Leader resigns. New leader comes in and says he hears the people and is reducing immigration down significantly with no more refugees allowed in. Everyone cheers. Then, nothing changes and he just lied. Rinse, repeat. Maybe say they'll lower gas taxes or something to throw them a bone.

Nothing changes until people die.
 
This video, titled "Spiritual Warfare and Communism - Part II," features Fr. Chad Ripperger drawing extensive parallels between communist ideologies/tactics and the psychological behaviors of demons. He argues that both seek ultimate control over humanity through manipulation, destruction of culture, and emotional instability.

Here is a summary of the key comparisons made in the video:

Control Through Idealism and False Promises​

  • False Idealism: Fr. Ripperger claims that Communists, like demons, appeal to people's idealism and optimism (e.g., promising a utopia without private property or ending climate change) to gain power.
  • The "Opium" of the Masses: Contrary to Marx's claim about religion, Fr. Ripperger argues that communism is the true opium of the masses. It feeds people elation to deaden their senses, but ultimately leaves them with nothing.
  • Standard of Living: He asserts that communist regulations (like banning gas stoves) are never actually about the environment or the common good. Instead, their true goal is to reduce the citizenry's standard of living, making people weak and easier to subjugate—exactly how demons oppress individuals to gain control.

Hypocrisy, Malice, and Betrayal​

  • Deflecting Criticism: When a communist's hypocrisy is pointed out, rather than reflecting on their flaws, they attack the messenger to divert attention. Demons do the exact same thing during an exorcism when confronted with their lies.
  • Betrayal of Supporters: Just as higher demons despise lower demons and will betray those they possess when it suits them, communist leaders historically wipe out the "middle tier" of their own supporters once they gain power to eliminate any threats to their regime.

The Destruction of Culture and Masculinity​

  • Tearing Down Institutions: Demons seek to destroy culture because a strong, beautiful culture helps people remain virtuous. Similarly, communism tears down monuments, revises history, and replaces cultural beauty with "gray, ugly substitutes" to cause historical amnesia.
  • Attacking True Masculinity: Fr. Ripperger states that true masculinity (which is rational, emotionally balanced, and protective) is derived from God the Father. Demons hate it, and Communists attack it (often using feminism) because a culture without strong men is easier to control and subjugate.

Psychological Manipulation and Control​

  • Stunted Emotional Growth: Just as demons often behave like immature children during sessions, Fr. Ripperger argues that many Communists are emotionally stunted (often at the age they gave themselves over to the "elation" of communist ideals) and will throw tantrums or pout when they don't get their way.
  • Gaslighting and Sophistry: Communists use mental reservation (telling half-truths) and sophistry (making a weak argument seem strong) to confuse and dumb down the populace.
  • Infiltration over Persuasion: Because communism ultimately ruins societies, it cannot rely on long-term persuasion. Instead, like demons, Communists must infiltrate institutions quietly, take over the flow of information (using "mental prostitutes" in the media), and punish anyone who engages in independent thought.
Ultimately, Fr. Ripperger concludes that because demons rejected God and lost everything except their desire for power, any human governmental system derived from Hell would look exactly like communism—rooted in mass death, the suppression of true religion, and the worship of the State.
