YOU SAID {"Marx said in a letter to his colleague Engels,

"Darwin's book is very important and serves me as a natural scientific basis for the class struggle in history. One has to put up with the crude English method of development, of course."

Both Marx and Darwin were creatures confined by their hatred of God, their arrogance, and their misanthropy."}

So let me get this straight, by your logic ( the original statement was that you didn't expect to find Marxists here at Freep), then Since Hitler embraced Christianity and used it to support NAZIism, then all Christians are followers of Hitler and NAZIism.

WOW! What a brilliant bit of logic!

Marx to Engels on Darwin:

"Darwin's book is very important and serves me as a natural scientific basis for the class struggle in history. One has to put up with the crude English method of development, of course."

The above letter to Darwin clearly states Marx's admiration for the old man. Wishing it were not so doesn't change the reality of that.
