While reading up on Marxism, I read an interesting part of Marxist's views on literature. A Marxist believes that economic and social conditions determine religious beliefs, legal systems and cultural framework. Which I personally agree with. One of Karl Marxs' views that i agree with also is that Marx believed that religion is used to keep people in their place and docile. He thought that religion benefited the established order.
Karl Marx was a magnificent philosopher, political economist, historian, political theorist, sociologist, communist, and revolutionary.
More to come.
