Karl Marx

[AP26]

Anyone else fascinated with Marx? I could read about this guy forever. I think his work was intended for other things besides what they are perceived to be for.

I wish I had people to talk about this with

 

[Caesars Ghost]

Why don't you elaborate a bit?
What do you find fascinating about Marx in particular?

 

[AP26]

Well I was reading a book by Dr. Henry Morris called "The Long War Against God". It was good read about creation vs evolution. In the book it mentioned Marx and communism. It basically stated that Marx's thinking of society was based on an evolutionary basis. He also mentioned Marx as being affiliated with Satanism. He noted these poem, and the soure lead me back to a book called Marx and Satan.

Seemed Marx had a strong hatred for God, and had some notion of he could defeat Him through the implementation of atheistic communism. I'm also interested in how his ideas have been translated into our society culturally. Since he couldn't get the proletariat to unite after the first world war his ideas failed. Since then they figured they has to infiltrate our social institutions to achieve the revolution Marx was looking for. .

Also he was perceived to not have any religious affiliation, but in reality he worked very closely with a man named Moses Hess who was, I beleive,the creator of Zionism.

If you really want a very good perspective on Marx, read what Thomas Sowell writes about him.

Thanks. I'll have to look into that.

Publication of Marx's Communist Manifesto: 1848
Publication of Darwin's On the Origin of Species: 1859

Marx: From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.
Evolution: Survival of the fittest.

I'm afraid Morris is equally bad at history and science.

I dont know bruh. Marx was influenced my Darwin in some way. He wanted to dedicate Das Kapital to Darwin.

Plus given the fact evolution theory was around way before Darwin wrote about it. Who knows.

Well you're right in that he sure didn't intend with his work what people like Morris are able to creatively impugn to him.

Yeah that evil evolution, influencing writers via time travel.

Morris' book was just to add onto my already perceived notion of Marx. His ideas brought no good to humanity, and probably were intended not too.

It goes back, as far as I know, to Nimrod.

 

[Gadarene]

Not really. There were similar ideas like Lamarckism at least.

But that's Lamarck's idea of evolution, not Darwin. The two theories aren't the same thing.

 

[Gadarene]

It goes back, as far as I know, to Nimrod.

 

[bricklayer]

Nimrod was unique in that he proposed the idea of chance. At the time such was unheard of. All things were then attributed to something spiritual. At the core of evolution is chance.
Chance is the exact opposite of God, even to the extent that it has no being.

I'm actually interested to see how you came up with this.

It's been a while, but I do remember that Dr. Henry Morris wrote the most interesting things I read about Nimrod. His book on Genesis was the first of his I read. I'm sure he discusses it there. Dr. Norman Geisler is another good source. (I'm not synergistic or dispensational, but they are good authors I have learned much from.)

Nimrod was a very interesting person. Many of his ideas are quite main steam today. Perhaps the idea of chance is the most evil and pervasive.

Do you have the title of the book by Morris that talks about Nimrod? I have to get that.

 

[Adaephon]

Considering the Bible mentions Nimrod extremely briefly, I wonder how this Dr. Morris managed to create an entire philosophical tradition attributed to him.
