[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP again. Do you know anything about Marxism? Dialectical materialism? The debates about whether the revolution would come from the proletariat or could it come from the peasants? Why there were so many executions of political opponents on ideological grounds? Lenin and Stalin were operating under a secular ideology that was as rigid as any religion.[/quote]

You said it yourself - ". . . as rigid as any religion."  Religion is rigid.

Dialectical materialism is not.  In theory, it's about the interdependence of opposing sides.  Therefore, there's always motion that should - in theory -  shift the balance. that perhaps if the working class emancipated itself capitalism would be erased

In practice, however, this doesn't work b/c those with means will usually win - whether that's through capitalism or dictatorship.

It's simply human nature -  Darwinism at work. The strong will survive.

That's why it's so easy to prey on people using religion as the main vehicle.  Promise them the world, and they'll follow.

same situations, I suppose - But IMO using fairy tales and myths to persuade folks to take action (for good or evil) is cruel.
