  • The Non-Christian Nature of Marxism
    The Non-Christian Nature of Marxism Andrew T. Looker, Jr. HSOG Culture and Crisis Conference Liberty University March 6, 2021 I am from Charlotte, North Carolina. I graduated from Liberty University in May 2020 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in U.S. Government, with a concentration in Politics and Policy. I also graduated with a minor in History. I am currently in my second semester of studies in the Master of Arts in Public Policy program. Introduction Marxism is one of the most impactful philosophies in the history of mankind. It refers to the political and economic theories formulated by Karl Marx, a German philosopher who lived from 1818 to 1883. Marx’s most well-known works include the Communist Manifesto (1848) and Das Kapital (1859). Marxism initially consisted of the three related ideas of a philosophical anthropology, a theory of history, and a radical economic and political program.1 More specifically, Marx claimed that capitalism is just one stage in the historical progression from inferior economic systems to superior ones. Marx held that every society throughout history has been divided into different social classes which drive conflict. Within the capitalist framework, Marx claimed that society consisted of two classes: the bourgeoisie, or the business class who control the means of production, and the proletariat, or the workers whose labor produces valuable economic goods. In Marx’s view, the bourgeoisie profit at the expense of the proletariat, who they exploit by means of low wages and poor working conditions. As the political and economic inequalities between the upper and working classes continue to grow, Marx predicted that the proletariat would increasingly become alienated from capitalism.

Muray Dr. Leslie A, Muray (Episcopalian) is a professor at Lansing Community College in Michigan. Born in Hungary, he came to the U.S.A. as a young boy. He received his Ph.D. degree at Claremont Graduate Theogical School in California. He is the editor of the C.A.R.E.E. Newsletter on the Christian-Marxist Encounter. This paper presented at the "Marxism and Religion" seminar, at the Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Religion, November 19, 1990. It is rather commonplace to hear that there is no tradition of democracy in Central and Eastern Europe. Focusing on resources provided by history, religion, and certain aspects of Marxist thought for the construction of a non-capitalist, post-Stalinist society in the country of the author's birth, Hungary, I hope to dispel this Western European and North American stereotype in this essay.

  • 1 Remembering Marx's Secularism* Scholars Engaged in the Critique Of
    Remembering Marx’s Secularism* Scholars engaged in the critique of secularism have struggled with the numerous meanings of the secular and its cognates, such as secularism, secularization, and secularity. Seeking coherence in the secular’s semantic excess, they have often elided distinctions between these meanings or sought a more basic concept of the secular that can contain all of its senses (Asad 2003; Taylor 2007; see Weir 2015). Numerous scholars have observed strong similarities between secularism and Protestantism (Fessenden 2007; Modern 2011; Yelle 2013; see McCrary and Wheatley 2017), at times echoing a Christian theological tradition that has long been anti-secular (Taylor 2007; Gregory 2012; see Reynolds 2016). Unlike this anti-secular tradition, the strongest version of the critique of secularism is a critique of the conditions that produce a distinction between secular and religious and a critique of the ways that empire benefits from this distinction. Overcoming a tidy separation between secularism and religion requires fracturing both and reassembling them in new ways that allow messy life to exceed governance (Hurd 2015, 122- 27). Remembering Karl Marx’s secularism provides an opportunity to recover the differences within secularism and its difference from Christianity, but also its odd similarities with religion. This recovery can help refine the critique of secularism and preserve some important tools for improving material conditions. * Joseph Blankholm, Department of Religious Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA 93106, USA. E-mail: [email protected]. I owe thanks to several PhD students at the University of California, Santa Barbara for their valuable insights and feedback, including Matthew Harris, as well as the students in my seminar on materialism: Timothy Snediker, Lucas McCracken, Courtney Applewhite, and Damian Lanahan-Kalish.

  • Marxismo Y Religión: ¿Opio Del Pueblo?**
    Michael Löwy* Marxismo y religión: ¿opio del pueblo?** ¿ES AÚN LA RELIGIÓN, tal como Marx y Engels la entendían en el siglo XIX, un baluarte de reacción, oscurantismo y conservadurismo? Brevemente, sí, lo es. Su punto de vista se aplica aún a muchas institu- ciones católicas (el Opus Dei es sólo el ejemplo más obvio), al uso fun- damentalista corriente de las principales confesiones (cristiana, judía, musulmana), a la mayoría de los grupos evangélicos (y su expresión en la denominada “iglesia electrónica”), y a la mayoría de las nuevas sectas religiosas, algunas de las cuales, como la notoria iglesia del reverendo Moon, son nada más que una hábil combinación de manipulaciones financieras, lavado de cerebro y anticomunismo fanático. Sin embargo, la emergencia del cristianismo revolucionario y de la teología de la liberación en América Latina (y en otras partes) abre un capítulo histórico y alza nuevas y excitantes preguntas que no pueden responderse sin una renovación del análisis marxista de la religión. Inicialmente, confrontados con tal fenómeno, los marxistas recu- rrirían a un modelo tradicional que concibe a la iglesia como un cuerpo reaccionario enfrentando a los trabajadores y los campesinos cristianos * Filósofo y director de investigación del Centro Nacional de Investigación Científica de Francia, CNRS. ** Traducción de Bárbara Schijman. Revisión de Michael Löwy. 281 La teoría marxista hoy que podrían haber sido considerados soportes de la revolución. Incluso mucho tiempo después, la muerte del Padre Camilo Torres Restrepo, quien se había unido a la guerrilla colombiana, fue considerada un caso excepcional. Corría el año 1966. Pero el creciente compromiso de los cristianos –incluidos muchos religiosos y curas– con las luchas popula- res y su masiva inserción en la revolución sandinista claramente mos- traron la necesidad de un nuevo enfoque.

  • Gustavo Gutiérrez's Notion of “Liberation”
    Gustavo Gutiérrez’s Notion of “Liberation” and Marx’s Legacy of “Ruthless Criticism” by Sarah Lynn Kleeb A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Religion University of Toronto © Copyright by Sarah Lynn Kleeb 2015 ii Gustavo Gutiérrez’s Notion of “Liberation” and Marx’s Legacy of “Ruthless Criticism” Sarah Lynn Kleeb Doctor of Philosophy Department of Religion University of Toronto 2015 Abstract This dissertation examines the content and meaning of Gustavo Gutiérrez’s notion of liberation in his pre- and post-1986 writings, framing the trajectory of this notion as a direct response to the 1984 and 1986 Vatican condemnations of liberation theology, composed by former-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (now, former-Pope Benedict XVI). While Gutiérrez’s early theology was in part informed by Marxian social critique, charges of explicit “Marxism” resulted in a significant reordering of some central critical elements, in ways that complicate the fundamental liberationist assertion that theology is to be a “second act.” Following Ratzinger’s critique, Gutiérrez moves ever closer to a theology that talks about liberation, and away from a theology that is itself liberatory, particularly as bound to praxis and critique. Where Gutiérrez once questioned the very meaning of religious unity in a world characterized by (economic) division, for example, his later theology abandons such speculation, asking instead, “How are we to live evangelical charity in the midst of this situation?” The ramifications of this shift are such that the initial aims of Gutiérrez’s liberation theology have largely been re-assigned, with a focus on liberation as a question of faith rather than a question of human emancipation and agency.

  • The Image of Jesus in the Russian Revolutionary Movement the Case of Russian Marxism*
    JAY BERGMAN THE IMAGE OF JESUS IN THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENT THE CASE OF RUSSIAN MARXISM* SUMMARY: This article explores how Russian revolutionaries, in particular the Russian Marxists, used the image of Jesus to explain their political choices and commitments. These revolutionaries were almost uniformly hostile to institutional Christianity. Yet a number of Russian Marxists, such as Anatolii Lunacharskii, considered Jesus a genuine precursor of socialism. In 1917 many Bolsheviks and Bolshevik sympathizers interpreted the October Revolution in Christian terms, principally as a spiritual resurrection and rebirth. And in 1924, following Lenin's death, some Bolsheviks analogized Lenin to Jesus, and claimed that both were revolutionary martyrs. Finally, the article argues that Russian revolutionaries in- vested the Russian lower classes with a Christlike virtue, making it easier for the revolutionaries, once in power, to justify everything they did as advancing the interests of these classes. It is often said that the Russian revolutionary movement professed values that are, in the broadest sense of the word, religious. The emphasis on the perfectibility of man and on the moral transformation of the individual, the glorification of self-sacrifice and martyrdom, the belief in a Golden Age at the end of history bringing with it collective regeneration and rebirth - all these attributes of Russian radical politics from roughly 1840 to 1930 attest to the influence of religious values, if not of religious beliefs, in the devel- opment of revolutionary ideology. Indeed, one may speak of the Marxist scheme of history, which had special appeal in Russia beginning in the 1890's, as following in many significant respects the scenario of Christian- ity.
