The only thing people read is his manifesto, which was written to be a short flier handout thing to workers. <BR/>If you read some of Marx's other longer works, it becomes clear he was just an economist. <BR/><BR/>And he was right. The capitalism that was around when he was alive is dead. It collapsed, just like he predicted.The Lazy Iguanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12826083852416577162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11687945.post-30942384516189299492007-06-27T06:51:00.000-04:002007-06-27T06:51:00.000-04:00Lazy, you've got good points, indeed.

But... you are correct - there are still many businesses masquerading as churches that use religion as a way to manipulate. And, as Karl Marx once said (one of the only things he ever got right, IMHO)... "Religion is the opiate of the masses."Saur♥Krauthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01160101729455178399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11687945.post-16486990720589338562007-06-26T16:22:00.000-04:002007-06-26T16:22:00.000-04:00Republicans have always hated the EPA. All them no...Republicans have always hated the EPA. All them no good science type people trying to tell us we can not just dump dioxins into lakes and rivers! Don't they know that is the cheapest way to get rid of that stuff? <BR/><BR/>And are you really shocked that Bush would appoint a crony with no qualifications but who would do whatever he OR President Cheney told them to do? Really, this is not very shocking. <BR/><BR/>The evangelicals have hijacked the party. AND the big mega churches ARE big business! Think of all the loot they rake in. Lets see here, 15,000 member church, everyone gives $10 a week, and it is all tax free! Nice. How do I start one of these churches? I would only skim 10% off the top. I could live very well on $15,000 a week! But I could live even better skimming 25% off the top! And like a king if I skim 50% off the top!!!<BR/><BR/>There has not been a fight over the power because big business would rather the evangelicals be out there shilling for the party. There are more people who associate themselves with a religion than there are white pasty old farts with millions of dollars. So the evangelicals get to get all hysterical about fags and who marries who, while the business end gets to slip in tax cuts for them, and whatever else they want. Keep the non issues alive so that the masses still have a "reason" to vote Republican and you keep your majority!The Lazy Iguanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12826083852416577162noreply@blogger.com
