Not only that, Farooq and Gloria. How many people have unbridled capitalist greed, especially the internationalist/imperial variety, killed all over the world? Marx has proved sentient and in some cases prophetic. We could definitely use Marx's sagacity and insight in this age of predatory capitalism.

Maybe Jesus' and Muhammad's apologists should be even redder in the face (if their faces can turn red, that is) since more people have died and continue to die as a consequence of the teachings--or interpretations of the teachings-- of these figures than from the teachings--or interpretations of the teachings--of any historical figures in the entire recorded history of humanity.FarooqFarooq A.

Half of the population of Libya was killed by the Italians and one third of Namibia by the Germans.
Has anyone been able to count the dead in the Americas?
