Crap analysis. Viewed in absolute income terms, even the bottom is better off in capitalism, not even counting the personal freedom.
Marx does NOT promote these values. Marx believed in centralized, non-democratic economic and political decision making.
These are democratic values in a FREE society, the OPPOSITE of marxism.
Duh.
What are these people thinking?? Marxism is SO 19th century...
Yes, let's ignore Jesus' "theories" in favor of Marx. Dummasses.
"The poor you will always have with you"
The others were not responsible for 150 years of global misery and tens of millions of deaths
Marx was.
The Church's position on marxism has been very clear for decades.
Funny how we forget that John Paul II publicly lectured Castro and the Sandanista regime on the empty philosophy of Marx.
. “Let us recall the fact that atheism and the denial of the human person, his liberty and rights, are at the core of the Marxist theory. This theory, then, contains errors which directly threaten the truths of the faith regarding the eternal destiny of individual persons. Moreover, to attempt to integrate into theology an analysis whose criterion of interpretation depends on this atheistic conception is to involve oneself in terrible contradictions. What is more, this misunderstanding of the spiritual nature of the person leads to a total subordination of the person to the collectivity, and thus to the denial of the principles of a social and political life which is in keeping with human dignity.”
