You are aware that Karl Marx had been more influenced by the French Revolution and Reign of Terror when creating Communism than by the Jesuits, right? For goodness sakes, the Jesuits were forced out of France in 1762, well before the French Revolution took place thanks in large part to the French Enlightenment. Don’t believe me, read this: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05418a.htm If anything, Marx had based his philosophy more on the likes of Voltaire, Diderot, and especially Jean-Jacques Rousseau than he did on the Jesuits.

Now, I will acknowledge that Jesuits have lost their way if Pope Francis is of any indication, but the rot started in the 20th century, long after Marx’s time. If anything, Marx influenced the Jesuit’s current corrupt nature, NOT the other way around.
