Working class as master race

For Marx, socialism is about state control, or at the very least presupposes state control.

And this isn’t that surprising. After all, in The Communist Manifesto, the most widely read Marx & Engels text, Marx lists 10 measures to be done immediately after the working class seizes state power, and these involve massive nationalization and strict centralization. Obviously, this can’t be done without a state.

But, before we tackle this, let’s rewind a little bit and see where religion slots in.

Full member of an infernal alliance. God and the state.  Religion and Nation. 

Marx panders to the dominant religion of his day and promotes some of its traits.

Money is the root of all evil.  The END IS NIGH!  Sound familiar?

 Then of course the Jews killed Christ.  OF COURSE!

Nothing wrong with a little opium. A little money.  A little market or two.  And some little slave labor from the offspring.   Let us prey.  Such is the Commissar priests  blessed way.  No Marxist is ever anticapitalist enough to spoil this endless gray train.

Lukács accepted Marxist Bela Kun’s arguments on the necessity for revolutionary violence, saying later:

" ... we Communists are like Judas. It is our bloody work to crucify Christ. But this sinful work is at the same time our calling: only through death on the cross does Christ become God, and this is necessary to be able to save the world. We Communists then take the sins of the world upon us, in order to be able thereby to save the world ..."
