Marx made a big deal about how the poor oppressed workers were "alienated" from the means of production. They got no emotional return from the sweat of their brow. Good point, but, hey, you wanna talk alienation? Look at the alienation when the "state" owns everything.
Poor Karl -- he could have gotten rid of all of his alienation just by believing into Jesus.
With Marx the cure was ten times worse than the disease. Maybe a hundred times worse.
