Author Eric Metaxas contends that the contemporary American Left has adopted a Marxist ideology he describes as "satanic communism." Metaxas, in a discussion with Miranda Devine, asserted that the nation's founding fathers would be critical of this ideological shift.
Metaxas's new book, titled “Revolution,” explores the historical narratives of heroism during the American Revolution. He argues that the principles upon which the United States was founded are rooted in Judeo-Christian values, which he believes are now being undermined by current political trends. The author suggests that the embrace of Marxist tenets by segments of the Left represents a departure from these foundational values.
