Inspired from youth by Albert Camus' sense of the Absurd, I try to be a voice for REASON in the growing darkness and moral insanity of global capitalism .

38 Quotes That Question Everything About Religion [ The militant atheist Karl Marx got right the LOGIC of capitalism ]
The militant atheist Karl Marx at least had a truly HUMANIST compassion for the human race . How many quotes from the" Communist Manifesto " and Marx's masterpiece " DAS KAPITAL " will make you question all the " feel good " propaganda for CAPITALISM ?
Unlike our New Atheist Cult evangelists Karl Marx applied the " dialectical LOGIC " of Hegel to human history , and to explaining how the capitalist profit system was based on the systemic exploitation and oppression of the working class majority in all advanced nations.
Of course , Karl Marx understood that the masses needed the " opium " of religion to cope with this hell on earth .
As a long time independent democratic socialist ( and pre-Vatican II type Catholic) I think the politics of Marxism degenerated into dogmatic fanaticism . But he got right the LOGIC of capitalism and the misery it brings to the masses.
For several centuries Catholic social philosophy understood this very well .
