@vanbadham @nathan_forster A quote from Dorothee Sölle, “I am often impatient when believers ask me: ‘Are you a Marxist?’ The best reply I can think of is a counter-question: ‘Do you brush your teeth? I mean, since the toothbrush has been invented?’ How can anyone read Amos and Isaiah, and not Marx...
@vanbadham @nathan_forster ...and Engels? That would be absolute ingratitude toward a God who sends us prophets with the message that to know YHWH means to do justice...
@vanbadham @nathan_forster ... Are we not obliged to use every analytic tool that can help us to comprehend injustice and at the same time reveal the victims of injustice as the possible forces for change that can break the spell of oppression for both the oppressors and the oppressed?...
@vanbadham @nathan_forster ... Can we afford to ignore Marx at a time when it ought to be clear to every attentive observer of the misery of the Third World that capitalism neither can nor will satisfy hunger? Our economic system works for the rich, not for the other two-thirds of the human family.”
