Reader comment on item: More Reasons for Alarm at Ahmadinejad's Threats

Marx, the "Mohammed" of economics, is still the darling of the socialist left. Old wine in new bottles, as the left replaces the Soviet Union model with political Islam model. After all,
Islam with its "Jihad" is not so different than Marxs' "Proletariat revolution" and dictatorship
of the clerics is strangely similar to the "Dictatorship of the proletariat" . If ,as Marx said,
religion is the opiate of the people, a slight overdose is acceptable, or so the post Soviet

an industrial model of social conditions in England of the 1800's is no match for a system which allows enslavement
of females, murder of non-subscribers, etc,etc,
