FOR MARX ON HIS 200th BIRTHDAY - Jersey Flight



On the History of Marxist Movements: the absurd notion that a radical humanist such as Marx would have anything to do with the totalitarian history of so-called Marxist Societies is totally unfounded. The conservative distortion (that Marx is responsible for Stalin and the like) is without justification. Marx indeed saw a better world, but not without the social consciousness to realize it. Though evil men may have used the form of his ideas (fallaciously) to justify their greed for power, these distortions never rose above barbarism, even though they claimed to transcend it. The thought of Marx is essential to all forms of freedom, both social and individual. In short, the thought of Marx is really about the comprehension and realization of freedom.
