No evidence

Jack O’Connor: “Marxism is your God, Mr. Marsh, and you wholeheartedly devote your entire being to it …’’

Marxism is a social science — an ever-evolving study of the capitalist system and class relations that endeavors to present an alternative to said system. It is not a religion.

Marx and Engles called for the abolishment of capitalism through revolution and for workers to receive the (full) economic benefit of their labor power or intellectual power.

On the other hand, Christianity essentially calls for workers to remain submissive and to await a better life in the “afterlife,” which is, of course, a con job.

Christianity does not have any ideas about a nation’s political or economic policies.

It may be argued that their religious beliefs lead theocracies, yet their religions only target individuals, whereas those in power use religion as a guidepost for enacting policies.

Marxism outlines how people/workers could govern themselves. Christianity dictates how people should manage their lives as individuals.

O’Connor: “There is far more evidence that God exists then [sic] of Marxism ever being successful.”

First of all, Marxism is an economic and political theory rather than a form of government.

A socialist society has yet to exist anywhere on Earth. And perhaps Jack O’Connor would care to present empirical evidence for the “existence” of “God.”

I guess that Jack will present no such evidence because it does not exist, for “God” is nothing more than a matter of unthinking belief that is passed on from one generation to another. Those who claim to possess scientific evidence of “God” would never present their evidence to the scientific community because they know that “evidence” would not stand scientific investigation.
