I must say that I have not read "The Communist Manifesto." However, there
is a Marxist concept that is interesting for Christians and that is the
notion of the "New Man." It seems to me that that concept means selfless,
honest, people sacrificing themselves to the Communist state. A sort of "new
birth" that will become the norm of the citizens of the Marxist state. In
a way Marxism is promising heaven on earth when the Marxist society is
established. This is religion, Christianity without Christ or God. The
whole of Marxism is a misunderstanding of Fallen man. Pure nonsense!!
