How is Marx like Jesus? They were both philosophers whose ideas appealed to fanatics and were used to kill millions of people. Marxism is the current scourge. They claim they are secular and non-superstitious thus scientific in some way. In fact, their religion is based on nihilism, jealousy, and death.
How else is Marx like Jesus? Their philosophy seemed like a good idea during times when other people had to deal with the practicalities of governance. For Marx, the monarchies took care of the bad stuff. For Jesus, the Romans enforced the peace. Neither philosophy can be used to rule a country. If tried, we wind up with open borders, no accountability, and crazy corruption.
They are both overly simplistic and tap into emotion.
"People are hurting"
"We must help them"
"I can't do it myself so I must force others to help me help them"
I will then feel good about myself and my ability to force others.
That sounds really un-American.
Yep. It also doesn't fit the word FREE very well.
