Senator Marco Rubio is launching a scathing critique against what he terms “soulless global bureaucrats” who, he alleges, are weaponizing the “rules-based international order” to subvert American interests and foreign policy, arguing that the “spirit of Marx” has insidiously outlived Soviet communism. In a speech set to be delivered, Rubio intends to expose how international institutions, once championed by the U.S., have been perverted into instruments advancing the agendas of a global elite who prioritize their own interests over democratic principles, citing instances where “international law” is manipulated under the guise of universal values and where “democracy” is defended only until election results challenge their objectives. He asserts that even though Soviet communism was defeated, its ideological successor, Marxism, persists in new forms, aiming to erode national sovereignty by subordinating it to a global consensus and seeking to abolish distinctions not just between people, but between nations themselves. Rubio plans to target bodies like the International Criminal Court, which he labels an “unelected world tribunal,” accusing them of using law as a political cudgel rather than a tool for justice, thereby attempting to hamstring America and allow unelected foreign judges and bureaucrats to override decisions rightfully belonging to the American people. He is poised to defend the administration’s sanctions against the ICC, famously declaring that if the court attempts to enforce its decrees against Americans, the U.S. response will be akin to Pompey’s retort to those quoting laws amidst armed conflict: “Stop quoting laws to men with swords.” Furthermore, Rubio will confront the narrative of America being built on “stolen land,” asserting that such views undermine the nation’s very right to exist and instead championing the U.S. as a nation defined by “irrepressible ambition.” This stark denunciation comes amidst broader concerns raised by lawmakers and investigators about a significant network of U.S. nonprofits, funded by Shanghai-based tycoon Neville Roy Singham, which have been channeling millions towards organizations promoting Cuba solidarity, opposing U.S. sanctions on Iran, criticizing NATO expansion, and advocating for Chinese Communist Party narratives, all framed as “resistance” to U.S. influence. Singham’s own pronouncements, advocating for a “new world order” aligned with Chinese President Xi Jinping’s vision and decrying the existing international system as built on a “lie,” directly mirror the anti-American sentiment propagated by these funded groups, whose activities, from promoting socialist literature and revolutionary theory to organizing protests against U.S. policy and communist regimes, are increasingly being traced back to a sophisticated apparatus that keeps the “spirit of Marx” alive and active within America’s nonprofit sector.
