It has been the acknowledged right of every Marxist scholar to read into Marx the particular meaning that he himself prefers and to treat all others with indignation.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Karl Marx was in favor of socialist and communist-socialist revolutions, but he had a pretty nuanced view about it.
And Marx spoke of the fact that socialism will be the kingdom of freedom, where man realizes himself in a way that humankind has never seen before. This was an inspiring body of literature to read.
I am not a Marxist, but I place myself resolutely at the left.
Something that's seldom appreciated about me is that I am in sympathy with a great deal of what Marx wrote, except that I'm on the side of the bourgeoisie.
Marxism is a revolutionary worldview that must always struggle for new revelations.
I am still moved by passages of Marx: the 'Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right,' for example, where, after the famous line about religion being 'the opium of the people,' he goes on to call it 'the heart of a heartless world.'
Well you can be the son of a Marxist and not necessarily be a Marxist in all your views.
Ideologists of all kinds find a strange sort of comfort in the madness of the crowd; it confirms them in their suspicion that history, far from being made by the great mass of individuals - as Marx averred - is rather unmade by a single massive individual, a collective Other, who stands in stark contrast to you and he.
If you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine.
Both Marx and Christ agree that in this life, a right action is consideration for the welfare of others.
