charges? I think you just made one. We'll need some proof.

OK, let's review: You claimed evolution embraces Marxism. I asked for evidence. You posted a quote snippet from a Marxist author which asserts that Darwinism & Marxism "form one unit".

PatrickHenry also mentioned Jerry Bergman's ICR article that tries to link Darwinism with late 19th century laissez-faire capitalism, and remarked how creationists have tried to blame evolution for both capitalism AND communism AND Naziism, all at the same time. Your response was to claim we:

were "deny[ing] history"
were "somehow blam[ing] God for Marx and Hitler"
had a "'blame God' reflux[sic]"
had "become an apologist for Marx and Hitler"

My, my, all that from PH's 2029! (Or was that a generalized screed against my posts as well?)

Anyway, then I proceeded to analyze Pannehoek's full argument here and here, and found it a hopelessly muddled collection of plausible speculation and ad-hoc leaps joined by logical fallacies. In fact I concluded that his comparison of Darwinism and Marxism was "a cargo-cult justification for Marxism".

Your reaction was to characterize my contextual analysis of the quote you relied on as:

"blaming capitalism and God for Marxism" (huh?)
"defending Marxism" (ridiculous)
"putting all [my] faith in a Marxist" (I'm the one putting their faith in Pannehoek???)
"tak[ing] to heart" the rest of his article (IOW analyzing the quote in its context)
"drool[ing] over their dogma, seeking to find something anti-conservative" (riduculous)

I'm calling you on this. I say it's intellectualy dishonest of you to characterize my analyses of your source Pannehoek's quotation and article as being anything that could be construed as supporting Marxism, being anti-God, or being anti-conservative.

You have practically charged me with being a Marxist. Prove it.
