Isn’t Unificationism another failed utopia?

The appealing term of "Unification" is the hopeful promise that a better world is possible. We certainly all want to efficiently contribute to such a beneficial improvement. Furthermore I am pretty sure all Unificationists can agree with Karl Marx’s remark: “Until now philosophy has only been describing the world but now is the time to change it”.

Communism however after 72 years of application of its ambitious program had to acknowledge its failure to realize the prophesized ideal society. Communist theoreticians vainly counted on a spontaneous support of an abstract enlightened proletariat who never showed up. In spite of that reality there are still today a handful of hardcore communist believers who can’t admit this failure and the need to question the validity of their ideology.

Is Unificationism itself after 68 years of existence in a better position and truly able to claim the substantial fulfillment of its prophesied utopia? Haven’t Unificationists proved exceedingly confident to be God’s modern day champions whom the entire cosmic forces were unconditionally attending? Haven’t we believed we had God’s total approval and unreserved support for all the “providential” Unificationist projects that would unstoppably succeed in an amazing short span? "Unfortunately", the vainly expected cosmic Pentecost and unconditional support from the spirit world hasn’t shown up yet.

That could explain why quite a few people came to consider that the promised upcoming blissful kingdom of God on earth had turned out to be just another cruel messianic delusion.

Isn’t then the "revealed" UM rhetoric following the same trend than the Marxist fallacious theory?

Unificationism might appear today as just another intellectual human construct. Therefore faithful talented unificationists  remain presently cornered in cleverly commenting worldly issues through their deeply ingrained absolute ideology and its inherent alternative flavor of utopian fantasy...

Their so-called enlightened preaching however doesn't have in any way the slightest visible impact on society. Even their attempts to bribe politicians and prominent leaders for getting delusional lip service support, as it has been exposed in Japan, can't convincingly cover such a failure …

As if over the years the UM narrative had somehow just been an impressively stimulating mantra and/or a comforting self-satisfactory ideology for its followers. However, it is undeniable that Unificationists have genuinely invested the greater part of their life in courageously trying to realize what they understood as being God’s most cherished dream.

Meanwhile, haven't these awesome committed souls sadly made the unnoticed economy of having a real check and balance of their undisputable outstanding efforts and countless consented sacrifices?

Is there really not another way to succeed at influencing society than by counting the number of Blessed couples? Aren’t we putting the cart before the horse and counting our chickens before they are hatched… and UM members before they know anything about the redeeming role of the True Family?

Instead of lastingly focusing and building on already existing common grounds and uplifting shared values, the inherent Unificationist proselytizing and unconfessed objective to convert others obviously generates ambiguous unbalanced relationships. These can’t actually last much longer than the period of the seductive honeymoon when only sweet half-truths are carefully mentioned to hide untold ultimate objectives of subjugating and controlling others -supposedly for their own good-. 

Unavoidably that can only bring illusory symbolic victories which can hardly dissimulate a stubborn and impressive  denial of reality.

One can understand that loyal Unificationists try to make sense of the absolute Divine Principle teaching and its claim to be the ultimate revealed interpretation of ancient biblical mythology. And since they have totally identified with this hard to sell and highly speculative narrative, they can't simply keep it for themselves, as just a respectable personal belief.

Therefore their inherent presumption to hold the monopoly of God's vision, and its consequently required permanent proselytism can't but be seen by outsiders as a rather out of place and annoying messianic ideology. Like a cumbersome trump card which alas doesn’t automatically lead to the actual desired success…

The way toward God’s utopia of Unification will definitely be a long road. No one will ever detain the monopoly of its process.

But inspiring examples do exist everywhere and deserve to be acknowledged. Each and every one is invited to be part of this leading team and cooperate with all other people of good will in a sphere of mutual appreciation, encouragement and love where God will freely shower His abundant blessings on all His children.
