From Madrid to Missoula: When Marxist Chaos Meets Faith and Family

Spain in the 1930s—a cautionary tale wrapped in tapas and gunpowder. The cities were full of Godless and untamed Marxist philosophy, and crazy chaos masquerading as culture. Madrid, Barcelona—urban playgrounds of the left—buzzed with increasingly radical and violent thinking. Churches were vandalized or compromised, over 6,000 Catholic Priests were executed, and many Nuns were raped in a period known as the “Red Terror”. 

Sacredness was replaced with political manifestos, while the populace strutted about rioting, and embracing a bizarre sexual freedom that shocked the countryside: casual liaisons of all types, a despising of marriage and family, sexual experimentation and practices that would make your grandparents clutch their pearls. It was, in short, a cocktail of ideology and hedonism, shaken violently with disdain for any traditional values.

Meanwhile, the rural folk—hardworking, devout, and suspicious of anyone who thought that personal indulgence, sloth and politics were more important than plowing the fields—looked on in horror. The conservatives rallied under the banners of faith, family, and a return to order. They offered a simple message: “Stop the madness before the cities destroy everything and kill us all.”

Fast-forward to 2025—or whatever version of “modern chaos” you’re living in. U.S. cities like New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and even Missoula, Montana are the 21st-century equivalents of 1930s Madrid. Radical socialist, neo-communist politics dominate local governments. Conservative churches are either ignored, increasingly irrelevant, or publicly shamed as dangerous outdated institutions. Those willing to speak out risk being shot dead, whether Charlie Kirk or Donald Trump. Gender norms are fluid, sexual independence is not only celebrated, but aggressively taught in schools, and traditional family structures are routinely lampooned and ridiculed on social media. The urban elite, intoxicated with their moral and intellectual superiority, act as if reality itself bends to their whims—until it doesn’t.

Meanwhile, the rural and suburban Americans across the country, including Montana, quietly remain loyal to their traditions, guns, and Bibles, and watch as their nation’s culture is shredded in real-time. The sense of alienation is thick, the cultural divide deep, and just like in Spain, the cities’ unchecked experiments with society, morality, and governance risk pushing the country to a breaking point. Civil war in Spain wasn’t an accident; it was the inevitable clash between urban Marxist radicalism and rural Christian conservatism, a conflict fueled by ideology, disdain, and moral outrage.

If U.S. urban areas continue to embrace ever-wilder social experiments—sexual liberation to its extremes, ideological purity tests, untamed fiscal policies, and a hard contempt for tradition—the path is eerily similar. The cities are living in a bubble, convinced that their supposed moral and intellectual sophistication can replace stability and truth. But history is not impressed by Marxism and Communism.  It has a 100% failure rate everywhere it has been tried. Spain teaches us this: when one side seeks to remake the world while the other clings to the true foundations, that friction becomes fire.

So yes, the United States today is, in many ways, on that same spiraling trajectory. Urban liberalism madness is seductive and intoxicating to those without a solid foundation, which is Divine Truth and anchoring, and if left unchecked, is very combustible. Rural and traditional Americans sense this. The recent Charlie Kirk murder has only solidified this thinking. And if history is any guide, the longer the cities and the liberals anywhere insist on rewriting the rules while ignoring the country at large, the closer we get to a Spanish-style reckoning.

The sardonic truth? Marxist cities can tweet all they want about inclusivity, spending recklessly and sexual liberation, but when the rural heartland decides the experiment has gone too far, there’s no hashtag to fix that. Spain is a warning, and the U.S. liberal urban elite seem hell-bent on treating it as just a historical, forgotten footnote.
