[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mucus: [QB] That logic would be sound only if: a) Those manipulative leaders weren't Christian and b) Stalin and Mao actually did follow Marx Honestly, First of Two has dealt with the first and we've already established that they WERE following Christian beliefs. As for the second....in Russia: It is noticable that even Lenin wanted to remove Stalin from the Communist party...a relevant quote is dated January 4, 1923...if I had more time I would type it out in its entirety. Stalin's purges were partially directed at the older Communists that actually paid attention to Marx because it threatened Stalin's power...which is ironic considering you're trying to use that as proof that he actually listened to Marx. In China, Mao didn't follow Marxist beliefs either because he emphasied the peasant over the factory worker/proletariat. In fact, this and other ideological differences (Due to the fact that Mao emphasied the need to change Marxism to make it relevant to China) that lead China and Russia away from cooperating early on to actually having border incidents in the 60's. So in short your logic is rather unsound. Which leaves us with two possibilities: A) Marx is responsible for how Stalin and Mao twisted his writings and by the same token, Jesus is responsible for how the Inquisition and Crusades twisted his sayings. or B) Jesus and the other founders of Christianity are not responsible for how others reinterpreted their sayings and thus Marx is not responsible for Stalin or Mao....and you'll have to give up your current violently illogical and unfounded hatred of Marx. We'll leave the more radical view that the Christians fighting the Crusades and doing the Inquisition WERE following the Bible....a book which includes directions to smite, or fight a holy war against, anyone that worships idols, other Gods, more than one God, etc.. to another post after I sleep. :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
