Perhaps you might not want to call it materialism

Call it what you wish but defend your statement that my quest for 'personal needs that I enjoy' (materialism) is as 'evil as marxism'.

and things we gain that do not go beyond greed,

Pleae provide your definition of 'greed'.

“”but defend your statement that my quest for ‘personal needs that I enjoy’ is as ‘evil as marxism’””

I never said things you might enjoy are evil,materialism is evil once you understand what it is.

I wish you a Blessed evening!
