It believes that man is incapable of good judgment, and that it will take a total collapse of society followed by generations under totalitarian brainwashing to rid the world of innovation, individuality, and classes. The first brick to topple is causing a world wide collapse of economy followed by a revolution of the workers who will destroy any sign of the former world. One of those signs according to Marx himself, was religion.
You can find it all in the Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Frederik Engels.

The metaphysical worldview of Marxism is state atheism. Last century, Marxists murdered (mostly through democide but also genocides) close to about a 150 million people while severely persecuting hundreds of millions more over a good part of the world with religious people singled out and vigorously pursed simply for being religious.

There is also Christian communism (e.g. a religious communist form) focused not on state atheism as Marxism is but rather on the teachings of Christ.

Please explain, to me in the least, what 'a godly normative morality' means to you.
A good politician anywhere on earth:
has to belong to a certain group, side or camp.
has to follow a certain law that defines and organizes his group , side or camp.
has to fight, in a way or another, any enemies who may threaten the people he presents.
cannot love his enemies (Matthew 5:44) without risking being accused of treason.
I mean what you refer to as "a godly normative morality" is surely not the one revealed by Jesus Christ.
What do you think? Perhaps I missed things that you didn't.
Thank you.

It's not difficult to explain. In fact, it's intuitive. God's morality is an extension of His character. Since God is unchanging (e.g. immutability), and God and His morality are real: God's morality is normative (e.g. unchanging).
Jesus Christ's morality, as God, is God's normative morality. A godly normative morality is God's normative morality and when it is displayed by people, they are displaying God's normative morality.
Though no person is perfect you are incorrect to argue that it is impossible for a politician to display God's normative morality in their life because they have political affiliations. Some have and some do.
Note: The objectivity of truth that Christianity embraces is based on the premise that meaning is objective. This objectivity in meaning is rejected by much of contemporary linguistics; the prevailing conventionalist theory of meaning is a form of semantical relativism.
However, in addition to being an overreaction to platonic essentialism, conventionalism is self-defeating, for the very theory of conventionalism that "all meaning is relative" is itself a nonrelative statement. "All meaning is relative" is a meaningful statement intended to apply to all meaningful statements; it is a nonconventional statement claiming that all statements are conventional.
As such, it self-destructs, for in the very process of expressing itself it implies a theory of meaning that is contrary to the one it claims is true of all meaningful statements. The usages of symbols and words do change, but the meaning properly expressed by them does not.

“My kingdom is no part of this world,” Jesus said to the Roman ruler Pontius Pilate. (John 18:36) God’s Kingdom under Christ will not rule through human agencies. Jesus repeatedly referred to the Kingdom of God as “the kingdom of the heavens.” (Matthew 4:17; 5:3, 10, 19, 20) God’s Kingdom, therefore, is a heavenly government. True Christians are not intimidated or fearful about any human politician or rulers. We have our orders from the Christ. He has revealed the strategy for the battle. God has always been and will always be in control. Christians need not be afraid of what men say or do. (Heb. 13:5,6) We keep championing the “Sovereignty of God”!!

Obama’s Economy: Wall Street Thrives, Main Street Dies | FrontPage Magazine
The man at the center of the storm has blown a giant hole in the notion that the Obama administration is looking out for middle class Americans. “Andrew Huszar: Confessions of a Quantitative Easer,” is piece written for the Wall Street Journal by Huszar himself, revealing that he was the person responsible “for executing the centerpiece program of the Fed’s first plunge into the bond-buying experiment known as quantitative easing.”
Four years later, the scales have fallen from his eyes. “The central bank continues to spin QE as a tool for helping Main Street,” Huszar writes. “But I’ve come to recognize the program for what it really is: the greatest backdoor Wall Street bailout of all time.”

Well CRC, I had never seen such a translation before as "no part of." It does call attention that one may interpret the of (the preposition ek, literally out of) in "My kingdom is not of this world."
I find it remarkable how often this saying seems quoted and out of context. And also it seem very remarkable how the word now is left out of the saying, though the Lord Jesus added it in by way of explanation.
But now my kingdom is not from here.
He will rule the world, and with a rod of iron, not a wet noodle.
Do you have some scripture to prove that Christ will not rule through human agencies?

The Obama administration signals that it wants to use the FEC as a weapon against the conservative media while ensuring the liberal media continues unhindered. Obviously, this is grossly unconstitutional a blatant violation of the first amendment.
FEC chair warns that conservative media like Drudge Report and Sean Hannity face regulation --- like PACs | WashingtonExaminer.com
Rory Cooper (communications director for the House Majority Leader) stated that, as a result, Congress would investigate any bureaucratic attempts by the Obama administration to “try and intimidate and silence their critics using the bureaucratic mechanisms of the federal government.”
Cooper stated that such attempts were a “gross and abusive violation of their power and the public trust,” adding, “Congress will continue to investigate these abuses.”
Cooper’s comments came on the heels of a report from the Washington Examiner on Wednesday that leftists in the Federal Elections Commission were interested in cracking down on media figures like Sean Hannity and Matt Drudge.
Fortunately, the chairman of the Federal Election Commission bucked the Obama administration stating, "Outlets are free to pick favored candidates in elections if they are covered by the FEC exemptions."
This is a good sign that the Obama Administration's desire to violate the first amendment of the Constitution of the United States and use the FEC as a weapon against conservative media and an enabler of liberal media is prevented from occurring.

Lol technically he's not a traitor to the State unless he provides material support to our enemies or wages war against the State (and even this has been flubbed with recently.)
Heh I myself favor a sorta state styled after the era of Judges, no kings, no bullcrap democracy, just Moral Anarchism, lol, but alas that shall never happen in America.
Investigating government forms is pretty intriguing though. You Ausies have an interesting sort of puppet democracy/monarchy. Technically the monarch of England is your Head of State and thus holds the supreme power of your land, appointing a viceroy (called Governor General) to carry out Her Majesty's wishes.
Not that Queen Liz II is a tyrant or nothing, her rule is very liberal and ntoeworthy that she allows great autonomy for the Commonwealth realms. Heh I'd take Queen Liz over some of the politicians we have in America of both parties anyday.
