“Anything distinctive about the West is probably bad, and not a real “value” that anyone should cherish.”
Marxism is a value system founded in the West. People trying to escape “Western values” should shun it. On the other hand, Judaism and Christianity originated in Asia. Arguably, also beer, and civilization, but I digress.
Founded in the West? Proof please.
I’m pretty sure Marxism’s core fundamental beliefs are based in atheism, which is based in gnosticism.
