To Hell With Karl Marx: New Book, Film Out Soon
Filmmaker Robert Orlando connects the dots in today’s struggle between traditionalism and communism
How does Robert Orlando follow his books and films about 2020, war, and Cold War? By exploring hell, of course, and the bizarre dreams of Karl Marx still messing with so many to this day.
Few know that Marx, the founding father of communism, based his seminal Das Capital on Dante’s Inferno, considered by theologians to be the best portrait and explanation of the dark fires of hell itself.
In other words, Orlando shows, Marx wasn’t just writing about economic or political history but was trying to recast Dante’s Inferno as capitalism.
In To Hell With Karl Marx: The American Exorcism, author and film director Robert Orlando returns to the intersection of history, politics, theology, current affairs, and the search for “self,” taking a personal journey looking at how we got back here.
Just two years ago, Orlando was collaborating with historian/political scientist Paul Kengor, exploring the amazingly fruitful partnership between Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II that crushed communism throughout the West. Or did they?
