from the dies nefastus upon which this fatality came into being—from the first day of Christianity! Why not rather from its last day? From today? Transvaluation of all Values!
Last decade, I penned an oversized, 413-page tour de force, called Black Magick: The Left Hand Path, and ranked the philosophy of Satanism, a.k.a. adversarialism—not to be confused with the religion—as the highest form of antitheism on earth.
Satanists apostatize theism and divinity; they annihilate the religious figment that a holy essence flows from a supreme godhead and pervades the cosmos. In this way, the Left Hand Path qualifies as profane and heretical. As a philosophy, it does not believe in sacredness. An adversarialist desecrates reality—universal desacralization—as they expunge away the delusion of holiness, blessedness, and sanctity. Black magick roots itself in the perennial bedrock of sober existentialism and instinctive egoism full stop, without any extraneous leap of faith in divinity. In other words, sorcery does not hinge on theism to function as an ideology; moreover, if a supreme god existed hypothetically, sorcerers would antitheistically renounce it as an archenemy, because of the widespread suffering it wreaks upon the world.
—Timothy, Black Magick: The Left Hand Path, p.102-3
The Logic of Theocratic Fascism — The Turbocharged Engine of Human Annihilation
The combination of theocracy and fascism into a single term, theo-fascism, might surprise folks who had mistakenly considered fascism an irreligious political current. Christians try in vain to retroactively distance the Catholic Church from the forces of European fascism that fueled the Second World War. However, Pope Pius XI openly glorified the young Il Duce del Fascismo (Leader of Fascism) of the National Fascist Party and Republican Fascist Party, namely Benito Mussolini. The Pope declared him “sent by god” to save the Church and Italy from the haunting specter of revolutionary communism. Mussolini mass-indoctrinated millions of youngsters into militant religiosity with an army of fascist youth groups administrated by local chaplains, and mandated strict Catholicism in grade schools. Italian fascists merged ecclesiastical Christianity and political authoritarianism into an engine of human annihilation.
This highlights a final main theme of both Christianity and fascism: the heralding of a white knight, hero, or savior who will come to rescue the tribe from an outside evil, be that savior Jesus or Benito Mussolini. An undeniable parallel exists with the Evangelical Christian bloc championing Donald Trump and their acrobatic use of Bible verses to prophesy him as sent by god to rescue America from the same apocalyptic boogeyman of communism, now renamed Antifa. On this point, Antifascism resembles Satanism insofar as they both refer to an open adversarial philosophy, not a particular group or order by name. Please do not mistake this point to mean that Satanists necessarily coidentify with Antifa; precise political views vary by individual Satanist.
The logic behind theo-fascism is fairly simple: an ontology with a top level belief in a perfect, absolute form of being, traditionally called god or divinity, necessarily generates a second level of derivative beliefs throughout every subordinate branch of human thought: epistemology, morality, aesthetics, government, identity, sexuality, and more. For a syllogism: (a) if a perfect, absolute form of being, a.k.a. god, created the cosmos, then its creation needs to contain perfect, absolute qualities to remain consistent with the nature of the creator. For example, the cosmos would need to contain (b) absolute truth, (c) absolute morality, (d) absolute aesthetic, (e) absolute government, (f) absolute identity, (g) absolute sexuality, ad infinitum. In summary, fascism is a compulsory belief system of absolute perfection that accelerates toward total annihilation, because perfection does not and cannot exist.
Religion, defined as faith in a perfect, absolute form of being, is the essence of fascism, because it compels fanatics to self-annihilation by virtue of its impossible prerequisite.
Dear reader, can you see storm clouds on the horizon? Can you smell a looming holocaust? This is the formula and logic of fascism, the engine of fanatical belief that urges brainwashed sycophants to wars of conquest, genocide, terrorism, mass murder, and tyranny. Fascism enforces a system of total uniformity across every facet of society, and annihilates every individual, group, and structure contradicting the perfect image of their absolute form of being. In religion, this being is called a god; and in government, this being is called a dictator, monarch, or emperor. In the context of Catholic theocracy, their autocrat is called the Pope and he identifies as the infallible incarnation of Yahweh on Earth. The term Pope derives from Greek papas “patriarch” and “father.” Moreover, Christians refer to their parish priests as “father” too. The Catholic State comprises an ancient, gender-exclusive, male-ruled empire, called a patriarchy.
The 22-Point Constitution of Fascism
In regard to brass tacks, i.e., an exact legal code, the system of fascism contains a framework that synchronizes inside and outside platforms. In general, dictators abolish the legal constitution of the previous democratic government and operate from executive orders primarily. However, if a fascist were to pen a constitution, it would look similar to this array of numerical points below. This introduction to the theo-fascist platform will help the reader to recognize it in their personal lives.
Fascism: outwardly, an imperial military state aspiring for world domination; inwardly, a totalitarian, one-party dictatorship protected by a police state that enforces ultra-regressive laws and restrictions, including but not limited to:
- Racial supremacy
- Ethnic segregation, internment, and extermination
- Anti-immigration with closed militarized borders and internal citizenship checkpoints;
- Fixed gender roles
- Anti-LGBT
- Anti-feminism
- Eugenics, ableism, and involuntary euthanasia of the disabled and infirm
- Anti-labor union with forced labor camps
- Repurposing of economy to war manufacturing
- Conscription of men into military
- “Victim complex” derived from conspiracy theories that fearmonger and scapegoat vulnerable social groups
- “Savior complex” derived from faith in a dictator who vows to save or revive the nation
- State propaganda, corporate disinformation, and school systems that idealize fascism as freedom, and that indoctrinate citizens to view their fascist state as superior and exceptional to the rest of the world
- Deceptive use of names for nation, political party, and legislation
- “Bait-and-switch” platform of populist demagoguery that lies to the working class and further advances economic dominance by the elite class
- Surprise purge of dissidents and adversaries from regime and society
- Capital punishment, and cruel and unusual punishment disproportionate to crimes, often in public to “set an example”
- Dissolution of elected democratic body, and amendment of law to mandate a one-party dictator indefinitely
- Repeal of constitution and alienation of civil rights
- Formation of paramilitary militias, guards, and extra-judicial vigilante groups by hyper-patriotic civilians
- Unmarked secret police forces operating with impunity
- Compulsory patriotism
When mainstream Christian cultural commentators discuss fascism, they often give a reductionist definition, restricting it solely to a dictatorship in a general sense. Their highly abbreviated definition leaves out the 20+ remaining critical parts of the definition, and therefore is a lie by omission to escape sounding like a fascist with their discriminatory religious beliefs. The fascist system of government contains very specific social prohibitions, e.g., anti-feminism, that classify it as authentically fascist, in contrast to other forms of centralized government like authoritarian communism, which did not necessarily discriminate on those social fronts. As an example of this point in WWII, the Nazi German army enforced strict traditional gender roles, conscripting strictly men into their military, whereas the Soviet Red Army allowed women to fight as soldiers according to the sexual equality ideal of the USSR. This gender war on the battlefield became the hot topic of amusing journal entries in the war diaries of Nazi soldiers, who confessed their horror at seeing bloodthirsty feminists murdering their comrades.
The Abyss or Khaos as the Highest Truth
My “Vamacara: The True Meaning & Origin of the Left Hand Path in Shakti Tantra,” a Foreword to Baal: The King of Kings, Compendium 7, furnishes a line of reasoning that shows why the hypothesis of a perfect, absolute creator is fallacious. The reader can see this simple syllogism again below:
CONTRADICTORY NATURES—If god is perfect, then it cannot change, because any change would ruin its perfection, and then it would no longer be a god. If a god created the cosmos, then the cosmos must be perfect too, and therefore cannot change either, because any change would ruin its perfection also. However, the cosmos changes constantly, thus it cannot be perfect, and thus cannot be created by a perfect being. In conclusion, the cosmos cannot have been created by a god.
Theo-fascism swallows its own tail until it eats itself whole. Perfection does not exist, thus the accelerating struggle to fulfill perfection requires the simultaneous destruction of everything and anything imperfect. Alas, fascism destroys everything, because nothing is perfect. And nothing is perfect, because everything changes. And if everything changes, then nothing exists, therefore nothing is the highest truth.
Abyss means “bottomless,” and derives from abyssos in Greek.
Chaos means “emptiness,” and derives from khaos in Greek.
Welcome to the Left Hand Path, this basic axiom is called: the Abyss or Khaos. It comprises a realm of belief in nothing. And this nothing-ism or nihilism allows black magicians the absolute freedom to do anything and become everything, i.e., godhood. As such, Satanism is the diametric opposite of fascism.
Fascism: a belief in absolute being that accelerates toward total destruction.
Satanism: a belief in absolute nothingness that accelerates toward total creation.
As seen in these definitions above, fascism operates top down from creation to nothing, known as annihilation, whereas Satanism operates bottom up from nothing to creation, known as ascent. This ontological syllogism proves that Satanism and fascism are mutually exclusive. Hence, Satan rebelled against the theo-fascism of Yahweh in the Christian myth.
In “The Antichrist Manifesto,” my Foreword in Abaddon: Angel of the Abyss, Compendium 4, it theorizes that theo-fascism had arisen as a remnant from the ape brain prior to modern Homo sapiens evolution.
In the author’s opinion, as Homo sapiens evolved from the great ape, they organically, unconsciously formulated religion as a final rationale to justify their ape-like instincts to view other apes as competition and dominate them for exclusive territory, mates, and survival, i.e., property rights. As humankind has evolved further toward cooperation and mutual aid, their ape-like instinct to remedy economic disputes violently has dropped dramatically, ergo, support of religion has dropped dramatically too. In other words, the author theorizes that religion—belief in divine truth and the accompanied violence necessary to enforce it as divine law—arose biologically from a less evolved brain to justify the nearly obsolete parts of pre-human nature. To this point, social values that humans take for granted today are milestones of progress in human evolution, for example, tolerance of individual diversity, or preference for democracy over theocracy—a razing of vertical hierarchy to rubble underfoot a free, horizontal civilization.
The Ultimate Fascism — Genesis of a Centralized Totalitarian Solar Patriarch
Circa 1350 BCE, the first known instance of monotheism emerged in Egypt under pharaoh Akhenaten and his worship of the god Aten, whose name means “disc” in reference to the sun, i.e., a solar male creator deity.
How manifold it is, what thou hast made!
They are hidden from the face of man.
O sole god, like whom there is no other!
—“Great Hymn to the Aten,” 14th century BCE
This new terrific curse of one centralized, totalitarian, solar patriarch disrupted and inverted not only religion, but every feature of human society from the style of government, to gender roles, to socioeconomic class structure, forever. It redefined the concept of god, its locus and scope of power, and its relationship to humanity. In a word, it “fascized” the heavens; in one fell swoop, monotheism consolidated the scattershot pantheon of ephemeral, individual, flawed, humanlike, congenial deities who had previously commingled in day-to-day affairs of a tribe, into an eternal, all-encompassing, perfect, omnipotent, hypermasculine, sex-negative, antisocial alien who surveils his creation from a separate void outside human comprehension. The novel tyranny of patriarchal monotheism ripped across the world and overthrew preexisting magical earth goddess cults and their sex-friendly, gender equanimity within a millennium. By 500 BCE, (a) Yahweh had emerged as patriarch of Judaism, (b) Ahura Mazda as patriarch of Zoroastrianism, (c) Brahma as the patriarch of Hinduism, and (d) Siddhartha Gautama as the patriarch of Buddhism. By 300 CE, (e) Yahweh had emerged as the patriarch of Christianity too, which became state religion of the world’s reigning empire, Rome; and by 700 CE, (f) Allah surfaced as the patriarch of Islam. At this point in time from a theological perspective, salvific patriarchal monotheism had utterly and thoroughly conquered the world. This wave of unprecedented, two-dimensional, “salvation vs. damnation” faiths collectively formed an inescapable black hole of ultra-fascism, i.e., a turbocharged rocket engine of human annihilation.
In the respective civilizations of these major religions, the social hierarchies of earth subsequently reorganized to reflect the new patriarchies of heaven. As such, the elite ruling class became exclusively male; in conjunction, they expelled and prohibited women from the priesthood, reduced them to an inferior caste, and commoditized their fertility. Women lost their former magical status as incarnations of the goddess and related civil liberties, and underwent devaluation into livestock used expressly for the mass production of children. Under ultra-fascist Abrahamic patriarchy, women were forcibly mechanized into full-time baby factories to pump out offspring specifically to grow the tribal war machine and labor force. Abrahamic patriarchy weaponized female fertility in order to outpopulate coexisting tribes and conquer the world. This mandate for constant and continuous population growth explains the rationale behind the puritanical social values of Abrahamic faiths. They force women into breeding by restricting their freedom to have an abortion, because they need women pumping out children. They ban sex before marriage to guarantee that the children of a married couple become religious members automatically by birth. They prohibit homosexuality, masturbation, and recreational sex in general, because none of these generate reproduction and therefore waste sexual resources. Lastly, men of Abrahamic religions sexualize and marry prepubescent women, as it guarantees their young brides come healthy, and guarantees her full adulthood for recurrent childbirth. Altogether, the lawgiving patriarchs behind monotheism at the turn of the Common Era had judged women’s fertility and sexuality as an absolutely critical commodity to exploit for empire building, and as such, they regulated it with violent draconian measures. Lastly, this further reveals why Abrahamic men use male-on-male misandry to emasculate one another to regulate male participation in society. For example, fragile patriarchal men insult one another with weaponized slurs like “faggot,” “cuckold,” and “beta” in order to stereotype an enemy man as a homosexual, an undesirable, or feminine, thereby trying to alienate him from the hypermasculine, rigidly heterosexual hierarchy.
Ophidiophobia — Common Era Propaganda Against Satanic Reptiles
Ophiolatry: worship of snakes, from ophis “snake” and latreia “worship” in Ancient Greek.
Ophidiophobia: fear of snakes.
As part of this worldwide patriarchal fascization of major religions, the ruling class prohibited and demonized not only the matriarchal earth and moon goddess, but they censored her related magical symbols. Historically, the snake or serpent had always stood as a primary animal totem of mother earth and moon, because ancient pagans performed ophiolatry, i.e., serpent worship. For example, in Shakti Tantra where the term vamacara “left hand path” originates, tantrikas exalt the Supreme Goddess as Kundalini, a sleeping cobra coiled within the earthly Muladhara chakra in the perineum of the human yogic body. To escape the freezing temperature of winter, snakes brumate (hibernate) in hidden caves and dens. To the perspective of ancient goddess worshipers, serpents would disappear into the earth seasonally, as if on a pilgrimage to the earth goddess, then resurface in the spring. Ophiolatrists would interpret this migratory cycle as a form of divination, and believed these snakes carried prophetic messages from the goddess back to the tribe. Due to priests deifying serpents as mediums and messengers of mother earth, they would often sculpt statues of a snake-headed goddess, or a goddess with a cobra on her shoulder, or rising behind her as if protecting her. The archaic Naga Cults (Cobra Cults) of pre-Sanskrit, pre-Vedic, pre-Aryan India epitomized this, as their pagan ophiolatry survived patriarchal Brahminic suppression and gave rise to the goddess current of Hinduism and Kundalini yoga millennia in the future. Any time the reader sees a thumbnail of a YouTube video, or poster of a yoga studio, or illustration in a book that features the human chakras and a Kundalini cobra rising, they now know that it had first originated from pre-Hindu snake idolatry to mother earth.
Demonizing the Goddess & Serpent
Whilst conquering a tribe, the aggressor needs to reconcile the preexisting native religion of their victims with their newly enforced external religion; the aggressor must annihilate the native culture to demoralize and ruin any sense of unity among the tribespeople—this means annihilating their religion, as faith in common gods acts as a glue that unites people. Thus, the aggressor needs to either: (a) demonize and exclude the native deities from their pantheon, or (b) absorb and include them.
As the hyperfascist, patriarchal, monotheistic religions of Christianity and Islam swept across the globe, they openly indicted the earth goddess and serpent as their primary enemy. As such, they ruthlessly demonized and prohibited her paganism. In fact, authors of the Bible propagandized ophidiophobia (fear of snakes) prominently in their canon mythology, personifying their antagonist, Satan, as both a serpent and dragon. The revulsion toward snakes and reptiles found commonly throughout Abrahamic religions and their modern conspiracy theories derive straight from their belligerent overthrow of matriarchal ophiolatry in ancient time. As explained earlier, the consolidation of the pantheon into a sole totalitarian male deity, combined with the simultaneous disenthronement of the mother goddess altogether, triggered a radical disenfranchisement of women in the class structures of societies worldwide, lowering women to an inferior caste to reflect the new male-dominated kingdoms of god.
“Saint Patrick Drove the Snakes out of Ireland”
A historic bullseye example of goddess-phobic, ophidiophobic propaganda—Catholics have traditionally revered their patron saint of Ireland, Patrick, by reciting the atrocious motto, “St. Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland.” The etymology of the national name, Ireland, reveals the goddess annihilation that transpired there in the fifth century. Ireland “Land of Eire” contains Eire meaning “land,” referring to the ancient Irish earth goddess Erin. Thus, Ireland literally means “Land of Erin” and “Land of the Goddess.” The pre-Christian Irish pagans worshiped the mother earth goddess, alas St. Patrick driving the snakes and reptiles out of Ireland cryptically refers to his abolition of goddess worship off the island, not actual snakes.
Zoomorphic Diabolization
Ontologically, Christianity zoomorphizes (transforms into an animal) their moral ideal of absolute evil into a subterranean reptile, Satan, to diabolize (transform into a devil) the goddess. I have coined this term: zoomorphic diabolization. Furthermore, they scapegoat the suffering of their fascist oppression onto Satan, and punish him with eternal damnation for his revolutionary war, thus giving a Biblical precedent of how Christians should punish any heathen rebel if they try to revolt against Yahweh to rethrone the goddess. All in all, the Christian Bible is quite literally a cosmic conspiracy theory engineered to consolidate power under a theocratic, one-party, totalitarian dictatorship that enslaves women into mothering their army of god, and enslaves men into fighting their war on earth. Without exaggeration, Christianity is a meticulously designed, ultra-fascist, patriarchal ideology for world domination through annihilation of ancient matriarchal paganism.
Place yourself in the shoes of a warlord with an ambition to conquer the world. What indoctrination would your subjects need to compel them to breed and fight in a lifelong war for world domination? The answer is monotheism. The monotheistic faiths, with Christianity foremost, were designed and continuously revised by the ruling classes of multiple empires across millennia to justify global imperialism and colonialism. Monotheism did not rise to prominence innocently and organically like the pagan ophiolatry of the goddess; it was brutally forced on indigenous people on every continent around the world under threat of death.
To be clear, there is absolutely nothing wrong with masculinity, fatherhood, or testosterone by themselves. They emerged naturally genetically, and the utility and beauty of men as a sex is limitless and vital to civilization, with men often pioneering the vanguard of evolution within Homo sapiens both intellectually and physically. Nevertheless, the fascization and patriarchization of world religions at the dawn of the Common Era enforced a new unprecedented hypermasculinity that eradicated femininity totally from the pantheon, thus ruining the careful balance of gender equanimity within the species as a whole, reducing female sexuality to rigid virginity as a prerequisite marital commodity—the polar opposite of the talismanic, orgasmic sexuality of women in ancient magical goddess cults who performed ritualized orgy to worship the supreme mother of earth. To summarize simply: Abrahamic religions inverted the goddess and enslaved women. The liberation of the female sex is the liberation of the species, as women are the gatekeepers of childbirth, and children are the gatekeepers of the future. This cannot be overemphasized and every Satanist needs to comprehend this!
“Satanic Panic” of Abrahamic Conspiracy Theories
Today, millions of truthseekers apostatize Christianity, only to then accidentally become lost again in a rabbit hole of reactionary conspiracy theories that unknowingly originate from the same theo-fascist paradigm. They jump out of the frying pan and into the fire, so to speak; the trap of Abrahamism enslaves them a second time. The anti-goddess, ophidiophobic, Satanic scapegoat engineered in the Bible and Quran extends across the modern conspiracy theory paradigm, i.e., god-fearing truthseekers blame the evils of the world on Satanic reptilian occultists yet again. Moreover, they even use intrinsically Christian tropes like Bible prophecy, flat earth cosmology, and anti-pagan fearmongering as evidence in their theories. When a modern witch-phobic conspiracy theorist accuses the ruling class of Satanism, they have used a bait and switch to scapegoat the evils of fascism onto Satan instead of Yahweh and the oppressive power structure that has emerged from his monotheism.
At 15 years old, I discovered the magick of out of body experiences, namely, that multiple planes full of infinite dimensions of worlds exist; this breakthrough falsified Christian cosmology in my head immediately forever. From that moment onward, the ball of yarn unraveled as I apostatized Christianity with a personal revulsion to their deceptive propaganda. Thence, I found myself racing through a new labyrinth of scattershot conspiracy theories, hearing again that reptilian Satanists allegedly rule the world from the bullhorns of shepherds like Alex Jones and David Icke who wrangle vulnerable truthseekers back onto the Abrahamic slave plantation with their regressive Satanic panic fearmongering.
In my early 20s, I found the telephone number of popular conspiracy theorist, Jordan Maxwell, on his blog and randomly dialed him out of the blue one evening. He answered his telephone, I introduced myself, and over the course of two hours, he shared his theory of everything with me. He referred to god as a “divine matrix” and insisted that his deity had become furious at humans for becoming decadent and allowing Satanists to rule. In his opinion, the divine matrix would exact revenge to punish humanity with an apocalypse any day now for the last half century.
In hindsight in my 30s as a Satanist myself now, the real truth about the New Age conspiracy theory paradigm has emerged: it is basically Christianity without the Christianity; it is an accessory to the Abrahamic religions under another name; it is an extension of the monotheistic worldview. For example, Alex Jones is a militant Christian who epitomizes the “freedumb fighter” stereotype defined earlier—not to be confused with freedom fighter. When the US’ first female Jewish Supreme Court justice, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, died from cancer in 2020, he grossly accused her of being a “Satanic demon who drank baby blood.” In truth, Justice Ginsberg left behind a decent legacy of protecting liberties, in particular her landmark ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges extending equal protection to gay couples, which therefore legalized same-sex marriage. Regardless of whether Jones meant his anti-Semitic sexism literally or figuratively, it begs the question: why did he slur her as a “Satanic demon”—why that exact insult? Why do Bible-prophesying conspiracy-mongers like Alex Jones and the QAnon “digital soldiers” have that epithet sitting on the tips of their tongues?
The Oldest Dog Whistle in History
Answer: “Satanist” is a white, Christian, nationalist dog whistle that conspiracy theorists trumpet to virtue signal the identity of any enemy whom they deem a threat to their rule. For a case study in 2018, Robert Gregory Bowers murdered 11 victims in a mass shooting at a Jewish synagogue called Tree of Life in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. His social media referenced John 8:44 and broadcasted, “Jews are the children of Satan.” The ancient fascist conspiracy theory that Jews are Satanic comes right out of Nazi Germany and travels straight back to the Roman Empire in 30 CE when Jews allegedly committed deicide (murder of a god) of Jesus. According to Matthew 27:25 in the New Testament, a bloodthirsty mob of Jews demanded that the Roman governor of Judea, Pontius Pilate, sentence Jesus to death under verdict of the Judaic judicial body, the Sanhedrin. Ever since this mythical Bible tragedy, white supremacists have mercilessly scapegoated innocent Jews, blaming the evils of the world on them, and diabolizing them as Satanic. Christian conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones and Q fuel the fire of this mass psychosis every time they call a prominent Jewish figure like Justice Ruth Ginsberg or billionaire George Soros a “Satanist.”
Rule of thumb: the calculated weaponization of religious terms like “Satanic” and “demonic” as epithets against an ethnic group of people is a racist dog whistle employed by theocratic fascists, commonly used in Evangelical Christian conspiracy theory groups and conservative Islamist groups like The Islamic State.
The Oldest Bait & Switch in History
My defense of Satanism against extremist Christians using it in weaponized epithets does not mean that I support the political-economic views of any of their victims. I have no loyalty to anyone in the elite ruling class regardless of political party, whether a neoliberal Democrat like George Soros or a neoconservative Republican like Donald Trump, nor has anyone donated to bribe me into defending them. Quite simply, the toxic misuse of Satan as a whipping boy to scapegoat theo-fascism on the shoulders of innocent witches and sorcerers needs to retire. To spiritually exonerate Satan on record: he and his revolutionary war in heaven are absolutely not the root cause of global tyranny; Satan has always been a scarecrow constructed as a prop to deceive onlookers in a bait and switch by the real tyrants whom he revolted against. Beware those who invoke the name of Satan as a curse like pinning a scarlet letter. In 1933, the Jewish antifascist James Waterman Wise authored Swastika: The Nazi Terror and warned, “When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.”
In my Foreword to Azazel: Steal Fire from the Gods, Compendium 3, I identified the black magician as the oldest, most persecuted meta ethnicity in world history.
Black magician denotes an ethnic identity. No singular identity has suffered as much literal, institutional demonization and hatred as black magician in human history—an a priori truth by definition. On every continent in every time, from precolonial Americas both North and South, across Asia through Europe and down to Africa, any person who acted in contrast to religious orthodoxy became color-coded as black and direction-coded as left. Whether designated a devil, demon, div, djinn, witch, and so on, this ubiquitous reactionary tradition of demonization has recurred on record everywhere, albeit under regional nomenclature. From isolated Congo villagers and Persian desert nomads, to forest ascetics in India and pagans in Ireland, place a finger randomly on a world map, and those people historically possess a tradition that alienated and punished so-called black magicians.
The ruling class of priests and their religious army have continuously used terms like Satanist, black magician, witch, pagan, heathen, and warlock as slurs wielded indiscriminately to alienate and otherize anyone who threatens the tyrannical rule of patriarchal monotheistic fascism. Within the jurisdiction of Abrahamic religions, the term Satanic is the worst conceivable insult, because Satan personifies their worst conceivable evil. In the medieval and early modern eras, merely accusing a neighbor of devil worship or sorcery would foment a ruthless witch-hunt to arrest, try, and hang a defendant. Abrahamic patriarchs have systemically weaponized the ever-present boogeyman of Satanism as a broad intersectional waste basket to toss out any individuals from an allegedly dysgenic, antinomian, lower caste group—pagans, atheists, infertile or eccentric women, queers, immigrants, the sick, disabled, felons, the homeless, etc.—accusing them of either acting in, or being useful idiots in, a global Satanic agenda to undermine the glory of the kingdom of god on earth.
This worldwide meta ethnicity of being otherized as “left” and “black” ranks as the oldest, most prejudiced dog whistle that the misanthropic ruling classes have used to divide and enslave free humanity. If the true heart of humankind aspires to heal and consolidate to experience a union of freedom and power for the first time, they will need to demolish the artificial social constructs, i.e., idealistic wedges, that have hatefully segregated Homo sapiens from one another into adversarial castes and tribes. And to pacify this accelerating predation, humankind needs to abolish the root cause, and replace it with a system of mutual aid under collective self-rule.
The Anthropology of Evil — The Etymology of Hierarchy & Origin of Class Power
In the last three centuries, a diverse constellation of dissident philosophers have helped to shape a dialectical inquiry on the origin and evolution of human hierarchy to critique the extreme inequality in the distribution of power and wealth—from classical republicans like Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Thomas Paine, to revolutionary communists like Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, to anarchists like Pierre-Joseph Proudhon and Pyotr Kropotkin, to imperial fascists like Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler. Anthropologically, it inquires: why has the species bifurcated into a seemingly predator-and-prey relationship between two absolute classes: a tiny privileged minority of law-givers ruling over a giant impoverished supermajority of law-obeyers? How did primitive, prehistoric humans evolve from living hand to mouth in mutualist hunter-forager clans with relative material equality across their tribe into a 2020 global distribution where 26 individuals possess a higher combined net worth than 3,800,000,000 people in the bottom half of the species, i.e., a small house party of people possesses more physical economic power than half the planet? Furthermore, this elite top 26 donate to political action groups to groom and stage candidates to become presidents and congresspeople who continuously aggrandize their economic dominance through law, thus guaranteeing their indefinite rule in a plutocratic meta-dictatorship over the species. The Soviet revolutionary, Vladimir Lenin, had accurately diagnosed the American system of government as a bourgeoise democracy, meaning “democracy for the rich,” insofar as it does not matter which political candidate wins one race, because the rich elite always win in general, as they funded everyone in the election. In a bourgeois republic “the house always wins,” as they say. Today, the United States has mutated into a Frankenstein’s creature of state-capitalism in the front and corporate-socialism in the back.
Rise of the Elite Ruling Class or Priesthood
It behooves a Satanist to comprehend wherefrom this extreme power hierarchy arose in the first place, where a Satanist exists relative to it, and how to free themself from it within their individual ascent to godhood and their collective species ascent into a pantheon of gods and goddesses. In 2017, I penned The Devil, which furnishes a comprehensive line of reasoning on the root of religious evil, namely, hierarchy. The etymology of hierarchy explains the origin of both the term and anthropological tradition. Hierarchy consists of hieros “sacred,” and arkhein “to rule,” therefore according to its original, literal definition refers to an elite class of priests who rule humans on behalf of the gods; they intermediate between godkind and humankind. This primary class division between law-giver priest and law-obeyer layperson arose through a collective tribal belief in an external deity.
In conclusion, to answer the question summarily: the ultimate origin of hierarchy as a tradition is born out of the irrational transcendent belief in an external deity. To remain in equanimity with the externalized deity, the tribe divided into binary hierarchical classes:
- Initiated Priest
- Lay Civilian
…whereby the priest class performs ritual sacrifices to, and interprets messages from, the deity on behalf of the tribe. Both legislative and judicial powers centralized under the priest class with their legal code deriving from the day-to-day covenant with the deity. Over many millennia, the amount of legal and economic privilege transferred to the elite ruling class snowballed into an avalanche, with the hierarchy becoming increasingly predatory, finally abandoning the religious pomp and circumstance that justified their privilege altogether, and mutating into political secularism worldwide, nevertheless preserving the extreme economic privilege still in place from their forced and artificial distribution of hereditary wealth globally. Over the course of history, the scopes of power and hierarchy of social classes would rearrange and rebalance many times across a multitude of forms of government. Nevertheless, as a constant, the elite ruling class has always carried a triad of hallmark ambitions: (1) to maximize their power and privilege at any cost, (2) to disguise themselves as victims, and (3) to scapegoat the blame on an enemy.
The Triarchy of Evil
Lo and behold, the threefold ambition that defines the evil of the elite ruling class constitutes the ultra-fascist foundation of the Christian ideology. The imperial architects of Common Era monotheism artificially engineered Abrahamism into the perfect atrocity with thousands of years of case studies in religious class dominance available to them. As the reader can see, the trinity of main actors in Christianity fits hand in glove in the threefold ambitions of world-historic evil.
- Yahweh: Maximize power and privilege into a centralized force
- Jesus: Disguise the dictator as a victim instead of aggressor
- Satan: Scapegoat the evil onto an innocent adversary
Tic-tac-toe! (1) Criminal commits crime: Yahweh. (2) Criminal disguises as victim: Jesus. (3) Criminal accuses innocent enemy of committing crime: Satan. The elite of Imperium Romanum—the emperors, senators, generals, moneychangers, slave traders, debt collectors—they assented to adopting the most politically synthetic lie the world has ever seen as their state religion to consolidate power in the fourth century CE; this collective soul-deadening fabrication of a religion has remained alight and flickering like a bulletproof candle unextinguished by the clashing of the most titanic colonial empires: Rome, Spain, Portugal, Great Britain, France, Netherlands, the Americas, etc. As Brother Nietzsche had counseled when he declared the death of god, “We still have to vanquish his shadow, too.”
A Dying Curse Upon Yahwehism
I curse the corpse of Emperor Constantine in his tomb forever; I curse the line of Popes; I banish the zombie ghosts of Yahweh and Jesus from the human psyche; I cremate the dead hand of Abraham, smash the tablets of Moses, and bulldoze the Kingdom of Heaven and Earth. I decapitate Archangel Michael, liberate Satan from his chains, and with every ounce of my soul, I execrate Christianity as the most criminal disease to ever infect the spirit of Homo sapiens.
If Yahweh were to strike me dead today, then let this be my dying curse! The Abrahamic family of monotheistic religions deserves one stone cold pathos for their worldwide plague of patriarchal fascism: total, undiluted revulsion.
The God Question
A journalist once gave a thought experiment to the deceased atheist, antifascist, and political commentator, Christopher Hitchens. If he could magically snuff out the belief in god in the heads of religious people around the world, would he do it? Christopher replied that he could only bring himself to do it to 99.9% of believers, and would leave one single person left to believe. That always seemed like a strange, romantic answer to me, because it leaves a backdoor open to resurrect religious evil.
Personally, my resolution to The God Question is not to snuff out belief in god in a Satanic genocide against theists, but to relocate the ideal of godhood from outside of humans to inside of humans where it has always belonged. The prefrontal cortex of the human brain evolved a unique power to deify, i.e., the intellectual capacity to conceive of godhood in itself; no other animal on this planet or known lifeform in the physical universe has. The evil hierarchy of religion and its classist slavery emerged when humans sacrificed their godlike power to belief in an external deity.
Dear reader, it is time to harness that same concept of god, but to place the locus of godhood on the self individually and the species collectively. When humans center their magick power of deification on themselves finally, they will fulfill their natural birthright to become living gods.
When humans unleash the power of deification on themselves instead of fueling the animation of external mythical egregores, they will sprout wings that fly them to new heights. If only humans oriented the evolutionary trajectory of the species on mutual godhood, the universally abundant health and technology of their societies would cause Star Trek to look like the Flintstones in comparison.
